Tell that to the folks that run XP and DX9. They got swindled, pure and simple.

Why have they? it seems to me the main hold up with the patch is to make sure the DX9 guys are looked after.

They dont give a hoot about the COD DX9 guys, DX9 has been pony from the start, they are only making sure DX9 is ok for the MMO.

Can you explain why exactly DX9 is essential for an MMO?

I never said it was essential, im saying the DX9 fix is for the next release, the DX9 fix for COD is just a bi-product.
If they HAD to fix DX9 for COD because its on the box, it would have been done before release.

So why do they need to bother fixing DX9 at all then?

They need it fixed for the MMO, and they want to attract as many new blood players worldwide as possible. For the new game they need to reach for large player base, IMHO

Just a reminder not to mis-inform people or you will get an infraction.
Last warning Force10 you have been deliberately and overtly negative and distorting the facts for some time. Enough is enough. If you dont like the current state of the game, go and have a little break and do something else constructive somewhere else before we are forced to give you one. The same goes for anyone else that isnt enjoying it.

Have a break, get a life, Im sure your family and friends dont like you in this mood so go do something you enjoy and come back and comment when the next patch is out. Everything that needed to be said about the last official patch and latest DX10 alpha patch has already been said.

DX9 and XP support still exists in the current latest official patch.

DX9 was removed from the DX10 alpha/beta patch to enable better trouble shooting of core graphics engine issues.. DX9 has it's own peculiarities so it is being addressed separately.

DX9 subject is now closed!

With all due respect to some very good mods to the original IL-2, they would have had nothing to mod if it weren't for the developers hard work. I doubt there will be any SDK until the game engine is finished and working. I know I wouldn't waste coder resources on modeling an SDK for public use until the critical game engine code was working properly.
