Excellent no hassel install off any FSX item , aircraft , scenery ( early days pre and post 'accell' SP1 -SP2 ) no problem .

OK missions ...yip .. i'm still to look here , just so many to play with .. typical

Carrier Operations , more stable in launch and arresting .. with paywares, a lot of fun !

Multiplay , no effort to join

Guest's and others add to their findings , all in all Xtra worth it smile.gif

Painless way of installing patches up to SP2.
If you have a vanilla FSX I'd have to ask: how's your simming experience, then?
Very little new stuff would still work in there I suspect.

Yeah and you get three Aircraft with it and extra objects that alot of designers are now using in missions and scenery ,now i reckon the three AC are worth the $50 alone

I fully agree with everybody so far - Accel is worth the money. I got it mainly because it gives me a greater range of gauges to tap into for my model designs. The F18 is great.

Just beware that you will lose all repaints that you've added to default aircraft. The repaints will still be there, but Acceleration does something to all the aircraft.cfg files which seems to restore them to how they were originally.

I wished I had backed up all my aircraft, but in the end took it as a good time to have a bit of a clean out.

I have noticed a slight increase in performance on my laptop.
