DirectX 10 Question???

Postby Corrupt Silence » Sat Feb 02, 2008 2:32 pm

OK, so I am confused. :-? I was told that DirectX10 was out. There are even several videos on YouTube.com that say they are DX10. I have all the gear to run it. I also have FSX Deluxe with the Acceleration add-on. The DirectX website even shows DX10 on it. But when I click to download the latest version of DirectX all I get is the download for DX9.0c. I take it that DX10 is not out yet?
I apologize for my ignorance, but I have spent the last couple months relocating for my job and have been out of the loop.
Is DX10 available? If not is there any speculation as to when it will be?

Why can't I get too it from the DirectX website then?

I go to this website;
http://www.gamesforwindows.com/en-US/Ab ... x10-a.aspx

I click on download and it takes me to this page;
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... rb2Q%3d%3d

Which tells me;
The Microsoft DirectX

Sorry for the trouble. As I said, I've been busy with life and am finally getting settled in. Saw that DX10 was available and was stoked. Now I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Maybe it is DX10??? I just assumed the file would have been 10.xx.xxxx you know... Thanks for the help anyway. lol I guess I'll just leave it as is and check back here later. I can't seem to find anything newer. If this is DX10, then I am somewhat dissapointed in all the hype surrounding it. Again, thanks for your time... ;)

Type "dxdiag" into the search function in Vista and run the program.
That will tell you which version of DirectX you have.

You have to select "DX10 Preview" in the FSX display settings to get FSX in DSX10.  There's usually a set of DX10 settings in game options for whatever game you play.
