Yeah I know what you mean.  The Horror.  The HORROR!!!

I can tell you that once the 727 is running on Acceleration and you get it modded up and working properly, it is AWESOME.

You could/should get away with just installing the Acceleration from the included disk, but if you need to install the whole lot, it shouldn't affect too much. Open the Windows RUN command and enter %AppData%\Microsoft\FSX, find and copy the fsx.cfg and dll.xml files and  then paste them somewhere safe (like the desktop). Uninstall FSX, then install FSX old. Copy your  fsx.cfg and dll.xml files and paste them back in the %AppData%\Microsoft\FSX folder and you should be fine with the change. You will need to redo any changes to you control settings, but because thre are some changes from the FSX to Acceleration button/keys commands, I do not recommend backing up the Controls\standard.XML file!

Yeah. A full reinstall clears out the rubbish (removes the files no longer in use).

I hear that to get the best from Orbx Vector, you need to use it with PILOT'S - FS Global 2010.

It is for that reason that I have held off on buying Orbx Vector. I have Orbx Global and that makes FSX (and P3D if I install it there) look really nice.
