Video Game Reviews of Microsoft Flight Simulator X Acceleration Expansion
Customer Review: Great Carrier Traps (with practice)
Summary: 4 Stars
Purchased with idea that carrier ops would be better than FA-18, Electronic Arts, but found that aircraft is very unstable with slight control inputs particularly disconcerting on final. (Actual flying has to be more stable than this jiggling/rocking back and forth.) Also could use larger virtual cockpit fonts for AS, VSI and ALT. It could be that my Sidewinder stick does not mesh or that the Dell notebook graphics card (Radon 9000?) does not have enough throughput for the program. Also, Sidewinder "trim" buttons do not seem to work. When you do "trap" it is nice. Graphics are great. Just wish I could fix the stability problem. I have worked with the control sensitivity but that does not seem to help. May have to upgrade my equipment. Anyone with suggestions please do. Thanks. It would also be nice to have a small frame at the left of the screen so that I do not have to "pan" left to see the boat. Tom S+10 THIS PROGRAM IS A KEEPER!Customer Review: Install it right
Summary: 4 Stars
Do a clean install of FSX and then reboot. Then install your Acceleration pack. Do this especially if you have added any mods or tweaks. The new Acceleration pack takes full advantage of multiple core PCs and runs smooth as silk. Follow these steps and you will have a flawless install.Customer Review: Works for me!
Summary: 4 Stars
Installed on Vista w/ FSX Pro. No problems installing, setting up, or running. Love the F-18 and carrier ops. It would be nice to be able to lock and fire missiles, but it's a start. It will be interesting to see what they do with the next version. I'm guessing it's either a world built out of satellite imagery, or more combat. Either way works for me. Customer Review: Lots of sizzle-NO STEAK

When Msft comes out with service pack for this I am sure it will be a lot of fun.
However, do not mess up your install of Flight Simulator X with this code.
Buggy, poorly written code that does not mesh well with FSM X. Stick to the tried and true Msft Flight Simulators 2004 and X. Leave this one to the next service pack. I purchased software from store X who will not refund money without major stress. Will put up on shelf and hope for a better day tomorrow.
Customer Review: Fantastic Upgrade for Flight Simulator X
Summary: 5 Stars
Microsoft Flight Simulator X Acceleration ExpansionLet me begin by saying that I'm an FSX newbie. I have only the basic FSX installed and have had it for only around a month now. There's an old pilot's saying, "if God had wanted men to fly, He would have made them rich", and I'm a walking testament to the truth of that saying. I earned my license in 1987, but it was just too expensive a hobby for me to continue trying to fly. Having been playing with FSX for the past few weeks now, I'm thrilled to be back in the air! I thought that I had it pretty good before installing the acceleration pack. But that was before I had an F-18 at my beck and call. WOW!!! My installation of the acceleration pack went reasonably flawlessly and the improvement is fantastic. New aircraft, many new missions to fly, what a deal! Oh, and did I mention that an F-18 Hornet comes with the pack? It flys like a dream! My only complaint is that I haven't figured out how to navigate with it yet. Anyway, I couldn't be more thrilled with the acceleration pack and got my new copy for only $24 from one of the Amazon merchants.
