After installing the FSX SDK for FSX Acceleration I did not get a tools menu so I checked the dll.xml in the FSX application data folder, it only included the code added for FSUIPC. Later I was able to find a working dll and I copied it in and pasted the paths for SDK tools. Shortly later the sim started having big problems so I reinstalled it. Is it possible that this happened because I installed the Acceleration expansion pack before installing the FSX RTM? This is the code I found: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='Windows-1252'?> <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>dll.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad> <Launch.Addon> <Name>Object Placement Tool</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>F:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Mission Creation Kit\object_placement.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>Traffic Toolbox</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>F:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Traffic Toolbox SDK\traffictoolbox.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>Visual Effects Tool</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad> <Path>F:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Special Effects SDK\visualfxtool.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> <Launch.Addon> <Name>FSUIPC 4</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> I did change the paths to make them accurate for my installation.

I tried the latest update yesterday. I got an message: Error 0x80073CF9. The game never updated. Now it just stops at the TBM intro screen and plays that awful "earworm" music. After 20 minutes waiting for an update to start, I turned the PC off. I bought a new PC for this game by iBuyPower (BestBuy) with Windows 10 and a Nvidia graphics card. I don't know why, but EVERYTIME they do an update to this game, it takes me several days to get the installation to work. sj -
I've got about 6 hours flying time in so far on the new version and thus four to 5 times that learning the new interface. And so far only two CTDs both during initial loading. The actual installation took about two hours and I was barely able to fly within an hour of starting the game and immediately impressed with the visuals. But what is driving me crazy is learning all the new methods of configuring including what's missing, what works, and what doesn't. And one of the things that doesn't work is my n52 speedpad2 which I added to the configuration to give me more buttons to go along with my Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick. The Options-Controls menu worked very well configuring my joystick but doesn't seen to work with the speedpad. It's listed as the fourth item along the top of the Controls, after keyboard, mouse, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick, and then the Nostromo n52 Speedpad, but every attempt I've made to configure it fails in that I cannot specify anything different than the default key assignments for it. The configure options in MSFS only list a button number from 1 to 20, no option for the scroll wheel or d-pad and no matter how I assign the buttons they either have no effect or exhibit behavior associated to the default out-of-the-box values from the factory. And this happens even after I use the separate speedpad configuration utility to pre-assign the key sequences for each button to those MSFS should use for the functions I want. But in the game they never exhibit the desired behavior except that coming from the default key assignments - as though there is no real option to configure the speedpad - yet. So I'm thinking this is a "feature" meaning they haven't got around to actually implementing this yet and although they allow you to go through the act of configuring it's really a non-operation. Does this sound about right? Has anyone been able to configure a separate keypad in addition to a joystick? And meanwhile, I pay the price for not preparing better. I thought I'd just upgrade my equipment - but all of you people who did prepare bought up the worldwide inventory of the better yoke and throttle kits and none are available until late September, or October, or November. Oh well! -
I have ordered Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 for PC. It will be available for download on the 18th of August. It needs 150 Gb of space on disk. I wonder if it will be possible to install it on any disk or on the C:-drive only. I have limited free space on C: (40GB), but a lot of free space on E: or F:... Please advise. -
Hello everyone I had FSX Gold with accel pack on an ext disk that unfortunately crashed. I deleted every FSX key there was in the registry and every FSX related folder in the AppData/Roaming and ProgramData folders. I also cleaned the registry with various programs (e.g. ccleaner, ASC) Now I have been trying to reinstall FSX on a new ext disk but.... in vain. I keep getting the "repair or remove" screen instead of the familiar installation screen and whichever option between repair/remove I choose, I get the 1610 (or the 1628) error informing me about the corrupt installation data. I have been looking for a solution for 3-4 days, employed quite a few, but none worked.... If anyone has any ideas, or if anyone has faced and solved the same problem, you are more than welcome to chip in. Thank you very much. Vassilis PS I am attaching the verbose log of the setup.exe file in case someone finds it useful http://users.sch.gr/hartzoulakis/log.zip
