DirectX 10 Preview Option Gone

[fsxkitty 62]

Hi guys,

 

I've got FSX + Acceleration. Ever since upgrading from Windows 8 to 8.1, the checkbox to enable DirectX 10 is gone. I'm running the newest driver and I've got all the updates.

 

Any ideas?

I wonder if the upgrade to 8.1 also updated the DirectX to 11?

Probably that problem?

Win7 is DX11, go to microsoft website download dxweb installer and run.  It should install dx9 and 10 files but with win 8 who knows.

Yep, it was that problem alright. Thanks for pointing that out

 

On another note, is it possible to enable AA in DX10?
