Does Prepar3D support FsX Acceleration?

Says it all really, lol. In other words do add-ons that work best (or only work) with FsXA work in P3D?
 
I think so. I believe Acceleration (aka SP2) were the basis for their enhancements, sort of an SP2 Plus :)
 
Put simply yes.

All the extra variables etc. that Acceleration added are in P3D, and carrier ops function exactly as in FSX with Acceleration.
 
I worry that it would slow down P3D. When I loaded Acceleration into FSX way back when (same computer) it slowed down FSX moderately.
 
I wonder why my computer had such a problem with Accel. Man, I just hate it when things will not run on my rig...

It's not Acceleration that caused this, it was the "SP2" part inside Acceleration.
In fact, Acceleration is just SP2 with some modifications to the flight models (for supersonic flights) and some additionnal features like carrier operations, piston engine damage etc... Installing SP2 instead of Acceleration would have had the exact same effects on the performance of your computer.

Thanks Daube for the explanation. Ahhh, updates... ACK!


This time around, for some reason, I had to install update 2 in order to get the planes to show correctly (addon planes) in FSX. Same computer, same OS, and this time I needed SP2. Why? arrgh... And no worries. I now have P3D with continuous enhancement.
