My question is this:
I have a pile of stuff I bought for FS2004 that I don't wish to buy for FSX again.
Of what out there is known to have either a free or heavily-discounted upgrade path from FS2004 to FSX?

Nope, there isn't.
Since it's over four years old, FSX should be pretty affordable by now though.

Actually there is at times.
I`ve seen several planes and sceneries where the developer has a discount on upgrades to FSX versions. The thread-opener has to check one by one though, as it is of course no general rule.

Well so far I've been able to use/upgrade ActiveSky 6 (HOORAY!), Flying Club Piper Warrior and Aerosoft's Cheyenne without needing to shell out more money (although the Cheyenne is very buggy in FSX).
Not bad - but I'm dead chuffed about ActiveSky 6 being a free upgrade path. Just a shame that ASG doesn't work.

Why dont you make the list of what you owne? What difference will it make? No one is answering the question anyway apart from 'check with your supplier' etc -oh brilliant! O_o Bloody waste of time.

What I had asked is what people (of the top of their own heads) knew had easy upgrade paths. I wasn't expecting anyone to list thousands of products, just products they knew/owned that had been upgraded to FSX. At MOST this might be 2-3 per person. Not a big ask - but here, apparently it is. CHEERS!

Rabbit,you having a bad day? I think you got some reasonable answers there. We don't know what add-ons you got. Checking out the suppliers web-site seems like the right thing to do. Chill out
If you watch Jaws backwards, it's a heart warming story about a shark that spits out so many people that they have to open a beach.

Also, you need to take into account that most of us made the FS2004 to FSX move years ago... I can hardly remember the stuff my wife told me to do this morning, much less what upgrade path I took from FS2004 to FSX :-)
Most of my favorite add-ons I fly in FSX today didn't exist in FS2004, I only recall the Aerosoft Beaver being one that I also loved in FS2004 and Aerosoft allowed you to enter your proof of purchase from the FS2004 version on the BeaverX purchase site for a discount on the FSX version.

LOL - that made me laugh, Kludger. (the wife bit) I agree wholeheartedly. I believe I have some aerosoft purchases - I'll check it out. Thanks.
