Had Steam from day One..The GREATEST !..Ported over years of DISK FSX.. Was on cloud nine!..I did Purchase a plane ,No problem//I then Purchased their MANHATTAN X..The usual Steam way under extreme secrecy,pass words special codes.PARANOIA!....They Installed it...and in one minute they wiped clean my installed FSX Steam..Left me with the Purchased DL..that's it!..no scenery,Planes ,Controls..NOTHING..NADA...So I started my inquiry's with Steam,Making a long PAINFUL FRUSTRATING story Short...It was An Experience in a Cyber Space Insane Asylum...a Labyrinth of Dead Ends,pass words changing,Menes with not a clue, of what I was seeking.a VIRTUAL MINEFIELD!.. On Face book Finally got what I believed to be a Real Person..But Soon the Robotic Talk was there....I then deleted the whole thing STEAM FSX gone......Luckily I Had FSX DISK installed..a Mirror of The Loaded Steam FSX...So I still fly FSX,Did not lose my Sim Treasures....A horrible Experience..Sign of the Cyber age...The bad news Is I Lost what I Had And Liked,The good News Is I still have What what I like....moral here is TRUST NO ONE!.. CAVEAT EMPTOR ,BACK UP BACK UP.,BACK UP.my PASSPORT my most invaluable tool...Saved the day....We come a Long Way Baby since my First Sim in 1982

Busy busy, Vin. Recently back from visiting family and friends in the UK and now getting engrossed in projects to do with house and garden. Main thing is I'm now pushing on with 'the big one' which is the redevelopment of my house that I've had in mind from day 1 and now have the resources in place to get on with. It's very exciting - I'll keep you posted Roger

Glad to hear things are working out Vin!!!
I'm actually quite fond of my Steam FSX and seems a better way to go. However, I've heard tales of woe from folks so perhaps my day is coming.(smile)
Things are FINALLY starting to settle down around here. Slowly but surely things are getting back to normal.
Cheers,

Thanks Vin.......yes....I still have my disks...however, with Steam it's always available and easy to install. Not only that........runs much smoother than I ever thought possible. Just read a post today from the Orbx Scenery CEO that had a meeting with Dovetail Games. Sounds promising and sounds like Dovetail is in the Flightsim business for keeps. Good news for worthless souls as myself.........my only entertainment these days. (smile)
Many Best Wishes my Friend...........I think about you often.......stay well!!!
Cheers!!
