November 18, 200916 yr Kinda a basic type question, but I'm suffering a brain fart. What's the install sequence to bring FSX up to date on a new Win7 computer. I've got the original Disk of FSX, and the FSX Acceleration Disk. I believe it's1. Install FSX2. Install SP 13. Install AccelerationJust need a confirmation, or am I missing a step?/s/ Tony

But I would wait for someone to confirm what I said. And then if you wnat the SDKs it gets even more confusing.

November 18, 200916 yr Commercial Member Acceleration contains SP1 and SP2 so no need for a separate install.This is the proper install sequence:1. Install FSX from the DVD, load up the sim and load up the default flight2. Exit the sim and reboot3. Install Acceleration from the DVD, again load up the sim and load up the default flight.4. Exit the sim and reboot.5. You're done.It is recommended to install FSX in it's own folder (called FSX for example) at the root of your C (or other) drive. Konrad
November 19, 200916 yr Commercial Member Why take the chance that you don't? A whole 2 reboots is not exactly a mission and it is what is recommeded in Nick N's guide... Konrad
November 20, 200916 yr Guys, is installing the SDK's necessary, I thought that it might be so because some of the add-ons that I may be running, i.e., ASX, PMDG-747, My Traffic, etc. ?Tony
November 20, 200916 yr Commercial Member Guys, is installing the SDK's necessary? TonyNo, it is not. Not for any addon I have ever come across at least. Konrad
November 20, 200916 yr Unless of course, you're running programs like ASA across a network. - Dean P3Dv4 & XP11 space
November 20, 200916 yr If you want to edit schedules etc in MyTrafficX then yes you do need to install the SDK. Cheers, Andy.
