You're not alone. Check out alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim to see many
opinions on FSX -- most of them not good.

FSX does run on our new "uber-Computer" (for our Kiwi flight sim), but
suffice it to say that I'm sticking with FS 2004 (AKA: FS9) for now, at
least until Microsoft releases a patch or some configuration
work-arounds.


FWIW, the SDK was just recently released, as well as an
'update' of sorts. The DirectX 10 patch for it will not be made
available until Q2 2007, because of lack of hardware and various other
reasons. That has been documented on many forums and developer blogs.
