At the time of my writing this, it's on sale for $US4.99!!! An absolute bargain! So take the opportunity to get it cheap NOW!

Here is the link to the steam FSX forum Topic Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition Change Log

I have the Captain Sim L-1011 and L-1011F working in Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition (which I will write as FSX-SE from here on), but I forgot some things I need to do, so when I finish my first short flight in it (in around half an hour), I will do those things that still need doing.

Later on, I will try each Captain Sim product for FSX in FSX-SE, and (hopefully) figure out exactly what needs to be done to get them working. Dovetail Games make no guarantees that ALL 3rd party addons will work, so it might be up to the developers to get behind it.

So far, FSX-SE seems to be very frame rate friendly, but it's hard for me to tell because it is very bare when compared to my FSX with heaps of addons, like Orbx FTX AU, NZ & Global scenery.

When I installed FSX-SE, it chose ULTRA settings for my computer, and with no addons whatsoever, I was getting better frame rates than I ever remember  seeing from a straight out install of FSX and Acceleration! It does seem better, but I could be imagining it.

The talk in the Steam Forums is that it does seem to perform better than FSX Standard/Deluxe with Acceleration, or FSX Gold (which is what it is only on Steam). People are saying that "this product", or "that product" does/doesn't work, but unless you really know what your doing when it comes to porting them over, it can easily end up being a miss instead of a hit.

I can imagine the creators of the FSX to P3D Migration Tool rushing to make a migration tool for FSX to FSX for Steam!

It's is chocked full of bugs. It seems they didn't properly test it when they ported it over to the Steam API.

He released it yesterday, actually. I'd post a link, but the forum doesn't allow it without a certain number of posts... 

It's nice to have FSUIPC and all, but the Steam version still needs a lot of work.

So, is there no way to get the CDU working for the Steam Edition?  Or did I install it wrong, and it won't show up?

NOTE: I will eventually copy all my Captain Sim FSX aircraft to FSX-SE to see what is needed to be done to get them working.

I disagree. I have not had a single problem with FSX-SE since I installed it and played it. I don't know why you would be having problems though.

I have it working great so far - I will explain how I did it in the 757 version 4.x (FSX ONLY) forum. Just give me time to get the testing done please.
