I read an article here about installing FSX Gold, in a different folder in C drive (Windows7 64 bit)which I did. FSX microsoft flight simulator X. Everything seemed fine & at the end of install I chose not to run it. I was going to install Accelerator under the same name so that add ons wouldn't be a problem but it wouldn,t install because FSX hadn't been activated yet. So I went to C drive & opened FSX which held all the individual subfiles but I couldn't find how to run it. Any help out there?? Do I have to uninstall it & try over only this time activating it?

The program file is called: fsx.exe

Thanks...I looked for that one in the list but it wasn't there...but there was one that just said FSX...I clicked that one & it took me right to the activate screen. So far everything seems ok but I haven't loaded accelerator yet. I would presume I should send it to exactly the same folder that I put FSX in , right?And thanks responding quickly...I am totally unfamiliar with FSX & not very experienced in messing around with files. My world has been in FS9 & XP

OK.. you have "hide common file extensions" enabled. That is why it shows up as "fsx". http://www.fileinfo.com/help/windows-show-extensions.htmlYes, go ahead and install Accelerator to the same folder.

Thanks again Bert...I will load acclerator there as well. Just one more question...maybe 2. Do you think I will have any problems loading add-on programs to the same file? And which do you feel is the best traffic program for FSX?

Most add-ons will find the folder by themselves.As to traffic - I'll defer to others to offer an opinion.My first rule for traffic is to turn it down to get better FSXperformance. Starting with freeway traffic = 0.

Thanks for your help...much appreciated
