DX-10 Discussions, Hints and Help

Hi. I wrote Wilco and they said they can't help me...so im taking a long shot here...the piaggio freezes every 10-15 seconds, and then unfreezes...this is fsx steam edition

After a few years away from my flight sim I decided to get back into it. While installing everything I finally broke down and purchased Steve’s DX10 fixer. The improvement in the games visuals are truly amazing! Kicking myself for not buying this years ago! Just wanted to say thanks to Steve for creating this awesome product.

Hey Guys, Any of you know how to run Evans and Sutherland Novoview SP1 Visual System Diagnostics? It has been a long time since I have done this. Like 1995. I am working on a visual issue on the DC-10-10 Tanker. The visual displays are flashing. Thank you, for your help. Spud

Good evening all, I have awful flickering runway lines, using the latest DX10Fixer Everything else does not flicker, at all. I have DX10 anti aliasing at 8x, and in Nvidia inspector I have 4x SGSS and 16x AF The sim runs great, but these shimmers are awful Hope someone can help! Cheers

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well? Just quickly, all of my still/non blinking lights work perfectly with Steve’s DX10 fixer, the problem I have are with blinking/flashing lights. All of these are square with a square glow around them. I am a bit of a newby to DX10 so sorry in advance if I’m reporting the obvious. Any help or suggestions would really be appreciated. Cheers

So I finally discovered Steve's magical DX10 Fixer last month and been loving it since, but I find that installing any payware addon that adds more extensive contrails like Envtex or PrecipitFX causes a weird stuttering issue. The issue is not directly with the contrails themselves, but weirdly when flying high enough to get the contrails and then looking down at the ground from the plane. That's when the frame rate drops from a constant 30 fps down to like 20-23 fps. Only when these addon contrails appear and only when I look straight down at the ground passing underneath my plane do I see the frame rates drop. It's definitely the contrails as there is not stuttering bef…

When using bloom activated in SteveFX's fixer together with a REX sun preset, I found out the lens flare effect recieves accumulated bloom which makes the sun ridiculously large. To prevent that i have tune down the Fixer option "Light Glare Halo" all the way to 0. The option "Alpha/Halo" has no effect on this. I suppose its the lens flare textures that recieve bloom by the sim instead of the actual sun textures. Here is what it looks like with Light Glare Halo off: However, this removes the shiny effects from all other bright objects as well. The SweetFX bloom filter has an option to "blend" multiple bloom effects instead of adding them. Now I wonde…

Hi Steve, maybe I'm giving you something absurd, a few years ago I bought your Fixer from Flightsim store which is closed, then later I also bought your Clouds Shadows on FastSpring. Unfortunately I have lost all data but I would like to fly FSX DX10 again, even if I just got MSFS 2020. I kindly ask you if you can help me track down my two software that I bought if that's not too much of a problem. The only thing I can give you is my name, because then I changed several e-mail addresses. I thank you in advance and wish you a good and happy new year. Greetings from Italy. my name: SCATTU ALESSIO my current email address is: alessioscattu.strixevo(at)outlook(dot…

I need to download Steves dx 10 fixer which I purchased a few years ago. The problem that i have is I forgot where I bought it from ? Now I have a new computer and want to download it. I simply forgot where I bought it from. Somebody help me please.

Hello everyone. After some time adjusting settings in my FSX and laptop (see specs in signature), I was able to get a satisfactory setup, with framerate locked in FSX-SE at 32 FPS in DX9. In DX10 with this FPS lock, FSX feels smoother, but I find some annoying blurry ground textures: This is in FSX-SE, DX10: As you may see in the background, the city textures in the background are blurry. However, this does not happen in DX9: Can you see that these textures are crisper? All these tests are taking off from KMIA runway 9 and then, after reaching 3000 ft, turn right. I've tried changing LOD Radius (4.5 and 6.5), Texture size (1024, 2048 or even 4096)…

Hello !,Iam use P3DV4 , I get a problem when playing it I use a DX10 VGA Card. When everything is loaded it only shows Runway, Taxi, Houses, Trees, and Airport Buildings, is there a solution?

I was using Steve's free DX10 shader fixers on Win7 Ultimate 64 with terrific results with FSX:SE. Either when I upgraded to Win10 or replaced my Video card, I lost in-cockpit shadows. So...wondering about the status quo of Steve's fixers, I discovered an updated and more feature rich version was being sold online again and bought the DX10 Scenery Fixer and Cloud Shadows patch without hesitation. I now have terrific shadow and lighting effects in my cockpits again and the sim overall. Something I've noticed, is that when I access "Fsx Settings" from the DX10 Fixers Controller's menu, there's a lot of FSX.CFG settings, some of which I wasn't aware of. Some of them I'v…

I've tried making the 1/2 refresh rate work in my laptop, but somehow, it's not working. The monitor only works at 60Hz. I've set 1/2 Refresh Rate in Nvidia Inspector, and set full screen and FPS unlimited in FSX Steam. The full laptop specs are in my signature, but I'll sumarize: ASUS TUF FX504GD laptop, i5-8300H CPU, GTX 1050 GPU, Windows 10 Home, FSX-SE running in DX10 (with the Fixer installed). If I understood correctly, this 1/2 refresh rate setting will limit my frames to 30. However, in the lightly loaded scenario I'm using (on purpose), I'm seeing over 180 FPS at least. I was expecting to see no more than 30 FPS, and the same smoothness I had in my old …

Hey all, I'm new to the forums here, but I've referred to Avsim before for problems with FSX. Anyways, I'm trying to get SweetFX working with DX10. I have the fixer and everything else works just fine, but I can't get SweetFX working when DX10 preview is enabled. There is no difference in color/saturation and changing the settings for SweetFX has no effect. If I uncheck DX10 preview, SweetFX works fine. Any fixes? Much appreciated.

My external view while cruising is terrible... the contrails are just black lines... How do I fix it?... my specs,addons in my signature... I think it could have started after I installed the AI model matching from IVAO, but couldn't be sure.. I would like my old look back :-) ..

here is why: The light beam in DX10 keeps being "obstructed" by objects like clouds, trees and buildings that are actually behind it. Sorry for the quality 😉

I got it to work just wait till it loading the little whie box I just click my desktop and the FSX will go black but when comes up it is the right screen

Hello Folks; I am trying to get a clarification on this. Should the FrameRate limiter still be set in both FSX app (graphic sections slider) and also in the NVI "Frame Rate limiter? The DX10 Fixer document stated for example; 60Hz monitor should be 31 in NVI and Frame Rate Limiter 30 in FSX and of course 1/2 in the Refresh Rate. However, looking at recent posts you rarely see (actually haven't seen it at all) a value in that field in NVI settings. It's value is always off, the value set in FSX slider (30) and 1/2 refresh in NVI. Maybe those posts are generic and aren't taking DX10 into account hence the reason for off. There are lots of posts out there for…

Hi all, and happy Easter! I am running FSX in DX10 mode, using Nvidia Inspector to apply all of the DX10 settings, and of course the DX10 fixer Everyting used to run good. But, I recently have upgraded some computer parts, and changed from Windows 7 to Windows 10 Pro 64 bit... Now, all the lines (like taxi lines) are very shimmery... Is there someone who can help me fix this, maybe post a Nvidia Inpector DX10 profile? Help is very appreciated Cheers, Wilco

I bought my copy of the DX10 Fixer from the what appears to now be dead FSS site. Well, it's still up, but doesn't seem to be hosting the updated versions and Steve seems to be selling it on another site now. Is there a way to get access to the new versions? Or will I need to purchase it all over again from the new location if I want the updated version?

Yes, I have read through many posts and the fixer website, but I am not quite clear as to whether the AA options I am currently using with FSX / DX9 will work under DX10. Like many here I can't stand any jaggies but with my older GPU I am successfully using 16xQ AA + 4 x rotated grid transparency supersampling AA for FSX under DX9. This gives me pretty good image quality with jaggies only in certain (very minor) situations such as the electricity pylons in my ORBX scenery. I could probably get rid of those using 4 x supersamping for the whole image area but that is way too costly for my current GTX580 and just cripples its performance (though I may try it again when I bui…

I bought Steve's dx 10 fixer over a year ago but since I upgraded my C drive and backed up dx 10 fixer's install files but forgot to save the serial number. Gutted. I was hoping I could put my details into Steve's site and get my serial back. I love this program,it really breathes new life into fsx.

Hi, I have a big problem with FSX. Recently, I installed some new aircrafts. They worked ok and everything looked ok, but then, randomly while I was playing with a plane's flaps, the whole plane became invisible. If I use the 1st person view in the Cockpit it's fine, but when I look at it from outside (from any angle) it's literally invisible, there is no plane (but the shadow and the lights are visible). This thing happens with every single aircraft (even with the default ones). Can anyone please help me solve this problem? I would really appreciate it! Have a good day.

Hello, Simmers! :) Today, I flew with my PMDG737NGX in my FSX(DX10). After I bought the DX10 Fixer which Steve made, the external shadows where just awesome.(It was quite more realistic and more accurate than before.) However, Today when I flew with my 737 aircraft, The external shadows on some parts of my aircraft's fuselage didn't appear adequately. (To be more precisely, It was the bottom, center part of the fuselage which connect the body part and the main wing) Well, the other parts are good. For example, the Main Wing, Engine Nacelle, Fuselage and etc. Is this a limitation of the DX10 Fixer? or Did I something wrong with my DX10 se…

Hi, when I switch to DX10 on FSX-SE I have a bluish logo with the inscription Microsoft floating in the sky near the sun, Steve's fixer can solve the problem. I also have the black squares at the street lights, but the fixer fixes it. Greetings
