Acceleration installation and CFG file

[lodestar 186]

Acceleration does not install SP2, only SP1. Acceleration/SP2 contain code to make sure individuals who install the freeware SP2 cannot use the product addons in Acceleration. I have found that having both SP2/Acceleration installed has caused CTD's.

No, no, no... Acceleration = SP1+SP2. And there is no such a code, actually - SP2 was made to ensure multiplayer compatibility with Acceleration.

 

But i still recomend use of SP1+SP2, no Acceleration. I tested this on many computers, not only mine, and Acceleration was buggy in most of cases.

 

SP1+SP2 will perform better, i saw +10fps and better smoothnest on SP2 vs Acceleration on same system and same configuration.

 

Is not only about mission pack, one plane and garmin panel... They have different autogen and different atmosphere for example. Also, there are some examples of planes which flies realy high and fast, they cannot reach max speed with acceleration etc...

Again, Acceleration does not install SP2.  Please do some research before posting erroneous information - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ptaylor/archive/2007/10/02/acceleration-and-sp2.aspx .  It takes me a lot of time to go out and do the research myself to correct your bad information. For one, SP2 was released much later than Acceleration so why should it be installed before Acceleration? And DX10 in SP2 and Acceleration are the reasons for better performance, not the SP.  Anyway, just read the first paragraph in the link.  It contains all the information from the lead FSX developer.  You also want to read the 3d post down from Phil in the comments section about the coding.  I try to post the most accurate data I can find about a topic but it is all subject to many interpretations.  Effective communications is difficult no matter where you live on Planet Earth.

This is from above link:

"Acceleration has RTM’ed. Acceleration Pack contains the SP2 fixes; including both DX9 and DX10 work..."

 

And in that post below:

 

"We performed careful integrations between both the Acceleration and SP2 products to make "embed" the SP2 code into the Acceleration build so it also contains the fixes in SP2, for both DX9 and DX10"

 

 

I still can't understand why you said that acceleration does not install SP2... Yes, SP2 was realased after acceleration, i have posted that recently here in forums too. But they are suposed to have same fixes, only that acceleration have a couple of missions, a plane etc... Becouse it's payware. And it's normal marketing move for payware acceleration to be realised first. I said also in my first post in this thread that OP should install only sp1+sp2 or only acceleration.

 

And about that code, again, SP2 was made to ensure multiplayer compatibility with Acceleration.

They are definitely two separate products, we know that. When i say that Acceleration will install SP2, i mean that Acceleration will install SP2 fixes and DX9 and DX10 work. Is there something else to install from SP2?

 

Just to make it clear, In performance comparision i was talking only about DX9 performance, i don't use DX10

 

Jim, English is my third language and I accept the possibility that i didn't understand well what you tried to say. But this is clear to me - acceleration and sp2

Obert,

yes you will only need the SP2 download if you dont purchase Acceleration
