    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

FSX & Acceleration Install questions

A friend of mine is going to install FSX & Acceleration. It's been forever since I installed FSX, so am trying to provide help for him. He has internet, but only with his phone tethered to his PC.

Anyway, so if I have the process correct, he should:

Install FSX, then SP1, then SDK. Run FSX for a short flight at least. Shut down.

Install Acceleration, then SDK from Acceleration?

Pete, does he have FSX GOLD boxed or are these separate installs. The reason I ask is I just installed FSX yesterday on my new PC and I have Gold boxed and the SP1 and SP2 updates are included with Acceleration on my version.

Duckie's right: no need to install either SP's as they are part of Acceleration.

Cheers,

Thanks all. Much appreciate your help! Once he gets FSX and Acceleration installed and working, I am trying to explain to him how to install SDK. But I need to make sure which version of FSX he has, because I understand that does make a difference. I will report back on his progress. Thanks again. NC

P.S. I hope to get him to join SOH too! He retired from Grumman maintenance.
 
I recently had to reinstall after obtaining Win 10 when my Win 7 got scrambled. The main problem was when installing Acceleration to my FSX Deluxe. I ran into the.....8405 error and couldn't validate the installation. Venturing into the Registry cured that. I am finding Win 10 challenging after using Win 7, still that's Microsoft.
