So I am new to FSX...and I would like to get it set up on my new computer properly and then apply Captain Sim software. This may sound dumb, but I'm a bit confused about FSX Gold and Acceleration. should I purchase FSX gold version and also Acceleration, or can I just buy acceleration by itself?

I'm thinking I will need FSX gold and then add acceleration as it contains both SP1 and SP2. Am I wrong about this?

Also, any suggestions on where to get a good deal on purchasing FS software?

Thanks guys :)
