I notice that my Steam folder is very heavy (16.5 GB!), Wow something like several DVDs!
But I only have one active game (FSX) and deleted the rest. I don't understand.
Does it mean that FSX is a stand-alone program on my PC and I can play without an internet connection to Steam? Before that, I thought that all the datas were located on the server.
If not, to me (horrible egoist) Steam isn't interesting. :(
Only 16.5 GIG ?
According to the Steam Microsoft Flight Simulator page (http://store.steampowered.com/app/314160/) the game requires 30 GIG of hard drive space.
So yes you need to have all your Steam games on your hard drive.
I know you don't play games these days GT but most modern games need something like 20 GIG drive space.
Many thanks Data. I'm lucky, my Steam with FSX runs on a 32 GB memory card...
No more games, I'm not a gamer. :D
Strange, very strange Steam... Today I can connect with My W7 netbook (first time).
No real interest because Flight Simulator requires a 1024x768 display (mine is 1024x600 only).
That's why I continue to use my Windows 8.1 netbook (1366x768). No problem for now.
Maybe it would be a good idea to buy, one day or another, a true computer. After Windows 10? :scratch-head:
After loading Steam on my basic W8.1 machine, I did the same thing on my W7 netbook.
As expected, FSX can't work on it (the resolution problem) but... at least I discovered Lara Croft. Nearly 20 years later.
I'm late for everything. One day or another, I'm afraid I will discover the social networks. ;)
Look up Tomb Raider anniversary edition - I got it a few weeks ago, takes some time to master the controls though.
The original Tomb Raiders can be found on Steam too, ideal for a low spec PC.
Yes, Freddy. The TombRaider I found on Steam works on my modest netbook.
I remember, many years ago, an article saying that this game was a pretext for husbands to watch a sexy girl while "working" on their computer.
No doubt I prefer Second Life. But SL isn't on Steam. Because SL isn't a game. And I'm not a gamer. :D

Strange story... :scratch-head:
Yeah it is strange that SL isn't on Steam, after all Steam has all kinds of software to offer, not just games.
Hmm, SL not a game ? I wonder why on the SL home page they say "Play Now" then :D ;)
