You can painlessly update with the Acceleration disk Wink

I also bought the standard edition and was disappointed that the Acceleration expansion was needed to get the FA-18 Angry

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

So this will basicly update you to the "Gold" edition right? Also thanks for the reply.

Yes

Are you sure about that? Does Acceleration include the extra aircraft featured in FSX Deluxe? What about the SDKs?

PS. The F/A-18 is part of Acceleration & not included with FSX Deluxe. I suspect you could get a copy of FSX Gold edition cheaper than the Acceleration package. http://astore.amazon.com/simviation00-20/detail/B001DPZE84

I know that the FA-18 is Acceleration.....isn't that what I said?

And yes, Acceleration includes ALL aircraft and the SDKs:

I still think FSX Gold would be would be a better option & probably cheaper.

Not really. It still implies that the F/A-18 is included with FSX Deluxe which it isn't. Tongue

OK, I accept that - providing Acceleration is still available.

I'll read it as many times as you like Chuck. It still reads the same.

By mentioning the Standard Edition you implied that the F/A-18 is included with Deluxe.

Never mind, this is a silly argument & not helping anyone. Wink

From your own link Chuck:

Quote:

One of the bugs, that occurs only in the Standard Edition, is the Maule Air Orion aircraft used in the mission has missing gauges and other problems, as it is a Deluxe Version-only aircraft.

In addition, Acceleration does not include the whole SDK, just an update to it:

The Accel adds nothing on the SDK... I had FSX Standart and Acceleration and the Accel SDK didn't work on itself. ACES says that the Accel SDK is the whole thing, but it isn't more than an update....

After all this I went and dug out my FSX box and it is actually the Deluxe version Undecided

Undecided

I was under the impression that I started with FSX Standard and added Acceleration. But in actaulity I had Deluxe to begin with and then added Acceleration.

So, in fact, I do not know what I'm talking about. Please disregard my ramblings Cheesy

Then it seems safer (abit a few dollars more and a reinstall) just to go ahead and buy FSX Gold then. Owell could be worse, thanks fellas.

Everyone makes mistakes. Thanks to Andy for clearing this up. I knew something didn't seem right. Glad I poked my nose in now. Cool

Yes, that's what I would do. If you hunt around I'm sure you can pick up FSX Gold for a reasonable price.
