(Which is still not allowed due to licensing agreements with their data suppliers.) And perhaps they could lift restrictions on business use for it as a sim platform. I wonder if they'd ever consider an Enterprise Edition? Maybe that could go someway towards what the guy in the other thread was saying regards criticism of the tools.

Is this the first FS release where MS has charged for the SDK by not releasing it for download? Either it's due to licencing or the added effort of tidying up the SDK tools for the public and documenting them to this new (better at least) standard is something they've decided to charge for.

It states something like that FSX can be used for professional purposes only where sold with development tools. I note that the EULA has specific wording regarding the SDK also. I guess the old saying is true 'read the fine print before you buy' I was focused on my new Vista OAS as an issue not SDKДЄre there any third-party licence dependent applications in the SDK? I guess that could mandate either a separate release and/or a higher price due to licencing restrictions. I personally know three people who did the exact same thing I did and ended buying BOTH versions. MS FSX is a great product at a fair price and I do have fun but I still would like to know why SDK was left off or why it can not be downloaded like FS9. I have no problem forking my $$$ to MS but I do not like the idea of doing twice for the same product.

Was it a 'cost' thing? If I understand the deluxe version it is not even installed when you install FSX you need to go back and search for the SDK install program. I still do not understand why the tools were left out on the standard version.

It appears that many 3 party software developers (commercial & freeware) need the SDK tools to work. Like I said the standard version (in my opinion) should have at least given a warning 'that my software may not work for FSX' than at least I would have researched a bit more. I was not prepared to go to the MS site and find out that the 'only' way you could get SDK was to go out and buy the deluxe version. I really assumed (wrongly) that MS put SDK on the deluxe version to save you the trouble of navigating their site for the needed SDK tools like in FS2004. Not all of us grasp the concept of SDK or lack of it and rely on our commercial or freeware to utilize the needed tools for scenery design (on a fun level). Infact I bought from Amazon and read some reviews and the best I could come up was more Aircraft, more Airports and on line playing. If you buy FSX from on line vendors you do not see the feature SDK included. I know that if you read both boxes you do see that SDK is excluded from standard version but here is my point.
