Just Got X-pack

[harleyman]

I hope I did it correctly..

I have in order

FSX
SP 1
SP2
SDK 1
SDK2

Then I uninstalled SP2 (FSX)
And installed X-pack.................................Good? Bad?

So I tried a carrier landing out the box....YUP..Crash and burn on deck...LOL

Then out to Norfolk Va NAS and flew the Blue Angel.......

But I noticed that there were lots of ground traffic,cars,trucks,etc, just running all over the place..Not on the roadways.....

I have...FSX GEX UTX FSGenesis My TrafficX


Normal?

By X-pack are you referring to the Acceleration package?

If so then your order is not so good.

Read here installation order (http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=65038&highlight=chicken)

Thank you Boomer.....

So..don't even bother with FSX SP1 then? Everything else I get......

For you.....:ernae:

And I believe I'll go with the optional option just for the neighbors enterainment........:wiggle:




1) Defrag your hard drive.
*2) While waiting for that, sacrifice a chicken & lie prostrate in the direction of Microsoft.
3) Install FSX
4) Install FSX SDK
5) Fire Up FSX, register & allow the scenery libraries to be built.
6) Shut down FSX
7) Install Acceleration
8) Open Acceleration disk & install SP1a SDK
9) Residing in the same folder is the SP2 SDK, Install it.
10) Open the dll.xml & make sure that the disable tools is set to false.
*11) Dance naked under the light of a full moon as FSX loads for the 1st time.

*Optional but highly recommended to ensure success.

Yup no need for SP1, it is included in Acceleration (as well as SP2).

tis Cool...Sorry.Forgot to call it Acceleration......DUh....:isadizzy:

Its been rolled back for now as I had a driver failure and restored back..I'm doing a reformat and Image of my OS this week so I was just checking the order so I don't mess up my new install like I just did.....


Thanks.......Mason

You're gonna love it. FSX without Acceleration is no fun. The aircraft you get with Acceleration and scenarios are priceless.

Ill be installing soon also, What does the SDK do for me?

[harleyman]

I don't really know..Have never used it..But I do know it is a tool for building things like airports,scenery,repaints,etc...I think.......


Lots of folks here are builders/repainters and can answer that better than me.....I just like the planes and missions it gives you(Acceleration)

We built this mission pack for the Accel pack.. or CaptainSim.. Pretty good fun I think have a peek here..
