I have FSX + Acceleration Pack + Weapon for FSX.
When firing a missile against an airliner, I can shoot it down but I do not see any effect of the explosion on contact with the missile.

I think I had the same problem. Try to run FSX as "Administrator"

I don't see an explosion either. I do hear the missile hit and the AI aircraft itself does go down in flames, sometimes even exploding in mid-air.

Many thanks to Johan. Running FSX as Administrator the problem is solved. "Weapon for FSX"is fun, the price is low and we hope it to run in multiplayer in the near future

This (the fact that you need to run as administrator) needs to be posted in big letters on the weapon homepage or something. It's in the knowledgebase, but I'm sure plenty of people don't check there. I was extremely frustrated with Weapon until I finally got the explosions working.  ;D

I find it interesting to note that I don't need to use "Run as an administrator" for FSX, Weapon for FSX Loader or pretty much any other program I use in Windows 7 either. On my system I only have a few programs that I have to use "Run as an administrator" on to have them work correctly. I don't know why, my UAC is set to the recommended one (second from the top). Is it the difference between Home Premium and Professional? I don't really know. My guess is that it is.

I seem to have better luck with fsx in general if I run as administrator. There's something about it, and it probably has to do with the fact that you can only save default cfg files as administrator.
