December 7, 200619 yr Looks like some of the MSDN Coding 4 Fun team have seen FSX with DX10. They say it looks 'breathtaking'About half way down or see attachmenthttp://msdn.microsoft.com/coding4fun/archi...%20Guide%202006
December 7, 200619 yr Doubt it, just the usual pre-xmas hype making sure to use the very latest buzzwords: "DX10 is sooo 2007, darling..." Just search these very forums for the up-to-date information direct from ACES. Allcott
December 7, 200619 yr Indeed. The DX10 patch isn't yet available. Just more marketing hype.Doug Intel 10700K @ 5.1Ghz, Asus Hero Maximus motherboard, Noctua NH-U12A cooler, Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB 3200 MHz RAM, RTX 2060 Super GPU, Cooler Master HAF 932 Tower, Thermaltake 1000W Toughpower PSU, Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit, 100TB of disk storage.

December 7, 200619 yr Yep - the marketing hype for FSX has obviously reached all departments of Microsoft. 'Tell them it looks great with DX10'Or, the MSDN guys have actually seen FSX with DX10 and they're telling the truth!I'm not sure what to believe now, I'm running out of hope.
December 7, 200619 yr The most interesting thing is that they reference Amazon.com for the purchase at a rate of $49.99, reduced $15.00 from Amazon's pre-order price that was supposed to save us money and give us early delivery. Mine was weeks late, although I had little recourse as I am in a remote area for an across the counter sale (All Walmart had and still has is the standard version). Wonder how many folks canceled and got FSX Deluxe somewhere else, and if Amazon.com is stuck now with a stockpile of the software. Might be good for future buyers anyway. This whole thing sounds like a soap opera a little bit to me. We shall see what we shall see!Happy flying:RTH
December 7, 200619 yr "DX10 is sooo 2007, darling..."Have you been hanging out at the Fairmont in KSFO?LOL :D
December 7, 200619 yr Discounts are happening in lots of places. I saw the deluxe version for 15% off list price in an electronics retailer in Melbourne, Australia. To discount a title so soon after release (and more importantly, before Xmas) sales must be shocking...Cheers,Noel. 11th Gen i9-11900K @ 3.5GHz | nVidia GeForce RTX 3080 | Corsair 64 GB RAM | Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB | Asus 27" RoG G-Sync Track IR5 | Thrustmaster Warthog | CH Products Pedals
December 7, 200619 yr Actually, it was said that the sales of FSX was very good and many distributors were sold out!
December 7, 200619 yr Well, I wouldn't believe what 'people' say. According to 'people', zune is selling well, and it's not. Having said that, FSX is ranked #3 at Amazon under PC games which indicates it's selling very well indeed - despite the poor ranking.Christian
