Where to Buy FSX

I've recently had to rebuild my Win7 after a nasty bug attacked and trashed it and thought it would be a good idea to buy the Gold Edition rather than mess around with my Deluxe (add the SP's and SDK's then add FSXA and SDK's) and couldn't find a copy for love nor money.. out of stock everywhere!!
I ended up doing it the hard way with Deluxe/FSXA and having activated it.. then proceeded to mess around with the permissions on C: (I was trying to get some addon scenery to load without having to reinstall by using a saved scenery.cfg). Changing the permissions made no effect at all.. I was putting the scenery.cfg in the wrong place!!!:banghead:

So.. having installed Win7 again this morning to get the C: permissions back to normal.. I now have to install and activate FSX/ACC all over again but this time.. with phone activation:(

The moral of this story.. NEVER, EVER change the permissions on C: drive.

More reasonably, Gold is available at the FS Pilotshop here for $49.95.

See, that's what I was kidding about. It's listed for $49.95 but you can't add it to cart anywhere. First, I thought it was me, but I looked and looked and finally selected something else and saw where the ADD TO CART button should have been, but wasn't.

I must have tried at least 10 links like that at various places.

And every time, it was: "YAAAY...........Awww!" :playful:
 
The Flight Sim Store has them on sale for around $40 something
Aust. Dollars. Also if you have EB Games they usually have the
Gold edition pretty cheap. I bought a spare the other week and
it cost $24,including postage.
