I downloaded and installed the SP1 update for FSX. On the initial start after install it generated new scenery files, but then it will not start. I have restarted my computer, but now all I get is the start-up splash screen then it disappears and then nothing.

Chris this is the message that I received from PCAviator the vendor where I purchased FSX, which I never installed due to performance problems. The instructions are generic without much insight.
As a PC Aviator customer, we're pleased to send you this special notice to
inform you that Microsoft have released Service Pack 1 for Flight Simulator
X.
We have thoroughly tested this service pack and we can categorically state
that it does wonders to improve the performance of FSX.
We thoroughly recommend that you download and install the free service pack.
It's a 210 Mb download and takes just a few minutes to install.
You'll be thoroughly pleased with the performance gain you'll enjoy even on
a not so high end PC.
To download the Service Pack, simply follow this link:
http://www.fsinsider.com/downloads/Pages/FlightSimulatorXServicePack1.aspx
1. We suggest that you first download and install the VS 2005 SP1 first.
This is a Visual C++ runtime redistributable required to help some third
party add ons run correctly.
2. Then download and install the Flight Simulator X Service Pack 1.
When you first run FSX after installing the SP1, it will take a few moments
to configure itself and then after that you'll begin enjoying FSX again at a
new level of performance.

Guys, just a quick addition to this post.
I downloaded and installed SP1 yesterday. What a big difference it has made to FSX. It is now enjoyable to use. Frame rates on my system have gone from around 4FPS average to about 24FPS now. Only thing I had to do to get it working better was to un-install the game and then re-install. Of course after this you then have to go and re-install all the add-ons, but trust me it is well worth the extra work.
If I can help anyone further please PM me or add to this question. Will keep an eye on it for the next few days.

SP1 wants a clean install of FSX. Any add-ons or performance tweaks can interfere with the service pack install. Once SP1 has been installed you can put your add-ins and/or tweaks back in.

I did a clean install - installed the SP1 - now I am rocking. Went from 4-6 FPS at max settings in KBOS - to 25-36 FOS at KBOS on max settings. When I lower some of the settings - it still looks awesome - and I can get up to 45-55 FPS...all is working good!
Now what planes do we have in DVA that are FSX compatible now?

Rather than do a complete reinstall I did a repair an option when you put in disk one of FSX.As a result all my add on's etc were still in place. Only other change was to delete the old FSINN and install the new Beta 2
for copilot and Fsinn. Works fine now.

The FSX-compatible Fleet installers are the CRJ, 737NG, 757 and 767. I will be pushing out an ACARS build later today that includes FSUIPC 4.10, which is required with SP1.
Cheers!

luke i installed the 767 - and when i selected it to fly i got about 30 messages stating something to the effect of "do i want to trust this guage" or it is no longer supported. did I miss something - or do i need to use some other method.
thanks!
Andy

That's par for the course with gauges from previous versions. Once you've told FSX you'll trust the gauge, you won't get the message again.
