You only need V2, it came with night lighting and FS2004 on it which
were absent on v1. I never purchased v1 so it is clearly not needed. If
you have v2 because you were an original v1 buyer then v2 was issued
free, if you purchased v2 then you qualify for the half price v3 upgrade.
If I recall correctly, the difference between v1 and v2 was night
lighting and improved water masks (?)

Not absolutely positive about this, but I think the version 1 came
in 2 flavours, FSX and FS2004, but they got the updates onto a
single set. I guess you need to install the version 1, followed by
the updates.
This all happened years ago............
There's been rumours of FSX11 coming later this year, I guess you
will be getting that going in another 7 years time, I'm reminded of
the 2 Ronnies sketch where they did Mastermind, with the answers
lagging one behind the questions!

Digging through the box of DVD’s I have for FS reveals quite a few
scenery disks and my suspicion is that many can go straight in the
skip. Before I do so can I check that I’m not throwing away the
wrong boxes?
First is the four box set of Visual Flight photo scenery – John’s
original release. I assume this was replaced or improved by
Horizon GenX and that it isn’t worth installing.
Next is the Horizon scenery but it is puzzling me. I seem to have
the original GenX three disk set but the boxes say this is for FSX
only. I also have the GenX V.2 disk set which claims it is
compatible with FS2004 as well as FSX. If the latter is true then
I see no reason the install the original set and should also throw
the original GenX DVD’s away too.
Is this correct or are there any solid reasons for installing the
Visual Flight scenery again or the Generation X V.1 scenery?
As to flight sim itself I presume there isn’t any problem
installing FS2004 and then FSX –or would it be better doing it the
other way round? I seem to recall the FSX install was reported to
mess up any FS2004 links..
