How do I get the SDK.

[Pontius the Pilot]

I've heard somewhere that the FSX SDk is on my FSX Gold Edition disks somewhere.

Does anyone know how I install the SDK without installing the somplete Gold edition?

Thanks.
Pontius.

I saw it out there somewhere a few months ago, but I didn't save the links. Google "Microsoft ESP SDK", and I think you'll find it available for D/L somewhere.

1. FSX must not be running.
2. Browse the FSX Deluxe Edition disk 1
3. Open the SDK sub-folder
4. Double-click the setup.exe
5. Tell it where to install

Default installation location is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK but many users DO NOT use the default location but make a new SDK folder away from the C:\Program Files folder

Now you need to install the SDK for FSX Acceleration Pack OR FSX Gold Pack:

1. Install the RTM SDK from FSX Deluxe Edition disk 1, (FSX Deluxe RTM users instructions above).
2. Insert your Acceleration Pack DVD.
3. Browse to the subfolder called SDK\SP1a\
4. Install the SDK SP1A from there using fsx_sdk_sp1a.exe, (dated 26/09/2007, size 165,569KB).
5. Browse to the folder called SDK\
6. Install the Acceleration SP2/XPack SDK using sdk.msi, (dated 06/10/2007, size 216,929KB).
