I currently have the regular version of FSX loaded, but I wanted the SDK so I purchased the Deluxe version of eBay. Does anyone know if I have to do a complete re-install (which I don't really want to do) or is there a way for me to install the SDK onto my current installed FSX?Thanks,Henry

The SDK is a separate install. Simply open the CD in the explorer, go the the subdirectory and run the installer.

Note that once you run that, you will have the "RTM" version of the sdk. Go to fsdeveloper.com and see the wiki on how to update the sdk once installed so that it matches your fsx sp level. At a min, you should be at sdk sp1a which includes the object modeling tools and some fixes to the original tools. If you want to model in GMax, you need to separately d/l and install that from turbosquid. scott s..

Scott - as a point of information - when you install the RTM version of the SDK, the executables of gmax (program, help files and tutorials) are actually placed into a folder in the main SDK installed folder. One still has to register at turboquid.SDK SP1a includes the gmax gamepack.You correctly point out the one should install the SDK SP to match the level of one's FS version.

Thanks to the both of you. Regards,Henry

OK. I know it was included in some prior FS versions but thought it wasn't on the FSX sdk disk.At any rate, GMax 1.2 can be had from here:http://www.turbosquid.com/gmaxscott s..

You probably should visit this link to get the latest information regarding SDK's -http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?...ation_%28FSX%29The best overview I have run across.
