Recommended Posts

Have spent a long several days reinstalling FSX onto new SSD's but not satisfied so I'm starting over..again...I'm a longtime simmer and FS user, but I want to confirm the order of reinstall and see if anyone has any suggestions.  I go in the following order

 

1. FSX

2. SDK

(run FSX and exit)

3. FSX Acceleration

4. SDK SP1

5. SDK SP2

(run FSX and exit)

(do the usual tweaks and fixes in FSX.cfg)

(run FSX and exit)

6. FSUIPC

7. Run FSX and Exit

(test wideserver/wide client)

8. Vpilot/Simconnect and test

9. ASN on remote client and test simconnect

10. FTX Global Base

(run FSX and exit)

11. FTX Vector

(run FSX and Exit)

12. Install Regional sceneries

13. Install Airports

14. Install addon aircraft

 

Let the tweaking begin!

 

Of course on it's own drive, running as adminstrator, etc.  Any thought or suggestions as to this methodolgy?

Why the SDK?  I would do 1, 7, 3, 7, 6, 7.  The rest is at your desire.

I believe vpilot, SB4 and ASN among others require the SDK along with modifications to the simconnect.ini and simconnect.cfg files.  In fact, vPilot requires a specific build of the SDK  At least that's what I've been doing or the last six or seven years.  Of course, I stopped using SB4 about a year ago.


But, I'll test the recommendation and not install the SDK and if simconnect works....
