Goodbye Flight Simulator X

[matwoodson]

Well, I upgraded to Windows 10 after not running FSX for a couple months, and I jump back on today only to find that it no longer works, and I can't reinstall it. Thank you for all the wonderful memories. Goodbye Flight Simulator X, and f*ck you Microsoft.

if you dont have the steam edition, on sales it tends to drop to like... a few dollars/euros/pounds

 

EDIT: you cant demand them a game launched 9 years ago still works flawlessly on a brand new (still a tad buggy) OS, can you?

Nope, but thanks for the help, I'll just buy it from steam again when it drops to a few dollars...

I was seriously thinking about X plane, but it's $60 still and it's not much better than FSX

its worth it if you get the high res textures and a few other mods to make it look better 60 dollars isnt that much for a global flight sim
