Guys, I think I've got a problem...

 

My copy of Acceleration was purchased and DOWNLOADED directly from Microsoft, who it seems, no longer provide that service.

 

It also seems I never backed up the folder called 'XPack', which contains the Acceleration version of the SDK.

 

Anyone know how I might re obtain this, as I don't believe my SP2 SDK will work?

 

Any help much appreciated.

If you need the SP2 SDK you can download just that from Microsoft.

Thanks Jim, but the SP2 SDK doesn't work correctly with Acceleration:-(

Amazon UK sells Acceleration pack on disk for £9.60.

Im also having trouble with simconnect see here; http://forum.avsim.net/topic/403624-simconnect-and-as2012/.

 

I have been advised to install SDK1A and 2 but if as you say it doesnt work what can i do?

Thanks Gerry.  Guess I'll just get that from Amazon then.

FS Developers.com has detailed instructions on how to install SP2 SDK if you are having problems, but, are you clairvoyant?  You haven't bought Acceleration yet but you already know the Acceleration SP2 SDK will not work correctly?  :lol:  I have to agree though that it's hard to get it functioning correctly after the first or second installation.  I recently went through the process and had a hard time getting AS2012 to work properly (got simconnect crash).  I think it was the third time it worked.

 

Best regards,

Jim

Sorry Jim, you missunderstand....  I've had Acceleration for a long time.  I bought it from MS as a download.  What I've err.... lost, is the folder named 'XPack' that contains the SDK installation files for it;-)

Sorry Phil for the misunderstand.  I failed to read your OP or look at it more closely.  My scanner (brain) is not working so well as I do some fast scanning and reading. 

 

Best regards,

Hi where is the Xpack folder located as i want to back it up.

 

Is it safe to install SDk SP1 and 2 as I have Gold?

Depends exactly how you bought it.  My Acceleration was a download, and within the main folder was one named XPack.  That is what I've lost;-(

i downloaded FSX Gold and installed it C:\FSX\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X

 

but i dont have an xpack folder there.

No, the XPack would not be in the FSX installation folder.  It should be a separate folder (or zip file) within the source data.  Mine wasnt 'Gold' though, so could be diferent.
