first Direct X 10 screenshots!!!

As it turns out crysis beta is actually dx9 and not dx10! I found that out today. I can't wait for dx10 if it looks this good in dx9. The beta is an open fileplanet beta anyway so no NDA afaik. The demo is out next week and hopefully it will be dx10. Incredible game.________________________________________________________________________________________________Intel D975XBX2 'Bad Axe 2' | Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.20Ghz | 2 GB Super Talent DDR2 800 | Big Typhoon VX | eVGA 8800GTS @ 565/900 | Seagate 2x320GB SATA RAID-0 | OCZ GameXStream 700W | Creative X-Fi | Silverstone TJ-09BW | Matrox Triplehead Setup

Mistake eh? I WILL get to the bottom of all this. I bet it was you Phil who painted and posted that DX10 paint-by-number shot with the mountains and silver water. Give me Bill Gate's cell number, beginning with area code, please. He needs to hear it from MSFS's number one fan about this! Besides, I have some ideas about FS11 and how to fix some of these darn Vista bugs. Better yet, you can ask him (no, tell him!) to pencil me in for lunch on Friday. Tell him not to worry though, it's on me. There's a Micky-Ds right around the corner RH

>Fsx took 4 years. I think the game is getting so big / so>many features that it needs more develpoment time - Which is>fine by me because it will take 2 or 3 years to start seeing>what FSX can really deliver in terms of add-ons.Considering hardly anyone actually makes an addon for fsx I think you are right. I can't believe that almost a year later there are still no good airline addons, no dodo addon, and only a few scenery addons. This waiting game is getting old. I've got money to spend but apparently nobody wants it...________________________________________________________________________________________________Intel D975XBX2 'Bad Axe 2' | Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.20Ghz | 2 GB Super Talent DDR2 800 | Big Typhoon VX | eVGA 8800GTS @ 565/900 | Seagate 2x320GB SATA RAID-0 | OCZ GameXStream 700W | Creative X-Fi | Silverstone TJ-09BW | Matrox Triplehead Setup

You have the right to choose not to read it too. Maybe I think you shouldn't have the right to bombard us with your lambasting of me but it doesn't change the fact that you're still doing it. Constantly is also a stretch considering I only post here about twice a week on average these days and very rarely to complain, at least not unless it's warranted. If you're going to use an adverb then at least use an appropriate one...________________________________________________________________________________________________Intel D975XBX2 'Bad Axe 2' | Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.20Ghz | 2 GB Super Talent DDR2 800 | Big Typhoon VX | eVGA 8800GTS @ 565/900 | Seagate 2x320GB SATA RAID-0 | OCZ GameXStream 700W | Creative X-Fi | Silverstone TJ-09BW | Matrox Triplehead Setup

Also, while we're talking about it, I'd love to get a "games we are playing" thread going in the hanger or something. I'm on TF2 right now as well, and I'd love to get some playtime with you guys.

This is, of course, suggesting that we've guessed all of the possible features so far.

I agree. It is not that FSX hit the streets a few weeks ago. Developers had a preview and SDK months before the release, so it's been a good 1.5 years. HifiSim, FSGenesis, Eaglesoft and the team of Ultimate Terrain has proven that it is possible. Carenado's aircraft collection was available/patched weeks after the release.I think that some smaller developers should team up to bundle forces, knowledge and development skills. Or smaller devs who are not interested or able to patch their products should make it available open-source.Just think about former excellent projects, like Active Camera, FSHotSeat, FS Navigator, etc. that are just not getting patched and updated. Oh well.Pat

I just finished MOHA and am now just starting bioshock.________________________________________________________________________________________________Intel D975XBX2 'Bad Axe 2' | Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.20Ghz | 2 GB Super Talent DDR2 800 | Big Typhoon VX | eVGA 8800GTS @ 565/900 | Seagate 2x320GB SATA RAID-0 | OCZ GameXStream 700W | Creative X-Fi | Silverstone TJ-09BW | Matrox Triplehead Setup
