It's been so long since I have installed FSX so my question. How do I find out if and what service pack I might have. I see alot regarding FSX acceleration. is acceleration something I need as I realy dont have interest in air racing, jets or carrier landing. Am only interested in realism and game performance. With this site being so active, I figured I'd just ask. I was just looking at this FSX.cfg stuff on Avsim and quit because I can't even find this .cfg on my PC. Thanks.

Hi,In Control Panel the Add/Remove software screen will tell you your version. Yes, it is called a different option depending on your OS.

Much appreciated, I do see Flight Sim X, as well as Flight Sim X SDK SP1A. Leads to the question as to the SP2 then. Is it something I need being a GA sim pilot? TY.

There are some differences between sp1 and 2, and most developers these days usually build to sp2 standards. So in that regard if you want lots of good freeware and payware planes you need sp2. Acceleration adds, besides working carriers, the ability to sling loads under your helicopter, and it has sp2 included so if you install acceleration you do not need to install any service packs.

Hi,The SDK listed has nothing to do with whatever version FSX you have installed.
