Installing MS FSX SP1 and 2

[michaeljulian]

I am told I have to install SP1 and SP2 to add on certain aircraft etc. However when I go to load SP1 they ask me to re install FSX . My FSX Steam edition is on disks but my current computer  has no disk facility. The old one has been destroyed. Any suggestions as to how I get round this problem?

FSX Steam is a download from the Steam Store.  How is yours on disc?  FSX-SE contains Acceleration and does not need SP1 and SP2.  Is there a verson of FSX now on your computer, if so what is it?

Mrzippy is correct and so it sounds like you're not really clear on what exactly you have there.

 

Here's a thought...how much is your time worth? Currently a brand new copy of FSX Steam is about $25 and with that you get all the latest upgrades and don't need to deal with SP1 and SP2. Maybe spending $25 is a better solution that taking all the time it will take to figure out and install what you have now.

Thanks guys. Yes I now recall that it was a box with a code inside and after rummaging around I found it. I can now try to go back to square one. Thanks again.
