The aircraft are the F-18 Hornet carrier-based jet fighter, the venerable P-51 WWII fighter in an air racing configuration, and the AgustaWestland EH-101 helicopter. There are three new aircraft available, and a collection of missions to go with them. My assumption was that any expansion pack for FSX would include not only new aircraft, but new missions as well. There are some things that fall into the category of “Well, it’s about time,” and some that fall into “WTF?” In one notable case, both of those answers apply.Īs noted in my initial review of FSX, one of the more compelling enhancements was the new Missions system, whereby the success or failure of missions would actually be tracked.
As you’ll see as you read further, the answer to that question is mixed. With that in mind, I thought it would be very interesting to see what kind of additions Microsoft would be offering in the Flight Simulator X: Acceleration expansion package, and even more interestingly, how the additional features would compare to what is available for free.
#FLIGHT SIMULATOR X ACCELERATOR SOFTWARE#
Third party airplane designers have all of the tools they need to create very high-end products, and Microsoft enables that practice by including the Software Development Kit (SDK) with the Deluxe version of the retail FSX package. Anyone having both Microsoft Flight Simulator X and a reasonably decent internet connection knows that FSX is almost infinitely expandable, and if you’re willing to spend the time separating the wheat from the chaff with regards to downloaded add-ons, a lot of really good stuff is available for absolutely no cost.
