Service Pack 2 / Acceleration???

[mykoolbuble]

Just a quickie for a newbie....

I am trying to install one of my Aircraft (after deleting my own version of FSX and buying this one for smoother gameplay - which is it, MUCH lol) - BUT, when I try to install it the installer says I need to have SP2 or Acceleration for it to install - I thought FSX Steam Edition did include this? No?
Any help greatly appreciated as the Aircraft I want to install is my favourite one to fly. I have installed my Caranedo Cessna Skyhawk no problem, but this Quality Wings 757 won't install because of this error.

Thanks in advance..

Tony.

Same problem bro :/

the developers that made your aircraft need to add a patch or an update to make it compatible. i have a quality wings 757 add on pack that wont work because the developers said they havent added an update to it and dont know when that will be. But, i have another Quality wings 146 BAE full pack edition that does work. So it just depends. Go to your planes forum and look around.

Try to put your aircraft setup into FSX Steam folder, and then launch it.

Hi guys

Thanks so much for your replies, it's making more sense now. Someone seems to think I'm having a hissy fit lol - I am not !! All I wanted to know was why it wasn't working and if it was ME doing something wrong... bit of a disappointment though as my QW product that I've paid for is just sitting there useless now (as I don't have the original version of FSX) - they should get their act together really, everything else works super duper on Steam.... I'll just have to master my landing of the 747 win 36knot crosswinds :) - oh, and I still don't have a joystick, I fly them all perfectly well using the keys.... try it if you've not done so before, it takes some practice.
Thanks again everyone ... and Happy New Year to all... here is the QW comment should anyone be interested to know and be in the same position:


<<Hello.

My first post here. I recently picked up a copy of the Steam Version of FSX and was wondering if your products will support it soon. I have both your 757 and 146 planes. The Steam version looks to have better frame rates than my DVD copy of FSX but your software does not let me change where I can pick a different location to install FSX. I have the both versions of FSX installed.

Thanks>>

As of right now we are not able to support FSX: Steam Edition as we've not had a chance to thoroughly review and test our products on this platform. Once we are satisfied everything works as expected we will look into updating installers etc. We have no ETA on that unfortunately.??>>

FSX Steam Edition has all Service and Acceleration Pack updates built in. I downloaded Thomas Ruth's A340 which needs Service pack. It was an epic win.

Well, hopefully these folks figured the Service Pack issue sometime in the past 3 1/2 months :)
