Streaming via Steam

Question

Hey everyone, I purchase X-plane a while ago and I would like to use Steam via the streaming option however whenever I try to Stream it does not work correctly. Can anyone give me any pointers on how to set this up? If there is any additional configurations necessary? I am streaming from a loaded i7 4790k to a MacBook Pro via N wireless so I should have plenty of computing power and plenty of network bandwidth.

Hi Kimchi,

X-Plane 10 is available as three separate products: on DVD, from Steam, and through proprietary Digital Download. They do not cross over--i.e. if you bought the DVD, you cannot use the digital download. Or if you bought the digital download from X-Plane.com, it is not useable with Steam. You did not specify what version you have, but if you didn't buy X-Plane through Steam you will not be able to use it with Steam.

This doesn't come close to answering my question. I purchased X-Plane through Steam and am trying to use the Stream Stream option to play the game. When I begin to stream the game it opens the loading screen, and then when you chose your airports and plane type is stops steaming.
