BACK IN THE AIR
Thanks to all here who answered my S.O.S. I tried to config my flight controllers in CFS3, with the same problem, so the issue was bigger than OFF BH&H. After many hours (read: days) of searching, thinking and removing and reinstalling "this and that", I stumbled across a MS Update for DirectX 9. It is essentially a backward compatibly "fix" for apps that do not play nice wit DirectX 10 or 11--and CFS3 falls into that brier patch. After installing the update, CFS3 and BH&H run smooth as 'snot on a doorknob', as my old DI used to say.
I have included the link to MS Updates here in case anyone else runs into similar issues and for the support team to file away for reference.

In 480 B.C. at the battle of Thermopylae, King Leonidas and his 300 Spartan warriors (along with 700 other Greek allies), had to defend a narrow strip of land between the ocean and a mountain range. They faced off against the mightiest army in the known world at that time--the Persians, led by Emperor Xerxes. The Spartans were out numbered by and estimated 10 to 20:1, depending upon the historian. Leonidas and his men knew this was a suicide mission, only to buy time so the rest of Greece could mobilize it's forces. After the first day of battle, the Persians lost 20,000 men; the Spartans lost only a handful. Xerxes sent an envoy out to meet with Leonidas and make him an offer. If they would surrender their weapons, Xerxes would allow them to live. To this Leonidas replied, "If you want our weapons, Molon Labe (come and take them)".

Olham--I believe they have updates for both users of 9.0c as well as 11.
NVidia users may also be interested that they have released new video drivers this week.

Coincidence I too saw this morning the update, and said to myself that I would try it tonight.

In the directx11, you've also v10 and v9 included. So it makes all the sense.
When I first installed OFF in Win7 RC1, I did had some problems. Only after installing the Directx9 from August I stoped having problems.

No. Even XP users should always theorically have their direct X updated.
Like Herr said all users even Nvidia owners should have it.

Yes DX11 is DX9 "compatible" as it where, but you will find some games specifically require DX9 to be installed too Olham -they can happily co-exist on Windows 7 at least.
