Fsx steam edition12/28/2022 The MD-11 and 747 use a much simpler activation system, requiring only a one-time verification of order number and customer account info at the time of installation. That will indeed require PMDG to produce new installers for SE. I think that the main issue right now with the NGX and 777 not working in even an SE-only installation is the use of a more complex activation system, requiring a running service (flexnet) in order for the aircraft to load and function properly. Things get more complicated on a system which already has FSX installed, as SE will put its config files in non-standard folders, and its registry entries will likely not be easily found by an installer expecting "old" FSX. If you install SE on a computer which never had original FSX, SE will install itself with all files, folders and config files in "standard" locations, so an SDK-compliant add-on and installer should work just as it would with the original FSX. I have saved the situation at that point, and will do the actual flight later today, as we are heading out shortly for family Christmas dinner.īased on what I have seen, I'm 99% confident in saying that the MD-11 is fully functional in SE. I still have not yet gone airborne with the MD-11 in SE, but I have done the complete flow from starting with a cold and dark cockpit, through powering up the systems, entering a route and performance data in the MCDU, starting engines and doing all pre-taxi systems checks, to taxiing to the hold-short point at the runway. Are devs planning to create a Steam compatible version of it anyway? I am planning to buy the MD-11 for FSX SE, so I would like to know if you experience any issues with it "as it is now" JRBarrett. My apologies if this is already "old news". I'm assuming that the 747-400 will install as well on an SE-only system. I've been at my computer for hours installing and configuring add-on scenery and airports, so will put off the first test flight until later today - but it certainly appears that I will at least have a PMDG long-haul aircraft to use in FSX-SE, until the newer titles can be modified to work. I just updated the Nav Data with the current Navigraph cycle, and installed the FedEx freighter livery from the PMDG web site, and so far, so good. The only reason that I put the proviso "appears" (to work) is because I have not actually flown it yet, but it loaded on the first run post-install with no issues, and all systems appear to be fully functional. The installation proceeded with no glitches or errors. I know that most of you are eagerly awaiting the NGX and 777 being made compatible with FSX-Steam, but FWIW, the MD-11 DOES work on FSX-SE, at least when installed into a clean SE-only system.
