OK...I feel an "FSX Moment" coming on...

Will these (both) need "acceleration"?

I suspected I was having a lot of FSX CTDs when I had it on, so left it off when I reinstalled. My FSX is now pretty stable - despite maxing just about everything out.

Is it worth the risk in adding acceleration? Can it be easily removed (without totally stuffing up FSX)?

Hi Adam if you install Acceleration it will uninstall the server packs and over write FSX so if you want to remove it you will have to install FSX again I am using accelerator and have had no problems with it it is virtually the same as when I had FSX SP2.

Yes sorry you will need Acceleration. You probably could fly the Etendard without Acceleration but you will need it for the carrier & carrier landings and launching.

Doug, Paul - thanks for the info. I think I may hold off with acceleration after all - on the grounds of "if it ain't broke ..."

You're surely not running a vanilla FSX??
Accel really does address some major issues.

Also, If like me you are a gear fetishist, do not miss the main gear wheel wells of this model...
VC too. Along with Dino C's models for FSX, topnotch.

Charl - you've got me intrigued now ;-)

I have FSX + SP1 + SP2 ... what issues does Acceleration fix beyond SP2? My gut feeling (

) is that Acceleration intoduces more issues than it fixes ... but that may be because my old FSX+Acceleration system was just too overloaded with other crud.

Is it OK to install Acceleration over SP2? I'm so terrified of messing with my FSX when it's actually behaving itself!

Marty - I don't think it's downloadable anywhere (though I'm often wrong

) ... mine was part of the "Deluxe" version of FSX.

Posted: **Fri Oct 22, 2010 6:31 pm**

It doesn't fix anything after SP2, just adds new aircraft, catapualts and traps on aircraft carriers and some other scenery (I think

)and you can install it over SP2.

Adam I misunderstood your setup, didn't realise you had SP2 in.
My personal experience was to uninstall FSX, reinstall, then add Acceleration.
Many of the issues I then had before were improved.
But you should do it, just for the carriers (it's all I do in FSX anyway!)

Yeah I bought mine in a box.
It was just MS trying to recoup some of their overspend on fixing the original issue, plus you got some extra goodies.
