First off. THIS IS NOT A GAME!

-There is no Explosions
-There is no Deaths
-There is no graphic crashes
-There is no winning or losing
-You will have a HORRIBLE experience if you play this on anything other than a computer (cell phone, tablet) with a joystick, yoke and other airplane periphials.

If you need any of the above, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. This is a simulator. Real airline pilots use this simulator for training. If you are new to the flight simulator world (i have been flying MSFS since version 1.0 in 1980) then welcome aboard and remember the 4 points above. Most of all remember THIS IS NOT A GAME!

Now on to my review, lol:

I am little late to the game but I had to post how EXTREMELY pleased I am with the Steam version of FSX. Dovetail really did a good job working out all of the kinks. I have been trying to run the FSX boxed version since it was released. Bought more powerful computers and still have never been able to run FSX successfully. And successfully means flying a whole route from gate to gate without crash. Ive always foind myself tweaking the settings and searching the internet to figure our how to get it right... Because surely Microsoft wouldnt release a product that only works on some systems right?! Well i never got it to work. I have been flying on FS9 instead which is VERY stable. The problem? None of the latest and greatest addons are compaitable with FS9. Grrr

Enters FSX-SE

I have done several long distance flights this past week without one crash or hang up and frame rates are awesome. All of MY addons are compatable. I have several payware airports and payware planes, all work without a problem. If you are still having issues with your boxed version of FSX or find yourself constantly tweaking the settings to get somewhat optimal flying performance then you should give Steam version a go. You will be pleased! There is not much if anything different visually between the boxed and SE except framerates. So if you are NOT having a problem with the boxed version, you can stick with that. But for the vast majority of people who are banging their heads on the desk trying to get FSX to work. This is your answer.

Good Job Dovetail
