They're wrong.

Some people were moaning about some slowdowns and stutters, I think, but a proper install takes care of all of that. I had zero problems. I had FSX on it's own HD all by its lonesone. I uninstalled, defragged, installed FSX, then Acceleration, then all the add-ons, defragging at least two or three times during the process and once at the end, and everything ran like peaches and cream.

The F-18 is gorgeous. Looks fantastic, comes with lots of skins, the HUD works perfectly and is very smooth. The P-51 Racer is also very nicely done as well as the EH-101 chopper. Included in Acceleration are great sceneries of Andrews AFB (pics above) as well as Istanbul and a few other places. By market standards for FSX add-ons, what you get in Acceleration would cost way over $100. The F-18 and Edwards AFB alone would cost $50 to $60 together at least. So for $25, it's a no brainer.

A note, if you run Ground Environment X without a defrag after install, you're doomed.
