    FSX Gold vs FSX-SE for Sim Rebuild?

    Last week my PC gave me the "Black Screen of Death" while I was getting a cup of coffee. If my computer repair folks can't recover the data on the bad HD my entire FSX and FS9 installs are down the drain. Yes, it's my fault for not doing proper back-ups. With that admission off my chest, my question is: If you were starting over in FSX would you stay with the FSX Gold with Acceleration disk set or go with FSX Steam Edition?

    Actually I would probably go with Steam Edition, only because it does have some bug fixes in it that would not be present in the original Gold edition.

    Steam would be the way to go. We build for it and if you had any of our models we will replace them at no charge. Just PM me

    With my new computer I made the switch from boxed FSX Acceleration to FSX Steam Edition. Installation was a breeze, although I do recommend installing it a directory other than C:\Program Files (x86).

    The Steam version also got some updates that the boxed version never did.
