FSUIPC 4.25 for SP1?

[Alias]

HI Pete,

just curious to know since I have to make a clean installation of FSX, I'd like to know if the new version got good results with FSX SP1 too.

I will not install SP2 because of some graphic problems.

Thanks

Yes, it should do -- all versions. I originally did the smoothing developments on Acceleration, thinking foolishly that they would then work fine on SP2 -- but I was wrong. SP2's simulation engine turned out to be more like SP1's, and very different from Acceleration, even though it had a later build number!

So, I had to spend time to work out how to do it on SP2 separately. Having done that it was easy to apply it not only to SP1 but also to the original RTM code, all very similar.

To check that I've actually succeeded, look at the start of the FSUIPC4.LOG file after starting FSX with 4.25 installed. It should say that Wind Smoothing is fully installed -- before it would have only been partial.

Regards

Just some added info concerning SP1 and the betas, Ive been working alot this week and was still stuck on 4.241. Ive noticed a huge difference with the Level-D Aircraft. Managed 2 flights with absolutley no problems with the auto pilot going bonkers. Good performance too with Wilco 737's flying thru some major weather. BTW Im using ASX for the weather not the stock FSX weather.

going to install 4.25 now and try a trans atlantic flight.

Thanks Pete!!! :D
