The title pretty much says it all. Why upgrade from DX9 (2002) to DX11? Why is RF upgrading to DX11 instead of DX12? Wouldn't it make sense to upgrade to the current version?

Uengine uses DirectX to talk to the hardware.AFAIK, DX12 doesn't require a supercomputer like RF-X using uengine did. My 4th gen laptop with only onboard graphics uses DX12. It won't set the world on fire, but RF8 is usable on it. DX12 is supposed to be faster than DX9 on the same hardware, so I'm not sure that's a valid argument. I'm pretty sure RF-X's problem was that it was using uengine instead of DirectX.
I saw that, and yes, that's part of what I'm saying here. But I'm looking for a bit more detail than that.@Bill Stuntz Good question. This has been already discussed and explained here:
So far, so good
I just switched to using the DirectIX 11 Beta. I am only just getting started with it but so far everything seems to work well. I do have a 12th gen intel cpo and when I use the internal graphics everything works as expected whereas before it would not work at all. I have a graphics card in my...forums.realflight.com
