Damn, got a problem here.
So I took out all my addons, used to "Repair" option with FSX. Ran the service pack. It worked great, but many scenery areas were missing (Mainly regions like Northern Cali in which I had addon scenery installed and moved). After a sucessful test run, I move the folders back to the FSX folder, however this included the main texture folder and such, and therefor replaced files and screwed up FSX again.
Any advice?

Downloaded and installed it last night. Luckily my FSX doesn't have any addons so it was a simple install.
The difference is astonishing. Previously in high scenery density areas (London City, London Heathrow etc. the game simply wasn't worth playing with frame rates around 5 - 7 fps.
I now get 12 - 15 fps in the high density scenery bits and a solid 25 fps elsewhere. I've set the target fps to 25 as any faster just uses up processor power with no visible gain. I've also been able to up the scenery density to very dense, road traffic to 50% from 20% and AI to around 40%. To be honest, setting AI any higher means long queues to the runway, huge waits for clearances and numerous go - arounds due to the large amount of traffic.
My advice...Download and install NOW.
BTW, I'm running a 3.2 GHz P4 with 1Gb RAM and 512Mb ATI mid to high range card.If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !

I thought Microsoft should get a trophy for "Download of the Year".....
....until I wondered why they didn't release FSX like this in the first place !!
When I first got FSX I wished I hadn't, and I've got a reasonably powerful machine. The FSX discs got relegated to "The box where I keep software for a future new machine". They were a bit lonely in there because the box didn't have anything else in it !!
This download has totally transformed FSX and it is now my first flightsim of choice. To anyone else reading this I repeat, download it now.If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !
