Most games do not work on this hardware. Open source drivers for Intel cards still lack lots of features required by Wine. Do yourself a favor and buy a Nvidia card. Even the cheapest one will be miles ahead of all those Intel "gpu"s.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX#Releases

As you can see, DirectX 9.0 was only released in December 2002.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_Sim ... lator_2002

Here you can read that FS2002 was released in October 2001. This means that Flight Simulator 2002 works with DirectX 8, that your Intel GPU probably supports a lot better. FS2002 is an excellent simulator and you can still find support for it in the forums of FlightSim.com.
