"When it comes to licensing our simulation engine, Dovetail Games is the obvious choice for us to work with. We haven't heard any word on how the add-on system will change (or remain the same) - but we can presume we can continue using all of the freeware packages just as we do now with a current Flight Simulator X installation - this includes aircraft packages, scenery and utilities available from all of the add-on sites we have come to love. This is also great news for payware developers too as it will create a bigger marketplace. Hopefully this will create a greater community following and expand the community by drawing in new users of the software. Not only will we see X-Plane on Steam, but now we'll also be able to see the even more popular Microsoft Flight Simulator X available as a downloadable product. So this is massive news for the flight simulation industry. This partnership is perfectly timed to support our expansion into new areas of simulation."
"We are thrilled to be exploring new flight simulation opportunities using Microsoft's technology, and look forward to using our extensive expertise of Steam publishing to successfully bring Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition to a broad new audience on the Steam platform. "I am delighted to be working in partnership with Microsoft as part of this agreement," said Paul Jackson, CEO of Dovetail Games. They have also announced that they have signed a global licensing deal, "granting them the rights to develop and publish all-new flight products based on Microsoft's genre-defining flight technology".ĭovetail Games plan to release Microsoft Flight Simulator X Gold Edition on Steam as a downloadable product called, "Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition". Announced last week, Dovetail Games - the company behind the successful Train Simulator franchise have announced that they have acquired the rights to distribute Microsoft Flight Simulator X Gold Edition.
