Bailout FSX FullBundle Version Question

[UpinAK]

Greetings... I have a complete set of V1.0 FSX DVD's from a few years ago. I received the BAILOUT email and was considering buying the full set of FSX for a great price of $36. Are all of the DVD's in this BAILOUT bundle V2? Which V1 DVD's would I be rebuying if I bought the bundle? Thanks!

Hi,

At the moment the 4-DVD US and Mexico V2 are available now.  Alaska-Hawaii V2 will be available probably by the end of October (Hawaii will be downloadable next weekend.)  Canada and World V2 will follow, I hope, before the end of the year.

Hope this helps

Justin... thank you for the quick reply.

I have not yet installed FSX. Just finished building a higher end computer and will SLOWLY migrate to Vista and FSX over time.

If I understand correctly I can buy V2 of the US terrain mesh, which is a 4 set DVD for $50 (less with current discount) and simply use them rather than the 2 DVD's V1 East and West US I have now. I should install Canada and Mexico V1 (if I don't buy Mexico V2 now) along with World Terrain Mesh V1 and I'm good to go for the time being.

Alaska is V 1.1 at the store... but where is it on the old V1 4 DVD set, if at all? Being it's my backyard??

Thanks again... I really am going to place an order today!

Hi,

Yes, that's correct.  You can install the new V2 US files over your old V1 install.

V1 Alaska was included in the V1 US West, I believe.  A few months back I split North America into four separate products ebcause it was too big and unwieldy.  There are now 4-DVD US, Canada DVD, Mexico CD, and Alaska-Hawaii CD covering North America.

Hope this helps

Hi Justin,

I have received the US-4 dvd set, but, nothing else.

Is there a back-up on shipments?

HI Paul,

You should have the latest available versions of everything but V2 Mexico, which as shipping at the rate of 5-15 a day, generally in the order recieved.  Yeah, there's a backlog.  :-)  Meanwhile, you can log into your FSG Store account and click My FSX Downloads to downlod the 600 or so Mb file if you wish while awaiting the CD.

Thanks
