Microsoft Flight Simulator X deluxe
OK, some (OK, the important bits
) of the below were blatantly copied from Crunk007 for which I give him credit and thanks. Only difference was he copied the files to a virtual drive whilst I burned them to DVD. I have tried to explain the process to a noob so apologies if I am teaching you more experienced guys and girls to suck eggs.
1. Burn both disks (DVD1 and DVD2) to DVD’s using PowerISO. This is as easy as downloading PowerISO from here, putting a blank DVD into your writer, selecting “open” on Power ISO, then finding the .daa file from the folder “Disk 1″ and pressing “Burn”. Repeat for Disk 2. You will now have 2 DVD’s, disk 1 & 2. This will take around 2 hours.
2. Put your newly burned Disk 1 into your DVD drive, explore it and select “Install.exe” (it may autorun, depends on how your PC is set up)
3. Open a case of Stella Artois. The install takes ages and Stella makes it more blurred and interesting. If you are American, open a case of “Bud Light” but try to drink 5 times more due to the weakly nature of such recycled water that resemble rat piss
4. If you are American and at this point start thinking of ways to be nasty to me, chill out and sink more beer. I am very pro colonial but very anti your Beer
Although being an ex squaddie, I am very pro the Busch family (if you have ever served in the Yank or Brit military, you’ll know why). Take note, that’s “Busch” with a “C”, not the other soundalike.
5. Follow all the instructions that come up. When the install screen comes up and it says options on the bottom click this and uncheck “Launch game after installation has completed”. This program is huge, it will take a couple of hours to install (depending on your PC). Insert Disk 2 into your CD/DVD drive when prompted.
6.
Let disc 2 install, upon completion click finish and the installer should close. For some reason on the 2nd PC I installed it on it ran anyway even though I had unchecked “Launch game after installation has completed”. DO NOT stop the program if it starts to run, this is no drama, just let it do its thing and then exit the programme before you physically type in any registration details that it asks you for.
7. Next run the application called “fsx_sp1_ENU” (in the original folder that you downloaded via the Torrent), this is basically an update for flight simulator (note that despite the name service pack 1, this is a service pack for the game not windows it self). This will extract into one of your drives. For some reason on my PC it extracted to Virtual drive “E”, but on another PC it extracted to “C”. It doesn’t matter where it extracts to as long as you can find it. It will autorun on completion of extraction. If it doesn’t and you can’t find it then click “Start”, “Search” and search for “fsx_dlx_enu_sp1.msp”. Once you find the folder that this is in, click “setup.exe” in that folder. A box will come up telling you the progress of the update. Let it run it’s course, this may take a while (up to 90 minutes), have patience
8. Once this is done, go back to your original Torrent download and unrar the file named “FsimX_serviceP1_Fixed_Working”, (this is “unrar’d” by using “Winrar”, again search for it on here if you don’t already have it). Open the unrar’d file and copy the cracked .dll files into the microsoft flight simulator folder. On my PC the folder was ?C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X?
9. After this run the game and don’t be surprised if the program takes a long time to load textures and such, this is normal and eventually the game should start.
10. Go to bed feeling guilty that you have deprived Billy Gates of a few quid that has obviously severely affected his 22 billion dollar personal fortune. You may have also caused Microsoft to have 1 less piece of diamond encrusted toilet paper.
11. Wake up realising that if they didn’t charge so damn much for the stuff in the first place (22 BILLION PERSONAL fortune, remember?), then maybe we wouldn’t download Pirates in the first place.
12. Feel better and enjoy
Some of the timings given here may be way off for your PC. I started to type this after installing it on a 2 gig single core laptop with only 512 of RAM. Obviously your PC may be way superior (I hope not inferior ’cause if it is the program might not run anyway) so take them at face value.
Have fun
