Incidentally, if your install paths don’t include the (x86), don’t panic. Likewise, the entries in the Windows Registry, known as ‘keys’, are also different, so installers may well not find them. Instead, it can be found under X:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\FSX.
The reasons for this are that FSX:SE is not installed to the standard X:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator X location that has been its default home for the last eight years. What stops most of them working immediately is not the code changes, but rather the executable installers for those add-ons. On the other hand, and this is critical, most things will work with FSX:SE. This fact is proven very quickly by the fact that a number of hugely popular – many would say essential – FSX add-ons that don’t currently work with it. The fact that this is basically the FSX we know and love (or loathe, if you’re a die-hard X-Plane fan) doesn’t mean that FSX Steam Edition is exactly the same.
It is FSX plus the Acceleration add-on, which includes Service Pack 2, so if you’re currently successfully running FSX, surely you won’t get anything from buying this, right? Well, actually, you will, so it’s still worth keeping on reading, but if you’re expecting a fully implemented DX10/DX11 environment, 64-bit code and and end to the out of memory crash then this is not the sim you are looking for. Let’s get one thing straight right at the start FSX Steam Edition (FSX:SE) is FSX Gold, to all intents and purposes.
