With new missions and new planes, this is a great add-on. Being a military jet enthusiast, the carrier missions are a great change of pace to flying or racing.

Not only does the FSX Acceleration add-on contains three new aircraft, along with several new missions, it also installs (SP1) Service Pack 1. (SP1) was designed to address some of the flaws and slow frame-rate within FSX. The addon contains a single DVD disc and the installation is easy and takes about 15 minutes to load.
I really like the new aircraft. However, the F-18 and the EH-101 helicopter don't contain 2D cockpits. However, both of course have the smaller VFR and 3D panels. I haven't flown all of the new missions, but they appear to be very exciting. Also, they added the Reno Race missions, for the P-51, if your into racing aircraft, and carrier landings and catapults with the F-18.
Overall it's a great add-on for what you get. The Service Pack, the 3 new planes, and of course the added missions, makes it a economical buy.
There we some problems during the installation due to a flawed installation of the Flight Smiluator X. I had to remove the software completly from my Vista Machine and do a clean boot, then re-install the software. It is somewhat long and tedious, but is working just fine.
Highly recommend to do a clean boot when installing this software, disabling the Norton 360 and all other computer protection programs that might be running.
yes the graphics are good but why make a sim with only a handfull of aircraft.The online sucks, you can only find a few servers that are open too the public. Dont waste your money here..
This game adds more of a fun element to Microsoft Flight Simulator X. I Love the Aircraft Carrier missions. The Red Bull courses are kindof hard, but it is more fun being able to do them multi player. Overall it is a great game, and worth the cheaper price tag.
It adds a lot of stuff to FSX. Carrier launches with catapult, military missions, rescue mission etc, the graphics look like real life, not CGI, only downside is you need an upgraded video car and lots of RAM.
