Microsoft Flight - Where To Buy ( An Original ) ?

[ETatBKK]

hi there

I downloaded the free Microsoft Flight for a test flight, impressive ! yet it doesn't allow me going further - a product key it need !

followed FAQ from steamcommunity.com and the marketplace.xbox.com returns an error message : this offer is not valid in your region :-( so no product key !

the xbox.com checks my IP and even I select my home country, no help.

2 QUESTIONS :

can I buy Microsoft Flight online somewhere ? or

can I buy Microsoft Flight box set somewhere in Bangkok ?

thanks . . .

Hi

Microsoft Flight simulator has its last version X, that is already some 6-8 years old. Microsoft has stopped the develoopment of flight simulator and I do not know whether copies are still available in the market.

I agree with you that MS flight simulator is a fantastic simulator, I played it intensively and enjoye a lot.

I found this link http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/microsoft-flight-simulator-its-back-and-its-free.htm ; as there are a large number of flight enthousiasts that will try to keep the flight sim going.

I have some information from a dutch flight sim club http://www.hccflightsimulator.nl/, check it out as those members have sometimes a 2nd hand market and might sell old microsoft software.

here is a link to a shop that looks to offer microsoft flight sim fo Euro 45 ??? http://www.pilotshop.nl/contents/en-uk/d142_Microsoft_Flight_Simulator.html

hope they did not run out of stock.

I hope one of these links will help you further.

as it is really a fantastic sim. to play.

Microsoft Flight Simulator X indeed a product of 6 years old. I actually look for the Microsoft Flight for my Thai nephew, an easier entry point than the Microsoft Flight Simulator X ( for enthusiasts ). well, both not available in Bangkok. Microsoft Flight is an online product, yet at some point I need a product code :- (

I also tried X-Plan, a more up-to-date flight sim, very impressive but very technical. I could buy it online but the shipping is ridiculously high.

both Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane are DVD based, no soft copy available.

I am not sure if you can get a more local version, but, I just ordered it from Amazon in the US (fortunately for me, free shipping to a friend in the US who is coming to Thailand in 2 weeks).

Flight is not Flight X. It is a version that is simplified and integrated with Xbox360 live and is a pc game for it It is now discontinued but has about 12 aircraft available and scenery and missions in hawaii and alaska. You can play it f you buy it with a us card and sign up for a microsoft live ID which will need a new email address and someone to sign you up in the US. Having done this you then either continue to use a US ccard for purchases or purchase the points using one and buy the add ons with that. I believe shops there can also sell points cards.

Not as genuine as the FLightX but still realistic visual flying with interesting challenges.

lucky you :- ) indeed which version you buy ? Microsoft Flight Stimulator X ( FSX ) could be ordered and downloaded online. Microsoft Flight Stimulator GOLD ( additional aircrafts, airports or missions ) is a DVD-based product, still available in US. Microsoft FLIGHT ( discontinued 2011 ) is a newer version and is free-to-play, yet adding aircrafts and missions, you need an US IP-address. I tried from Bangkok then rejected.

now I am more keen on the Microsoft Flight Stimulator X Gold. although it is an older product, the user communities and the product comprehensiveness are very interesting. yet, it is a DVD in the box and not sending outside US !

p.s. X-Plane is far too complicated !

I ordered Microsoft Simulator X Gold. I am happy to hear about the user communities and positive remarks about the product.
