>Well, Vista is being released at the end of the month, and>they'll have to have the promised DX10 patch shorty after.No, they won't. The DX10 update will be many many months from now.

Well sure Garett all of that would be nice if they did drop a line about what they are up to. And maybe they will, especially if this nice little thread keeps getting bump'ed back up to the top. :)But you know, it's really only been about a month or so since Phil Taylor's post so that's not too big a deal. Especially with Christmas and New Years stuck in between.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2310 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 GB Corsair XMS 2.5-3-3-8 (1T), WD 250 gig 7200 rpm SATA2, CoolerMaster Praetorian case

Lets wait and see. And give FSX a new chance....There are some problems, and that's a fact, the game is heavy, that's a fact too. Program errors and memory leeks in conjunction with heavy amount of that data only can give us a slow experience. Even with a Pentium Extreme 6700, a 8800 GTX and 4G of RAM low latency, with windows XP ou vista fresh install and running only FSX, the experience is considered too be bad/medium in some more dense areas, and that is not normal. And don't give space for more even dense sceneries addons.Every line of code they review and optimise, will give us always better and better performance in current Machines, dual e single core.There is something big going wrong, or worse, a lot of little things that in conjunction slow down any system.Sorry for my English ...
