what should I chose? what works better? (I got windows).
and, as a side note, what is been working on? will it be a update for DX9?

OpenGL, hands-down.

ATM, D3D is dead!
It "works", but is far behind OGL, AFAIK...

If you're a good D3D-Coder you can help bug-fixing and/or rewriting the D3D-Code

Some of the FS2_Open code should make you feel right at home then

[vamitul]

  very reassuring! btw.. is the original [V] code still around somewhere?

[takashi]

D3D can only take advanage of mv_effects and mv_core. otherwise i hope you like major slowdowns, invisible ships, and dead computers.

as for the volition code, im sure gamespot has a download up...as long you will join them

The code is right here, taka...

EDIT: Dead computers??

[WMCoolmon]

CVS repo of the original FS2 code release

[takashi]

yes, dead computers. turn on all the media vp's, run in d3d, then play one of the latter, bigger missions in the main campaing. or if you dare, play multi.

...Speaking from experience?

EDIT: You mean crashed computers, then, right?  I take "Dead" as meaning fried; BBQed.
