Flight Sim has preliminary support, Though come to find out that 
"Supports DirectX 10" on the box wasn't true at all. :(

So, I have no idea if FSX works or looks any better on a DX10 machine, 
still. But I can tell you under XP with a reasonably fast system, it 
either looked like crap or ran dog slow. Your choice.

So, now I'm shopping for a real DX10 video card.
