• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSX Acceleration SDK problem

Hi!
I've been trying for years to instal the FSX Acceleration SDK with no luck...
I followed every tutorial availble but when I run the sp1a instal on the acceleration dvd it says that I need the FSX deluxe sdk to be instaled... Shouldn't the accel sdk work as a stand-alone version?
Thank you for your time!

Xpand -
It should work.

Supposedly,
the fsx_sdk_sp1a.exe supplied on Acceleration
does not require RTM SDK to be present.

It was intended to be
an upgrade path for FSX Standard users.

Info source ACEs team members.



PS
Are you installing to the same PC as Acceleration ?

Yes, I am installing in the pc that has the FSX acceleration, but it still it doesn't work...
 
Hi Folks

Xpand -
All I can say is
we've been told that's how it's supposed to work.

You're not the first to say it doesn't,
and nobody yet has reported back a success.

The Accel SDK is an update, so needs the RTM version from the Deluxe DVD :rolleyes:
 
As Paul said, according to ACES to SP1A SDK on the Acceleration DVD should work without the RTM installed. This does not apply to the SP1A SDK versions that are downloaded. After that it should be possible to update to the SP2 from the Acceleration disk.

But no guarantee if it works, we would love to hear user feedback on that. Can't test myself, since I only have the Deluxe version and not the Standard.
 
Ok, thanks... I'll keep trying in my free time... I'll make sure to warn you if I should be successful!
 
Hi Xpand,

Did you manage to install the SDK from FSX Acceleration DVD finally?

I bought one recently (more than a year after your last message) expecting it to work, but it didn't. I get the same error messages about needing the SDK included in the FSX Deluxe edition.

Any suggestion to make it work will be appreciated. :)

Thanks in advance.
 
Just to clarify my situation...

First, I installed FSX Standard.

Then, I installed FSX Acceleration. Although I didn't installed FSX SP1 , it's supposed that FSX Acceleration does.

Afterwards, following the instructions I found on the wiki, I execute the FSX SDK SP1A installer from de FSX Acceleration DVD. In fact, I purchased my copy os FSX Acceleration through the web, but in any case I find SDK and SDK\SP1 folders once I decompress the package.

Finally, this is the error message I get:

"This service pack requires the original release of Flight Simulator (FSX) SDK, which you can find on Disk 1 of FSX Deluxe Edition. Please install this first by running Setup.exe in the Disk 1 SDK directory, and then start SDK SP1A installation."

Do I really need FSX Deluxe?

It's strange that although my FSX Standard & FSX Acceleration are in Spanish, the message is in English. Could that be an incompatibility?

Thanks for your help.

Alberto.
 
The RTM SDK is only available on the Deluxe DVD and is a prerequisite for updating to the Acceleration SDK.
