FSX Steam Edition On Sale

Can FSX:SE and FSX be inter-connected multiplayer wise?

My friends all use the boxed version but I was thinking of going from FS9 to FSX and the SE version seems more appealing
 
Well. I bought Steam just to give it a shot after reading how well it was.

Migrated all the good things over, GEX, UTX, REX, etc only to discover that indeed it does run as smooth as my boxed version. Only problem is that I get screen tearing bad . V Sync or any other numerious things I have tried seem to fix it.

I even tried Open GL but that seems to make it worse. So it was then writting three frames. frontside showing, backside written to show next and then one to backup the backside one.

It leaves me with one conclusion... My Vid card is faster than my monitor.

So.. Its a deal breaker for me.. happy it was only 5 bucks.. Well worth the try.

It seems that something they wrote into their new compiler is not quite the same as far as displays are concerned.
 
Is FSX:SE a stand-alone application installed on my hard drive that can be played just like the old boxed FSX --

or do I have to be logged in and on-line and play it via the Internet in order to use this simulation ??

No I am afraid they can't.
Steam have their own multiplayer network that FSX cannot access.
I think you can still use the third party multiplayer sofware.

Just installed it.. But as far as I can tell its stand alone. It is a full install.

I get a pop up stating that I can hit this and that key to go on the Steam forums... But not sure its online till that

Thank You for the reply. I have another computer that I want to install it on and I really wasn't interested if it was an online multi-player game setup. That's just not my style and I wanted a stand-alone installation.

For $5, I'll give it a shot. Thanks again.
