• 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.

OK I didn't really read all the sdk troubleshooting, I got stuck in the beginning.

It said if you have fsx standard you do not get the sdk on the disk, but then I also installed the accelerator expansion and captain 757 too.

And it said that in the sdk folder on fsx accel do the sp1 and then sdk.msi.
I clicked on sp1 (24 minutes later, yes it did nothing for 24 minutes) it gave me an error message and said I need to first go to the sdk folder on fsx install that first then do sp1 (and then as per your instructions do sdk.msi right after). I checked my fsx disk and it doesn't have any folder called sdk and there is no sdk kind of name on any cab or installer at all on disk 1 or disk 2.

So what do I do? How do I get the sdk that is right for the standard fsx but not mess up accel's sdk installation.

I really really want to start making scenes and stuff but also if I have to uninstall and reinstall fsx again because of an error I will probably die of shock.
I want to make sure by ANY means necessary this will not turn into the 13th full uninstall with the hour long rip out registry thing and painstakingly ridiculousness that the other 12 were (plus reregister and reactivate I don't have 9 hours to spare doing all that again)

So can I just go to the sdk link and download another msi that will work as a bridge to install the sdk that is on the accel disk? Or do I just do sp1 and sdk.msi from the download page? Or do I need to find a link for the deluxe version of sdk?

I don't know if this helps but I have FSX from 2006 and it says part number 0606 Part No. X12-50244-01 on the box. I don't have the box for captain 757 and fsx accel because all the disks can fit in the FSX box and I just took the sticker out of the old box for those. And it says nothing about deluxe (besides deluxe I gather has a sdk folder and mine does not).
 
this is what is stated is the wiki here in Fsdeveloper
....Availability
The SDK is available in FSX Deluxe only, (not FSX Standard).
FSX Standard users can obtain the SDK, by purchasing and installing FSX Acceleration, (or FSX Gold - Contains both Deluxe & Acceleration).
Anyway you have to look for all the Sp of the Sdk.
Aceleration come with the msi and SP 2, You should not be worry about messing up Fsx, usually the Sdk intallation not iterfere with fsx and his performance. you can install and uninstall the Sdk every time you got a problem.
