However, looming on the horizon is this new version. I seem to remember that there was a "new" DX10 version soon to be released when I last looked at FPS Creator. Has that died a death?"
Yes

It depends on what you want to do with it. It has its shortcoming: The memorycap but other than that its really great. Just take a look at some of the top projects out here, you'll see how you can handle it.

Quote: "Finally, if I do go for this what are the must have packs, mods or add-ons I should lay my hands on? Are there any patches not included in the dl that I need to find? "
Yes! You need to update your software at least to version 1.17.
s4real is working on a very promising mod you should keep an eye on.
The must have packs depend on your project. What kind of game do you have in mind?
