August 27, 201015 yr Hi all,I seriously need help. Myself and m friend have been trying to fly online only when we hit a major set back. WE JUST COULDNT CONNECT! He has FSX Deluxe version and i have the standardedition. Is this a problem or would i need to upgrade to his version. so u no, i have Acceleration installed. This came as quite a shock as i am an experienced fsx user!!! :(
August 28, 201015 yr Make sure he has SP 1 and 2 installed, Im not sure what comes with his version. Jay
August 28, 201015 yr FSX (standard) and Deluxe differ only in the presence of the SDK (if installed). It has always been my understanding that it is the SP level that make them unable to communicate. Both "standard" and Deluxe can be upgraded to SP1 and SP2 with the free downloads from Microsoft. Only the Acelleration upgrade is payware. If you are both at the same SP level (1 or 2), you should be able to fly together - not that there aren't also other issues that can keep you from connecting - like a firewall. Acelleration includes SP2.Loyd Hooked since FS4... now flying: FSX Acceleration on Win7/64, Core Duo E8400; GA-EP45-DS3R; GTX 460-768MB; 4G RAM; Freezer 7 Pro
