I would go as far as saying mandatory.  It includes a lit of stuff some addons need to function.

Mandatory might be a bit exagerated.
Basically, if you don't like the following stuff:
- military jets
- landing/takeoff from moving aircraft carriers
- sling operations with helicopters
- piston engines that can be damaged
- Reno-style aircraft racing
... then you probably don't need Acceleration and SP2 will be enough.

I agree with you Daube, Acceleration isn't mandatory. SP2 is because if you don't have that FSX Native planes don't work.

From what I read it seems like the person want reasons why Acceleration is better not just an ‘its mandatory cause its way better’ sort of thing.

And Dave add-ons for Acceleration Still work in SP2 it’s just some of the functions don't work.
