FSX Help!

[NeilPearson]

Since smith had the decency to show us that awesome video i thought i would install FSX again.

Well fuck me.

Disc 2 has somehow been scratched to fuck and It wont read on any drive i have. (also found now my laptop doesnt even recognise its dvd player) I took it to video ezy and they cleaned it up alot but there is a huge mark on it still. When i install it comes up with an error about not being able to find the files. Also tried to copy the files over manually to my HDD but nothing.

Cant find any decent torrents online only FSX Delux game i found is going at an amazing 3kb/s. which will have it done next millenium. oh wait it went upto 4.3 kb/s. so next decade.
i havent tried microsoft because knowing them id have to pay 30 bucks or soemthing stupid to get a replacement cd.

So this is what im asking, anyone with Flight Simulator X deluxe Edition willing to copy me a disc 2 and post it to me? Will Pay for postage costs etc. I only need disc 2, disc 1 is fine. dont know how that works but whatever.

edit, i went to MS website for support, and they fucking want $45 for me to just CALL THEM. GET FUCKED you assholes.

Hey Neil, I have Disc 2, but not sure how to create an image from it (can't do it with Nero - won't make an iso). Any ideas? Happy to help.

Can't find my FSX discs, can find acceleration though

[smithcorp]

I found something called PowerISO that seems to be making an iso of the disc now. I guess I can burn it onto a DVD and send it to you if it works - PM me your address.

Looks like great success! I'll post tomorrow when I get your address.

Hehehe, i went through my big box of games that are still in the original packaging. No FSX. Picked up Acceleration and heard something moving about and the old thought "Oh shit the disc is loose and scratched to all fuck" hit me.

Open up, and there's FSX inside in its little wallet .

[NeilPearson]

w00h! thanks Smith!

lol r8, least you found it

[r8response]

Might get a nicko and write FSX INSIDE

the thing that pisses me off is that both discs were in the little jacket :\

I've still gotta get Acceleration. I bought an F-14 last year and have never been able to properly launch it from a carrier.

[NeilPearson]

Good luck finding acceleration i been trying to find it for ages now.

and smith, thanks mate i got it and it works!

Yeah I know I keep looking everytime I go past a store just in case but to no avail. FSX is still on the shelves everywhere but no acceleration.

[r8response]

Im sure you could aquire a copy

[NeilPearson]

Cant even get FSX here except for the GOLD edition which has Acceleration in it, but its $99 and im not paying for a game i already own.

No r8 i tried that. The crack that came with it didnt work so i only got like 30 mins flight time. it needs to be activated online with a cd key

its easier to crack windows than a game. Go figure

[smithcorp]

These guys have Acceleration - reliable place I've often used:

The FTX boys have decided to give away the Tasmanian section of the AU BLUE pack for free.

It can be had from HERE right at the bottom of the page

These will give you an idea of what to expect

[NeilPearson]

Well when i started this thread i took my disc 2 to video ezy (dvd rental place dunno if there australia wide) and asked them to clean it, they couldnt so sent it away somewhere. I got it back today. talk about fail.

Got a few free rentals out of it however. so thats a bonus. aswell as smiths cd to play it when i wanted to!

[Exar Kun]

I can't get FSX to load on my new PC. Everything was fine but then I installed the Acceleration pack which I finally got around to grabbing online and now when it boots it says unrecognized graphics card. New Catalyst drivers came out today so i mght give them a go on the weekend and see how things are. I want to see 3 screens + dx10 candy!

Umm never heard of this issue before but I am wondering if your fsx.CFG has got corrupt in someway.
Maybe delete the fsx.CFG file (make a copy first of course), FSX will re-build it again next time you start it.
If you need to find your fsx.CFG file just type %APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX\ into a windows explorer location bar.

Neil, there is currently a great deal on the FSX Gold Edition (Deluxe & Acceleration Exp Pack) from Mighty Ape in NZ.

If you don't already have the Acceleration Pack this might be a good option as the overall cost is close to that of Acceleration alone.
I have used Mighty Ape several times with no issues. They have also just opened an Aussie site http://www.mightyape.com.au" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
