    Download FSX SP1 English

    And also download Flight Simulator X SP2 English

    After installing sp2, you'll be able to play it with directx 11 in windows 7.

    What about your UAC settings? What level UAC you have set? In my Windows 7 i have set it to the lowest level, i'm not sure if its really have anything to do with it, but FSX and the expansion pack both installed and run perfectly fine on my machine as well. You try it out once.

    Hi,

    I just upgrade Vista Home ==> Windows 7 Home Ed.

    I had a FSX + Acc and everything worked the first try, no problem with texture, I tested with full CDG traffic . It seems that the texture is better handled when the acceleration option DX10 in FSX, I have only a few models without texture.
