DX9 for B.o.S??

[RickRuski]

Why would the new production team go with a 12 year old Dx system (based on the release date for B.o.S. and the first release of DX9) when there is a better one now. The subject at the new forum has been locked , why?? is it becoming a hot subject that the new development team don't want to answer?.

Is it because the R.o.F. engine is based on DX9 and to change it is not economically viable.
Surely this is a bacwards step, by the time B.o.S. gets released there may even be a new DX system (Dx12 or whatever). It sounds like the new series will be using old technology based on the R.o.F. engine. I have R.o.F. and find it not as good as C.o.D., the clickable cockpit features will disappear along with what else? so that it will be easier to use the R.o.F. engine?.
What a disappointing start to the new release.

Oh yes, someone should tell those pesky devs looks are all in a sim, working features are for kids.
What we need is cinema style graphics. DX15 preferably.

+1, we shouldn't even bother with display devices, visuals are for pussies, who wants realistic visuals in a sim anyway.....monochrome in blocky pixels thats what we want, we wont get any nasty stuttering then.

It's 2 years out, people. Much can happen in that timeframe.

And even if the game ISN'T in DX11, as long as it's good enough, why worry? Graphics isn't everything.

Why shoot for DX11 now, when you can milk the DLC fans every step along the way to it??

Eighteen months/ two years out they say? it should be going to DX11 now as newer versions of DX will/ could well be out by then! and perhaps Windows 9

You've just answered your own question!
