What our customer's say!

"not worth it", its not that much fun for the money,
planes are not that great so save your money and get XPLANE!!!

"FSX Acceleration?", I want to know and be honest,nwhy in the world i have a brand new dell computer and install just fine the FSX as fast as a bullet and when i try to install the FSX Acceleration does not work at all, can i return this product or i just lost my money and time?

"Good but not great", You do get what you pay for. Overall I am satisfied with this program. The extra adventures are a natural extension of where fsx leaves off. Some of the extra aircraft are good some are not. You do not get a 2-D instrument panel on the P-51 or the F-18 in fact the only instrumentation that works at all on the F-18 is the HUD. It looks like another Microsoft rush to get it on the market before Christmas and fix the problems later. I am very dissappointed with not having a 2-D panel (the only panel view you have is the virtual cockpit view).

"Great addon for FSX", I got this for Christmas. Its great! The carrier landing tutorial is hard, and the slingload thing is nearly impossible, but the new planes and new missions are awesome! I would recommend this to anyone.

"Program is a LEMON", Got Acceleration for Christmas and it fails to load. It does do a real good job at locking up my computer forcing a manual shutdown. I had the same problem loading FSX but finally got it working after 4 days. I don't know what it is with Microsoft but they are turning out inferior products. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"awful, buggy, should have waited until after first update", such a piece of junk. as an fsx expert, i expected to have to uninstall and reinstall most everything. but this is ridiculous. uninstalled and reinstalled 12 times. had to reinstall fsx and fsx/sp1. sometimes acceleration won't even install due to direct x incompatibility. awful product. even Microsoft should be ashamed. don't buy it until they release the inevitable "update" which is really a patch which should have been included. I agree with the reviewer who thought he knew better and other complainers were just newbies...don't make that mistake.

" Caveat Emptor - Bring a Parachute - Save Often ( ; )", I chalked up the bad reviews to bone headed users and bought this...but I apologize, I was wrong and they were right after all. It's no fun at all if it won't work.

It installed with no issues. It fired up with no issues. Then random crashes sometimes 5 minutes into it, sometimes 15 minutes into it sometimes 30 seconds into it. Get the picture? FSX is now virtually unplayable on my rather high end system (3.0 core2 quad - 4GB RAM - 8800GTS 640 - 680i mobo, etc and running just fine before this, thank you very much). I thought they were on the right track after SP1 which was great (they should have waited until this was ready for the initial release). But this? FSX Accelerator! If I was an attorney...

Oh and dx10? A joke. I defy anyone to tell the difference between 9 and 10 to the naked eye (that is if you can get it to go for 5 minutes before it crashes. It doesn't look like the "artists rendition" we were all led on by. Trust me, you will be extremely disappointed.

I hope they stop socking each others ducks at Aces and Microsoft and get to work. Tell them to do their bloody job for heavens sake and stop stealing our money. Don't by this. Wait.

***UPDATE*** ***UPDATE***

All of a sudden FSX Accelerator started working properly. I have been able to fly for the last 2 days. Unfortunately I don't know why since I have changed nothing hard or soft and Microsoft updates 11/13 were already installed.

So far I like what I see though if I did not know DX10 was functioning I wouldn't have noticed, so that's still a disappointment.

Some of the missions now have cool little intro movies and most importantly my frame rates have not been hurt though I don't exactly see any improvement there either.

So I would move this up to 3 stars now and remove my warning. If things stay stable, maybe... well, we'll see. I can't give it 5 because of the DX10 and frame rate promises. No doubt idiot marketers hype as usual. When will they learn?



"Acceleration May Slow You Down", First off - I am a huge Flight Simulator fan and have been for many years. With that said, this is a bit of a disappointment. I did not get any of the installation errors that others have reported. However, after installing Acceleration, the video quality of Flight Simulator dropped significantly. Before I was getting 30-40 FPS with very smooth motion. After "Acceleration", the graphics are just choppy - still getting the same frame rates, but panning the view around the aircraft now causes the graphics to move in steps rather than the fluid motion before. This is true not just on Acceleration content, but on all FSX content. Not sure what the installer did, but it wasn't good. Hopefully a patch or update from Microsoft will address this.

"Install Failure", Expansion pack won't install - says it requires FSX to be installed first. It is. I can be flying a plane in FSX, and the Expansion Pack Installer says FSX isn't installed. The support rep did say they have been getting a lot of calls from people who are having problems installing the expansion pack...
____________________
Support Update: It's now December, and after a month of working directly with Microsoft Games Support, the problem appears to be caused by running 64 bit Vista Ultimate on an Intel Core 2 Quad processor. The base game, Flight Simulator X, does not install properly, and the expansion pack can't find it. I tried a single cpu system, running XP, and everything installs and runs fine, including the expansion pack.
When you install FSX, if the install screen says "IDS_WELCOME" and "IDS_CONTINSTALL" you've got a problem. Another symptom of a bad install is if the Add/Remove Program screen in Control Panel says "PRODUCT_NAME" instead of "Flight Simulator X". Microsoft does not appear to have a fix yet for the installer failure on 64 bit Vista. XP works fine.

"Great Carrier Traps (with practice)", Purchased with idea that carrier ops would be better than FA-18, Electronic Arts, but found that aircraft is very unstable with slight control inputs particularly disconcerting on final. (Actual flying has to be more stable than this jiggling/rocking back and forth.) Also could use larger virtual cockpit fonts for AS, VSI and ALT. It could be that my Sidewinder stick does not mesh or that the Dell notebook graphics card (Radon 9000?) does not have enough throughput for the program. Also, Sidewinder "trim" buttons do not seem to work. When you do "trap" it is nice. Graphics are great. Just wish I could fix the stability problem. I have worked with the control sensitivity but that does not seem to help. May have to upgrade my equipment. Anyone with suggestions please do. Thanks. It would also be nice to have a small frame at the left of the screen so that I do not have to "pan" left to see the boat. Tom S+10 THIS PROGRAM IS A KEEPER!
