Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I discovered that helis like Acceleration, at least the latest payware R-66 from Alabeo does. It is quite dead on the ramp with out it apparently. Alabeo assures me that not having Acceleration installed is indeed the culprit...sigh. In order to upgrade from SP-1/SP-2 to Acceleration, will I have to uninstall addons first? Or can this be upgraded over the FSX program without killing my scenery and aircraft? If I have to reinstall everything I might just let that new helicopter gather dust till I have to reinstall everything over some other issue. I'd rather fly it though. Thanks in advance, Matt.

brett 2,283 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I would guess it would be a good idea to back up FSX for all files you might want to add back in and app data files, for your pilot log book. Just in case. Uninstall SP1&2 using the control panels uninstall program. Then restart your PC and install Acceleration. I hope anyway. Some payware might have to reinstalled, I don't know for sure. There is probably a tutorial around here somewhere, I'll take a look. I think my FSX ran better after installing Acceleration compared to just the SP's being installed, so give it a try.

MyPC8MyBrain 273 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 you don’t need to uninstall anything maybe sdk files if you installed nothing that has to do with your addon's Brett's advice can’t hurt one bit; to be on the safe side acceleration already has SP2 as part of it; you don’t need to apply SP2 again just run the acceleration setup and you will be good to go when it’s done Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I found FSX Gold + Acceleration at a local Fry s store. (Nice that there is still a place to buy FS soft and hardware...so many places carry nuttin but mmorpg/fps/gangsta games.) Acceleration required uninstalling sp2...then it installed without a hitch. I LOVE the new heli that came with Accel...and the new R66 is working great now. Link to post Share on other sites
