November 24, 20232 yr Gentlemen, I am trying to install Microsoft FSX and FSX Acceleration into my new powerful gaming desktop Windows 11 computer, using my original Windows XP compatible CDs. FSX has been installed and activated already, but the Acceleration CD never finishes the installation while validating components registration process. Have you guys encountered this issue and if yes, how did you resolve it? Also, are SP1 & SP2 available elsewhere, where I can download and install them separately, please advise? Respectfully, Frank J. Cintron, P.E.

Also, are SP1 FYI, Acceleration contains the SP1 & SP2 updates, so you would only want to install them if you opt not to install Acceleration. SP2: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8986 or https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/2796/flight-simulator-x-service-pack-2/ SP1: https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/1950/microsoft-flight-simulator-x-service-pack-1/ or https://www.gamefront.com/games/flight-simulator-x/file/flight-simulator-x-service-pack-1-english
November 24, 20232 yr Back in the FSX days, I encountered a similar problem several times, and found that copying the Acceleration installer from the CD to the hard drive made it work. Why? Who knows... There are components in the SP1 and SP2 updates that are *not* included in Acceleration...installing all of the service packs in order is the right way to do it. Similarly, the SDKs for RTM, SP1, SP2, and Acceleration should all be installed in order as well, as they install different versions of Simconnect that coexist in a side-by-side library, and some add-ons do use the older versions.

November 25, 20232 yr Or use the simple solution, FSX Steam Edition. Just sayin'.
