Hey - Captain David of the Big Ol' Boeing 707,, WOW holy Flight~sticks you really are a 707 pilot, thats utterly Cool ,,, unbelievable !!!  Well I know this much - all the above answers are Correcto' Mundo' You definetly do have to have both service packs installed to make this work,, also, I don't know about everybody else , but in my FSX Menu settings screen,, I have my DIRECT X-10 turned ON, with the check mark placed in the little box .  Now, sometimes, when you download an aircraft for your simulator, and say it may be for the older version of flight simulator like flight simulator 2004 century of flight or as some like to call it FS9,, for whatever reasons,,  those Aircraft will only show up usually with the DIRECT X 10 turned off,,, such as the British Vickers Super VC-10's Jetliners, from David's Addictive Simulations web site   -  I just last week downloaded the entire Jetliner Fleet of Vickers VC-10's from his site and installed them into my FSX Gold Acceleration edition,,,, after doing so, I was freaking out, almost, because all I had was the model itself showing up in the preview area in the menu screen,,, with NO aircraft Paint Textures at all,,,,  at that time I rememberd I had my Direct X 10 turned on,,, so, I went and took the check mark out of the box in the FSX Menu screen and restarted FSX, and they all showed up fine  - - but Remember that David,, make a note of that,, so you don't waste all kinds of time chasing paper airplanes for nothing, only to find out, all you had to do was take a check mark out of some darned ol' box and restart FSX again,,, I learn everything the hard way it seems !!!  Anyway,,, you get your sim up and running - Captain Dave,,, and I'll throw a Big ol' Surprise yourway !!!  Stay tuned !   from Captain JetRanger !!
