No. MS has the core product. They could care less, and rightly so, about
the thousands of 3rd party add-ons. They fix their product and the 3rd
party folks have to work with it.

UTX USA is not a 'thousands of addons'. It is as I assume one most popular
package of em all.
BTW dreamfleet 727 aircraft stopped working too, FSX now just terminates
abruptly.

One way or another it is just not a correct approach to force you into any
re-installs etc after installation of something named 'service pack'. i
wasted some time on it I would rather spend differently.

You can't be serious. You design a widget. I design a widget that works
with yours... mine actually requires your widget to function properly.
Three other people design 3 other widgets that also require your widget to
function.

So now you change your widget. Works damn nice.

Now you only have to get the 4 other add on widgets (only 4 here) and
re-work your product so the only 4 other widgets known to man will still
function.

I don't think so. In fact I think you would not rework your widget for even
1 other add on widget... even if your mother did it.

That's what I think.

Must be that d*&%^ MS and their abominal FSX program!!
You would think they would at least, have re-written/updated UTX for their
SP2 update...

I don't think I have ever heard nor experienced any s/w which has given so
many problems as FSX does and I've been doing this since '83. I htink it
was FS2K which was a bit flakey if memory serves, but FSX takes the biscuit.
I finally got mine running so-so (and I have a fairly powerful system Q6600
CPU, 4Gb RAM, ATi 1950GTX card) but I rarely fire it up as FS9 gives a much
more pleasurable experience. SP2 I found actually slowed frame rates so I
went back to SP1. I never went down the Accelerate path.

I have similar rig, q6600 overclocked at 3ghz, 8gb ram, x64 2003 MS Windows
server, 8800GTS Nvidia card.

FSX runs at 18-20 fps at top, over airport and complex cities - 12-14 fps
top, with extremely dense scenery and dense autogen.
I also have traffic sim installed, btw, may be it adds up to general
slowliness.
