When installing FSX to a dedicated disc, are there any programs besides the UTX series that must be loaded onto the same drive? More specifically, where should I put terrain mesh and a program like REX?
NickN:
For those of you running FSX without Acceleration, here is a list to follow should you wish to clean install. It is the same routine as installing Accleration with a few differences:
1. Install RTM, fire up the sim and let it complete the install and boot the default flight.
2. Close the sim
If you have the Deluxe version and want the SDK installed, install it off the DVD now.
3. Reboot the computer
4. Install SP1. Boot the sim and allow it to complete the install and boot the default flight.
5. Close the sim
If you want the SDK install the SDK SP1a.
6. Reboot the computer
7. Install SP2. Boot the sim and allow it to complete the install and boot the default flight.
8. Close the sim
9. Reboot the computer
Make sure you have the latest DirectX installed.

Make sure you have the C++ library update installed.

(Many add-ons install this update now automatically. I believe Acceleration does too)
8. Start the sim, set up the sliders/checkboxes as you had them. Close the sim
9. Install your addons one at a time, reboot in between and make sure you have the updates for them.
DO NOT MIGRATE the FSX.cfg file you have!
Use it to copy/paste edits but do not overwrite the new file.
The best tweaks are now all in Windows setup and the correct use of O&O Defrag!
