Zoals de naam al zegt gaat het hier om service pack nummer 2 voor Flight Simulator X. Voordat deze geïnstalleerd wordt moet wel eerst service pack 1 geinstalleerd worden. Daarnaast is het installeren van SP2 niet nodig in combinatie met Flight Simulator X: Acceleration. Daarentegen moet SP2 verwijderd worden voordat Acceleration geïnstalleerd kan worden. Hieronder is nog wat te lezen over dit serivce pack:
Flight Simulator X Service Pack 2 addresses these post-release customer concerns:
• Multiplayer compatibility with Flight Simulator X: Acceleration
• DirectX 10 preview
Service Pack 2 Installation Notes:
• After you install Service Packs 1 and 2, do not reinstall Service Pack 1.
• If install SP2 and later purchase Flight Simulator X: Acceleration, you must uninstall SP2 before installing Acceleration.
• If you install Flight Simulator X on a computer running the 64-bit Vista operating system, the Setup progress bar may not indicate progress during the installation. The program still installs correctly on this operating system.
• It may appear that the progress bar is paused for a long time during DirectX installation. The installation is actually progressing but the Setup program does not indicate the progress.
• When the time expires in demo mode after installing Flight Simulator X plus Acceleration or the service packs, attempting to activate the product may result in a dialog box that appears to be frozen. Press ALT+TAB to bring the active window to the front to continue product activation.
• If you have problems installing Flight Simulator X Service Pack 2, close all open software applications including antivirus software before running Setup.
