DX-10 Discussions, Hints and Help

Folks, I've been reading about DX10 and how it may help solve OOM issues. I plan to purchase the DX10 Fixer, but would like to know if the software is a one-step tool, or if I will need to make ano other changes to my FSX.CFG file, Nvidia Inspector, etc... I have the FS Guide to DX10, but it seems to be more aligned to folks that are not using the fixer. I'm grateful for any advice. Cheers! Busdriver

Hi! I don't know when this problem appeared, but it seems like aerosoft airports like Amsterdam and Arlanda for instance disappears at dusk/night/dawn. At bright day light, however, they are present. Animated airport vehicles on the other hand do not disappear. I tried setting the fixer back to DX9 and then the airport reappeared again. Anyone else had this problem? I don't seem to have it with Gardemoen X, Bergen X, Helsinki X for instance, only Arlanda X and Amsterdam Shiphol.

Hi all! [sOLVED] Im using Steve FX DX10 Scenery Fixer for FSX and i have a little problem with it. The light on some airports starts to flicker and goes wild and crazy at the night. Especially old airports example Aerosoft Stockholm Arlanda X. I believe this is a pretty normal problem and i have read the manual but i can't find an solution. Here are some screenshots; http://gyazo.com/b8a149e5d0a1d137160afd8bc1e49f02 http://gyazo.com/5928b9b7360744e0bb212abc1c2f62e6 Do someone know how to fix this problem? Cheers /Jacob

I know there are a few who do use BT RV7. Pilot does not show during the day. I only see the headset. At dusk she re-appears. I do have the dx10 enabled in the BT RV7 configurator. Any ideas?

A lot of people fly FS with 3 monitors. A common known issue with widescreen monitors are the side distortion effect on the left and right monitors. While searching the AVSIM forums, it appears that a solution to this problem is in development for Prepar3D called Prepp3D. I'm not sure how it works but I think it involves some work with shaders. I think the DX10 Fixer does something with shaders as well. However I was wondering if anyone know if a possible solution to this distortion problem can be implemented using the DX10 Fixer? I did find one video on YouTube of someone flying 3 widescreen monitors and he had no side distortion. The user in the video says that he o…

FSX users, I have seen so much P3D talk i felt this was warranted. Can you run DSR and DX10 in FSX without the fixer? If so what are the settings that seems to offer the best visuals. Thanks for any and all input guys.

Good morning everyone, with DSR being such a huge development and Steve's fixer back on the market it is hard to keep up with all of the developments. What is everyone doing nowadays? Are you guys running DSR at 2 or 4x resolution with Steve's fixer in DX10? If so does the guide at simouthouse reflect this? I am just trying to catch and wonder what everyone is doing. Thanks guys. Angelo

I just did a quick flight using Carenado's SR22 and noticed that only the Landing Lights have squares. The 337, A36, and PC12 look great! I asked Carenado for help and their response was: "Greetings, We don't have more reports about this issue, you may try changing the DX10 setting in FSX, this may solve the problem. Regards Carenado Support" I was wondering is someone in the community had any tips on how to fix these square landing lights. Thanks. Jose

Hi - I have been enjoying Steve's Fixer for the past few weeks and haven't had any major problems....until today that is! I was in some rain at an airport and was getting intermittent black flashes every 5-10 seconds. Once I climbed up out of the precip it stopped. I never saw this in DX9 in all my years in FSX so I assume this may be DX10 related. I pulled up an older thread from a year ago where someone had a similar problem but appeared to be no resolution. Figured I would check in to see if there is something I need to do in order to resolve. It happens in snow as well. I also noticed as I started flying in the rain or snow I was getting a bright flashing ball ah…

Hi i miss papi lights on aerosoft lgir lgts and lszh. How can i fix this? Papi lights do work at night.

I completely deleted, and reinstalled FSX few days ago, but this time I went for SP1 + SP2 install. No Acceleration this time. I switched to DX10 mode using the Fixer, and it's running really good (performance wise), with locked frames @ 30 in nvidia Inspector. But these microstutters are very annoying in DX10 mode, every half second/second per stutter. In DX9 mode I saw microstutters, but they are rare, every few seconds maybe. I'm running FSX in windowed mode, with windows aero theme (aero.bat started via FSUIPC), because without aero theme FPS is 50% lower, very weird. I've read DX10 Notes.pdf yesterday, changed some settings in Inspector and fsx.cfg, but the stutt…

Hey guys I've literraly fallen in love with this a/c. Tried on Prepar3D 2.4 but all knobs and switches don't work in VC, only 2d. VC in Prepar3D 2.4 is something stunning due to VC shadows. So I tried to activate them in FSX using DX10 fixer without success. Where I mistake? If I tried to modify via DX10 tool the .mdl file I got the msg "legacy file" or somethig similar and can't go on any further. Why in Prepar3D 2.4 VC shadows work fine and in FSX no? Thanks so much in advance.

Hello, I've this problem with pmdg 777 vc light (digital clock version, so the problem is on the analog clock area): http://imageshack.com/a/img540/5030/ao9nz9.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img913/9058/BM5ial.jpg I've the latest Steve's DX10 fixer. Any tip? Thanks in advance.

Hello guys, I am trying as many of you I suppose to find the best settings for my system. My system consists of an Hydrocooled i5 3540k processor, overclocked at 4.4Ghz, 8GB of RAM and a Gigabyte GTX970 G1 GPU. I should also note that I use TrackIR 5 and ASN. I am running FSX DX10 using Steve's fixer. I usually fly PMDG's and Aerosoft's airliners and use FTXG and add-on mesh terrain. I use the ''How-to'' to set everything up. The problem is that when using complex add-on sceneries and especially newest Heathrow Xtended I get many stutters. During turns when on taxi and especially when looking to my left after takeoff the stuttes are very bad. So, I realised…

Do you guys find that using Shadows in the VC (DX10 Fixer) smashes your FPS? I'm not sure if this is normal or if I'm having a problem.

Hi all I'v bin using DX10 for a while now but still having issue's with lights on FTX's only. I thought it was still an issue, but reading a latest topic, Jim "Firehawk44" said that it is all fixed, I restored the HLSL file and reapplied the fix and it actually fixed my issue with UTX's lights where it was constantly flashing, but it didn't fix FTX's lights. I noticed when on a certain camera view it's fine but when I start panning the other way, lights starts flashing. Just to make it clear, here is a short clip of UTX+FTX with lights on, notice UTX lights vs FTX's and also like mentioned when I am at that certain view(0:21-0:30), its perfectly fine, but when I s…

Hi I'm pretty happy with the way FSX runs on my pc using DX9 and I recently purchased the DX10 fixer as i have been thinking about going the DX 10 route. I have a few questions that I hope someone can answer for me. I already use Nvidia Inspector for my GTX770 card. Is it easy to set up? What are the advantages of running in DX10? And can I switch between DX9 and DX10? kind regards

Hi all, I have been lurking on these forums and never really posted, but have been following a lot of topics here. A great wealth of information to be seen here. Ok, on to the topic.... I was just looking over at the Strikingsoftware site and saw that they now have a DX10 compatable version (not the "Lite" version) called "FS Water Configurator Public Preview". I was just wondering if any members here have tried it in DX10 yet? I am at work right now and I'm really excited to see how well this update works. If no one posts by the time I get home I will install it and play with it a bit and upload pics of my results. For those wanting to give…

Hi. When I first purchased the DX10 fixer 2.4 I noticed alot of yellow squares on Aerosofts Gardemoen X (see pictures below). I sorted this put by unticking the V2.0 Transparency logic under legacy options within the fixer. So everything worked out perfectly afterwards. http://imgur.com/fdD2869 http://imgur.com/Egl5PTw Then a couple of days I ago I got a new problem when I bought FlyTampa Copenhagen. I posted in their forum and got a quick response that this was DX10 related. So, I tried to tick the V2.0 Transparency logic box again and strange enough, the problem with this scenery disappeared (see picture below, this is with the V2.0 Transparency logic UN…

I'm running Steve's FX Fixer and using the instructions, I've been able to get VC shadows working in the PMDG 777. I love the effect and Steve's software. However, I have a strange issue when using TrackIR: namely the shadows move around when I move my head even when the plane is not moving. It's as if the light source in the VC is moving with TrackIR Any one else have this experience? Bill Rowe

Can DX 10 user please share the best settings to get VC Shadows to look like the Shadows on the default airplanes. I'm using the CFG tweak. Shadows do show up on my favorite airplanes (Lancair, Duke, L39 etc.) But, they appear with some jaggies on the shadow edges. Thanks! Jose

Hi everyone! I`ve been using the 2.4 version of the fixer now ever since it was released, but sadly, I`m not experiencing less OOMs than before. Yes, it fixes a ton of other problems that pleases me, but still on short flights with lowered settings - Crash. This is probably some of the most important settings to consider: - Cloud resolution - 1024 - Autogen density - normal - Water effects - low - Texture resolution - 7 cm - LOD radius - 4.5 The only tweaks I have is BP=0, FFTF=0.15 and of course HIGHMEMFIX=1. When I run FSX with these settings with FPS slider set to unlimited I get a mind-blowing performance, compared to having it locked to 30 FPS. So of …

Hi All, I have been a very happy DX10 user for quite some time. I would love to add some AI to get a little more realism. In the past I have tried AI and all it did was drag my system down. Can anyone recommend a good AI package that is stable under DX10. I have no problems paying for a commercial package. I have a pretty powerful rig which was built purely with FSX in mind. Without any AI traffic FSX is smooooth as silk and I am hoping with the right package and sensible settings I can add some AI without bringing my FPS into single numbers Any advice would be most appreciated Richard

although the shadow map seems to be a little lacking, the shadows do indeed add to the sense of motion. the dynamic range of the shadows in dx10 is limited compared to what i see on p3d but not bad... http://youtu.be/vTmRJfJm5_s
