Have you checked your key-settings? I don't know exactly but afaik 'R' isn't assigned to the simulation rate... And if the key is assigned we have one possible fault checked. 

2. When I am in settings and I press Customize to enter Graphics, I cannott see DirectX Preview.

Might be a spec problem since not every gra/ca will support DirectX 10 and for that reason it won't appear in FSX. Maybe post your specs for a closer look!

I aso do have the Windows 7 and I think DirectX10 doesn't work too well anymore as it did in Windows VISTA.

Correct me if I'm wrong please
