What order to install addons

Postby dido41 » Wed Jan 20, 2010 5:45 pm

I have a few newbie questions if one of you fine gentlemen would care to me out on this. I have both FSX Deluxe, Acceleration pack. And also Ultimate Terrain X, Flight Environment X and Ground Environment X.

What would be the best sequence to install the add on pack?
Also about the default flight. Is that the fly now option with the ultra light when you first start the sim and you just click fly now then close and reboot?

Thanks

First of all, before any other add ons, install the Acceleration Pack.

And read these very useful guides. http://205.252.250.26/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaB ... 1197380641

as for the default flight, you can pick what airplane/helo (craft) you want to be in, airport, weather, time of day and such, then click on SAVE FLIGHT.

SAVE AS "UI GENERATED - DEFAULT" this should save it as your default flight and not the Ultralight flying over Friday Harbour.

does it matter in what order they should be installed?

and by clicking on fly now with the Ultralight flying over Friday Harbour the way to boot into the default flight?

The ultra lite is actually the default flight. Fire up the sim and go to the fly now screen with the ultra lite. Now click on change aircraft and change to your favorite, then you change whatever else such as airport. Pick an airport and parking position or a runway.

I would like to thank the guys that responded to my post. Loading up to my personal default flight will be helpful.

Here is how I recently did it:

Install Ultimate Terrain USA...then patched it, one patch at a time.
