Well Not all of us can afford to ramp up their Pc's every few months. I have a DX11 card, But I couldnt care less what Dx they us, So long as it runs well, Is a great Sim of the battle of Britain, and is moddable and upgradable, then isnt that all that counts. Im sure we can upgrade in the future, For now, Lets just get into those blue skys and enjoy ourselves. The graphics shown look great even if its not 11. Hell even the RAF dosnt have sims with perfect graphics. They have enough to do the job. Thats all we need. For a scalible graphics engine so it covers majority of our machines, it makes perfect sense.

Why not? DX paths are just different renderers. The developers are right to concentrate on DX9-10, where 90% of the market is at.

It's not like the whole game is based on DX versions. You don't need to dump the whole engine for a few new DX11 APIs.

I am sure that the developers have looked into DX11. Maybe that path is even half done, but they realized that the additional time and money needed isn't worth it for this release.

When the time the market is ready for DX11, they only need to rework their renderer and release the upgrade as an expansion pack. I'd gladly support Oleg with more money.

You make dx11 sound a lot more important for the consumer than it actually is, have you actually understood what dx11 does or are you just looking at the numbers..
