• 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 [Solved] Stuck on "Preparing to Install"

So, I recently did a refresh of my FSX install, which included un/reinstalling accel and uninstalling SDK. I have FSX Accel. I installed the RTM first, then the SP1a SDK, both successfully. Now, when I try to install the Accel one (Accel disk, SDK folder), it gets infinitely stuck on "Preparing to Install". I'm running Win7, Intel core i3, 4GB RAM. Side note: I do have FSX Steam Edition installed. Any ideas on how to get past it?

I had the problem recently after a SSD failure, that parts of the SDK would not install from the DVD. So I copied the corresponding files to Desktop and installed from there. Maybe try that?

Cheers :)
