Patching FSX with the DX10 fixes will not create problems to DX9 airports, as long as FSX is running in DX9 mode. In fact, after the fixes, switching to DX9 is only required to fly at night on a DX9-only airport. At day, you can keep DX10 on most of the time.

Richard McDonald Woods:
Hi Umberto,
If PMDG propose using DX10 for their B777, then this may upset DX9 airports?
And how do I switch from one DX to the other in FSX?
Cheers, R

WE are proposing it already and, it would be nice if our suggestion to use DX10 to save some memory would be remembered in the future...

I believe my previous reply answered that.

You can switch with the regular option in FSX, but it will require a restart.

I'd say the procedure that makes most sense, is to decide what to use before starting a flight, depending by your departure/arrival airports are, and your time of arrival. If you land or depart at a DX9-only airport in DX10 at day, there aren't usually many issues, provided you installed the DX10 community fixes.
