It is 07.17.08 and no fix in site yet!!! One of the reasons I purchased a new Vista based system was DX 10. Since I use FSX and X-Plane ... What a big disapointment it is ... I'll bet that MS will fix this problem in the new FS what ever but it will cost us bucks to get it. I DON'T THINK SO!!! Good luck simmers - we've been taken again Bob OK ALL!!!

I'm astounded at the fact that you do seem to have actual buildings in dx10. Mine look like this http://home.planet.nl/~plum0029/fsxdx10hooray1.png And that came from a clean install. Since MS is already busy with their next flightsim (that will run fluently on computers from 2020) I'm afraid a patch won't be forthcoming. It's very silent on fsinsider and related ms sites.... Did you test any of this with SP1 on vista btw? Nice article!.

The whole gaming community has issues and complaints over DX10 so us Flight Simmers are certainly not alone! Ditto.

I have tried DirectX 10 with FSX and have experienced the same issues that you and other have described. The flickering is very annoying! I can't believe they released the DX10 implementation without spotting that. Unbelievable. Anyway, hopefully it will be fixed soon! Nice overview.
