lefu Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 HI ! I have a fresh new windows 7 installation, family editionx64 reinstalled FSX (original deluxe version) SP1 and acceleration Thing is i cant activate and always get an error that the server could not be reached and it wont allow me to dial up either So FSX starts on demo mode without multiplayer mode. I've ran ccleaner, uninstalled and reinstalled the whole thing checked the UpperFilters key in registry, checked if UIAutomationCore.dll is installed checked compatibility and admin rights, all win7 updates are done, direct x9 is OK. FSX was ok before i installed acceleration so i guess it has nothing to do with FSX... Thanks for your help !

jorgen.s.andersen Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I am assuming that you have activated DeLuxe and then rebooted, before installing Acceleration? And, since SP1 is included in Acceleration, why bother with installing that? Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Set your time correctly in bios and then in Windows. Then try again. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il88pp Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Gold (or DeLuxe + Accel) is a box set and that's all you need. No need for sp1 or 2 if you have Accel. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgen.s.andersen Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Here's the sequence I have used when I have installed FSX, based on the information I gathered before installing the first time way back:: Install DeLuxe (the 2-disc set). At the end of the installation, you'll enter the free flight with the ultralight. Fly around for about 30 seconds or so, then end the flight. Reboot. Activate DeLuxe. Reboot again. Now install Acceleration (1 disc), when entering free flight again fly around for 30 seconds, then end the flight. Reboot. Activate Acceleration. Reboot again, and you are done.

Jorgen I also believe it is done that way :) But somehow, after shuting down my pc waiting for some windows update the message is gone and fsx is ok now :) In fact, besides this activation issue my FSX hasnt run this better on game or newer addons. Thanks ! problem solved.

Thanks ! problem solved. I've never rebooted the PC during installation but everything else, yes, as written above. After flying for 30+ secs (always try a quick landing since is there for the taking) just reboot FSX and continue installation to the bitter end.

il88pp Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I bought FSX deluxe edition when it first came out, then i bought acceleration pack a bit later. Gold has the exact same disks. Installing is the same as with Gold. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
