Yes you are correct thank you for that. Not so much for FSX as I like the DX10 anyway but more for Rise of Flight which was looking horrid and I didn't know why - then when I saw your post it clicked that a few days ago I changed these graphics cards settings to try to get more speed out of RoF but I didn't realise it made the textures look so terrible. I am sure that FSX will be fine now in DX9 as well although I haven't tried it. I actually like flying around the scenery in FSX more than trying different planes so DX10 not being compatible isn't too much of an issue for me.

But its a shame MS couldnt be bothered to correct the FSX deficiencies before they started work on MS Flight. I am doubtful whether I will be buying the new title considering how they left FSX so unfinished. Apart from the fact I have my doubts as to how realistic it actually will be - nice graphical screenshots mean nothing. Several games licences have been completely ruined lately by dumbing them down to widen the audience (Silent Hunter 5 for one). And if they are making an internet accessible game that may mean a constant internet access is required to play - another reason I wouldn't buy it.
