FSX Acceleration: help for those having issues

Hi folks I just want to share with you those that maybe having issues.

# First of I have XP Pro SP1 and fully patched along with all Firmware/Driver updates for my rig.

# Next I also run a mean rig meaning it's clean of all crap and well maintained.

# Uninstall all crap related to FSX by that I mean all your addons and programs then uninstall FSX it's self.

# Reboot

# Go to the Registry and delete any left over folders and files you can find.

# Go to Windows Explorer and delete all left over files and folder in.....

C\Program Files\Microsoft Games.... Delete "Microsoft Flight Simulator X" Folder

C\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Microsoft.... Delete FSX Folder

C\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft.... Delete "FSX" Folder

Start\My Documents\.... Delete "Flight Simulator X Files" Folder

# Run a program called "CCleaner" and click both the "Cleaner & Registry" tabs to finish up the washing of dirty laundry.

# Reboot

# Install FSX disk 1 and when it loads down the bottom click the more options tab before doing anything else and untick launch/readme or anything else you don't need then continue to install.

# When asked insert disk 2 and click Ok.

# When finished do not launch the game but go straight into installing SP1 PATCH and again do not launch the game.

# When SP1 is installed insert your FSX Acceleration disk and again install but do not launch the game. Once this is complete take your disk out and reboot.

# Now launch the game and you will be greeted with a screen to enter your Product Key. (DO NOT ENTER YOUR "FSX" Product Key) Enter your new FSX Acceleration Product Key but ensure you have a internet connection.

When Billy boy has intruded on your PC and seems to be happy that your legit it will finish. Another screen will pop up asking for you to allow the new keys be assigned because of the addon. (Just click yes to elevate any problems)

If you have gotten this far congrats because this is how I did it for a trouble free install and launch of FSX with the new Expansion Pack. I haven't even tweaked anything yet and everything works as it should so far with no issues. I got about 4-6 FPS increase on stock settings so once I add all my tweaking and programs that make FSX run better anyway things should improve further but we will see.

Well for those that have been whining clean up your PC and give this a try it was flawless in my case.

EDIT: Forgot don't drag over your old files and dump in the folders take your time and setup new ones with this clean install and start from scratch I'm sure many of the issues are because of trying to use old files.......... Your choice if you do but I didn't I reprogrammed everything so that may have helped in a trouble free launch.
