Hello,I am a new player.And I have a question that whether steam will give me a key of xplane11 after I buy this game in steam(I want to buy the game in steam but download this game in the official website and I don't know whether it is workable).

I have a suggestion that the official website should support Chinese just like the DCS World did.In fact,I even dont know what the official website introduce the first time I visit the website and becaus of it,I couldn't buy the key in your website.

These two ways of purchasing are mutually exclusive.

If you buy X-Plane on Steam, you will have to use Steam to run it and update it. You do not receive a product key and cannot use the proprietary installer.

If you buy X-Plane from Laminar Research at X-Plane.com, you will receive a product key and you must use the proprietary installer to install and update the sim. You cannot use it on Steam.
