FSX Steam Edition any good??
Just as the title says, are there any real improvements over the original??
The original I had a bit of tough times running it on my laptop before but I'd like to know if maybe this is something worth keeping an eye on?? Casey |

It's FSX - it is a little optimized though, and the new publisher ships it with some extra planes. Considering it's regularly on sale for as low as $5.50, you can't really go wrong with it.
The only issue with it right now is that some of the payware add-ons made for FSX are still not compatible with it. Most are. |

Yeah I noticed it was 5$ and snatched it up.. and honestly I feel like either they took ALOT of scenery out, or they made some real improvements. I am getting 25-30 FPS on ground at KLAX and Chicago O'hare and like 40-60 in the air no problem... but I suspect maybe they took some things out?? I feel like KLAX is just.. dead while I am there. I don't have the original to compare.. but I guess I am happy i can make flights without CTDs now. I might start picking up a freeware add on here and there. EDIT: I should mention this is on ALL Ultra settings.. I have never been able to go with all ULTRA settings before. |

One improvement I noticed was that, if you take the training courses and wish to print the Certificates, you can now
Also, they fixed the missing script problem with the training missions. Seems the scripts got messed up when FSX was converted to Steam. All seems fine and so far, they have released a couple patches and I think I heard that will be releasing another one soon. Rumor has it, Dovetail games may be working on the next Flight Sim for Microsoft.

Can someone point me to where I can get this:
VRS Aircraft Configuration Manager. And have folks had much luck with it regarding FSX Steam. Thanks. |

Here are 2 links that refer to it.
http://vrsimulations.com/FA18EFSX.htm http://www.simhq.com/_air15/air_546a.html As far as I can tell, the "VRS Aircraft Configuration Manager" is not a stand-alone add-on but part of an add-on.
