Too many buttons! Anyone have tips on this one?
#Can i install fsx deluxe and steam on the same computer how to#
yep, even though I figured out how to play offline I still have to login to steam and enter a password. There're probably other buttons I need to press too. To play FSX Steam, I have to launch the steam launcher icon on the desktop, select the library menu item, select the game, and select play. Here's something which stills needs to be looked at. Also, the only edit I made to the fsx.cfg file so far was to change the line WideViewAspect line from' False' to 'True'.Ħ. The installation of FSX Steam was so much easier compared to the retail version. Best of all there is an endorsement and a detailed instruction from 'Nickn'. Apparently there's already a new version of nVidiaInspector, version 2.1.3.20, that works on my nvidia equipped laptop. Simply 1) create a new folder on the root of a drive 2) copy steam.exe and the steamapps folder into the new folder, and 3) launch steam.exe. After googling, I discovered that there was an easy solution to moving FSX Steam away from that folder. FSX Steam installed on Window 10's "Program Files (x86)" which I didn't care for. After several message exchanges, to Steam's credit they gave me a refund (an online credit actually).Ģ.

I guess they assumed that when I used FSX that I was also using the DLC (Catalina).

How did that happen? I told them I used it for less than 5 minutes and wasn't even sure how DLC's worked and how steam counted the hours played with the DLC. Apparently, it automatically installed without my realizing it. I had a heck of a time trying to get a refund because Steam said I've used it for more than 2 hours. I bought the Catalina airport for Steam at on sale thinking it was the same one sold by ORBX. Why the steam version? I read it runs smoother than the boxed or retail version of the original FSX, AND, it was cheap at about $5.ġ. I'd like to keep the installation simple, minimalistic, 'lean and mean' and making it easy to back-up unlike my PC desktop which has lots of addons.

Specifically, I'm using this on a laptop which has Windows 10 running on i7 cpu with 8 GB of RAM and unfortunately only a 5400 rpm primary drive. I seem to be spending more time fooling around with the program with seeing how it can work well on a not-state-of-the-art laptop instead of flying. I'm new to actually using Steam, but not to FSX.
