MFS X-Deluxe
If it weren't for this acceleration package I'd still be going nuts trying to download the dam thing - 30 hours by modum, IF You're ISP don't shut You off before then, just to have the download fail to some "ERROR" from Microsoft Games Solutions..! As usual, the more Microsoft "Updates & Improves" their products the worse they get..! MFS 2002 is twice the game, I can even go land in local lakes around here, in Alaska, of at Ellis Iland or any where in the world..No Local Detail with X-Deluxe, Our local "Rock Creek Lake" isnt shown at all,as it is in MFS 2002 I'd trade the improved graphics to get the {Local Realism} back. I'm sure glad for this package, makes the X-Deluxe better - Fun Flying.! Yup. G-G

not worth it
its not that much fun for the money,
planes are not that great so save your money and get XPLANE!!!

Excellent addition to FSX!!!
I read all of the reviews posted here for this product....after I had just purchased it. A lot of them scared me because I remember having issues installing FSX. It was a nightmare. This, however, was not the case when installing the Acceleration expansion for FSX. It went flawlessly and then after install was complete, it started right up without any issues whatsoever. The new airframes are very nice and the missions are definitley challenging. I noticed that the dates on many of these Amazon reviews are fairly old. Maybe Microsoft has patched the expansion? I do believe some of the load issues deal with particular hardware people may be using. That seemed to be the case for me anyhow. No significant changes to my framerate or gameplay. The graphics look just as good as before I installed the expansion. These aircraft actually add some excitement to this game. Only thing is that when I do the missions, I feel like I'm listening to ghosts talk to me because you don't see the people who are speaking to you. This bugs me a bit but great program over-all. No comments on the DirectX 10 enhancements as I am still running 9 using 2- GeForce 7950s in SLi mode with 4g RAM.
