With Flight deamed a failure, does this mean that FSDT will support FS9 longer?

The most logical choice would be, of course, either switching to FSX or Prepar3D.
FS9 has no future, because it doesn't use well current hardware, up to the point that with a very fast system and products optimized in the right way, FSX it's faster than FS9, and this is only going to become more and more apparent with further hardware generations.

FSX is NOT faster than FS9...nonsense :o

You obviously haven't read my post carefully. FSX IT'S faster, on a fast multicore system AND with properly optimized product, not FS9 portovers, clearly demonstrated here:

As you can see, a scenery that was born for FS9 using FS9 techniques for the most part ( Zurich ) it's much faster on FS9, and since this is how most of the sceneries are made, users are mislead thinking FS9 is faster, but with KLAX, which is tailored on FSX, FSX it's faster even if FS9 doesn't have bump mapping and has much less textures resolution.
There are many methods that were perfectly fine in FS9 which are very slow when used in FSX, while FSX doesn't really seem to care how much stuff you put in, provided it's MADE for it, and not just compiled with the FSX SDK, but designed for it right from the start.
The more the hardware become powerful, the more this difference will become obvious, that's why FS9 is doomed, and even more so now, that for many FS9 users the jump to MS Flight doesn't seem so attractive anymore.

Well Il stick with FS9 and FSX than. I will be getting the Dell XPS8300 for FSX and transfer all my scnery and stuff over. Does this mean i get free upgrades to FSDT scenery for FSX? Just wondering... I have KORD, JFK, KFLL, KLAS, KDFW, PHNL, and zurich. Is it possible i could get all those free if i already have the FS9 version? I will still be switching over to FSX anyways... Maybe in the next 1-2 years.

Sure you can, is explained all over our website, for example here:
http://www.fsdreamteam.com/products_jfk.html
--- Quote ---The product is sold as 2 Products in One. This means, by buying one version, you will automatically get the other for free, since activation and serial codes are shared between FSX and FS9.
