[Solved]Problem installing fspassengers

[darrinward777]

Hello Ian,
I would recommend using the acceleration disc from your gold edition and installing it with the other deluxe version you are running on your home PC. If it is a good
copy then you should have a product key therefore it should allow the install. The Gold edition is basically the deluxe version combined with acceleration. That is why
you have three disc's with it. As far as all the add- on's assuming scenery, aircraft , and clouds, acceleration will improve the way they function, but you are right that
you should first have installed as follows:

First disc 1 and 2 then acceleration. Before putting add- on's in you should then tweak and run the program and by this I mean :
1) After installing Disc 1 and 2 : Run FSX for a few seconds in free flight mode
2) Install acceleration and again run a few seconds in free flight mode
3) Set your graphics in settings for the best performance, fps and graphics then leave the settings alone.( Make any future changes with the fsx.cfg folder)
4) put in the known tweaks that help FSX run on your system ( See my thread in FSX General FSX Fixes & Tips in cfg )
5) Start installing add-on's one at a time and run FSX after each add-on is installed.

I hope you can install acceleration without having to start over but on the other hand setting up FSX the correct way will have advantages in the way it operates and the
fun you can get out of it. Before attempting the acceleration install, back up all you can in separate folders on your 2 TB hard drive ( very smart to have ) Don't feel like
you are alone Ian, I can't tell you how many times I have had to re-install FSX and it is both a learning and frustrating experience.

Let us know how the acceleration install went
