October 30, 201411 yr So you are saying my FSX/A install is only patched to Service Pack 1? No. Acceleration is not patched. FSX/Acceleration has everything that is in the freeware update to FSX called SP2 but has more aircraft/scenery/missions. Back in those days, you had the option of buying the payware Acceleration which contained the updates to FSX or just wait until SP2 was released a couple months later.

October 31, 201411 yr Ok....I have FSX Deluxe with SP1 and SP2 but I want to add Acceleration for carrier ops. Can I install it with FSX and both updates or do I needto uninstall and reinstall? Ok....I have FSX Deluxe with SP1 and SP2 but I want to add Acceleration for carrier ops. Can I install it with FSX and both updates or do I needt to uninstall FSX entirely and reinstall?

You will only have to uninstall SP2 before you install Acceleration. The best gift you can give your children is your time.

August 17, 201510 yr I'm confused now. I have Deluxe and have installed SP1 & SP2. I have a bunch of MegaScenery, some airports and some Carenado planes. It all works great now.(after much effort). I now want to get an F-14 payware but the carrier ops and some other features require Acceleration. Do I need to reinstall everything, or uninstall SP2 or just install Acceleration? I also bought FSX Steam Edition on sale but I'm afraid to try to install it now. I believe it has Acceleration already.

August 17, 201510 yr Commercial Member I believe there is now a Carrier that works with Deluxe (in my opinion Deluxe SP1/SP2 has the least issues). The Carrier should be in the AVSIM Library.

August 18, 201510 yr Thanks all. Dave - I couldn't find the carrier in the library. I saw a 3wire for FS2004 is that it?

August 18, 201510 yr Commercial Member Below is a link to at .least one carroer compatible with just SP2 (Deluxe). I believe there are several more... just Google it and you'll find them.

August 19, 201510 yr Thanks Dave! I'm originally an USN F-14A pilot so I'm looking forward to this. Thanks for your help.

August 19, 201510 yr Commercial Member You're most welcome! Nice that you were an F-14 driver! I did a tour in an NFO Billet, P-3Cs (darn it). I did everything I could to get a ride in a F-14 before they went, even the Dilbert Dunker in Pensacola while on leave! In the end, luck wasn’t with me. That being said, I studied Carrier Ops and can fly them all with a good degree of accuracy / realism. We'll have to go up together sometime!
