Need help ! Before I started the Add on quest I had downloaded SP 2. Ran it went from my Windows 10 general download folder thru set up...... Thought all was good. Added airport scenery design. Made a couple of airports. Now I want to get on vATSIM.... Can not get it to start up. Asked answered from another site stating I need SP2. Sher enough when I start FSX. Load up a flight, Click on Help, about FSX and SP1 Shows up. Tried a complete un install of FSX. Advanced system care 12 for some reason did not remove all FSX files. Went back to good restore point. Removed SP2 from the computer and reinstalled, ran setup and still showing SP1. Question... Am I on the right track, If so whats a good un installer to remove FSX, are there any ideas im missing ? THANKS !

Many of our members have used this.

You leave hidden folders, files and registry lines just by deleting yourself, this helps.

I used the features programs from WIN 10 control panel. Was able uninstall all, FSX, SP1,2 etc. Did a complete install of FSX and then reinstalled SP1, then SP2. Again all seemed to install right but only SP1 shows up in the About of FSX... I clicked on the download from the download page. Windows 10

The Acceleration Pack contains SP1 and Sp2 so as you load it both are seamlessly integrated into FSX.
It originally sold in the stores for $29.95...if I remember correctly.

You can also find it on eBay.
