DX-10 Discussions, Hints and Help

Last time i tried DX10, the water colour was a horrible milky blue, especially in Orbx regions (SFO bay etc). Does the payware fixer 'fix' this issue?

Hi, I've been wondering if it's possible to force/cheat FSX to display shadows at/after dusk, or is it a hard-coded "switch" that flips between day and night? One great thing about P3D2 is that it generates shadows at all times of day, while FSX stops a few minutes after dusk. Tym

Has anyone being in the cockpit of an real airplane and discovered the speed descending in the clouds ? Does not feel the same way in simulation though allthough REX4 seems better to me in the NGX for instance, Michael

For info: There is a new comment from Steve Parsons regarding VC shadows and legacy A/C, pls. see here: http://stevesfsxanalysis.wordpress.com/2014/10/23/new-fsx-setting-forcevcshadowmap/

hello avsim community! im in need of some help.. and require the vast knowledge of this great community to maybe find a solution to this problem.. so i just bought the Leonardo Maddog MD80 (love this aircraft and read a lot about it before i bought the thing) i use Steves DX10 fixer v2.3 and ive read up that people have used the maddog with no issues except some VC white box's in the cockpit but thats fixed by moving the legacy slider all the way to aircraft instead of balanced. i don't have that particular problem..i have a exterior cockpit problem.. its very tiny but it just kills the immersion for me when i want to look outside the aircraft and enjoy it for what it is.…

I'm seriously considering purchasing the new DX10 fixer and making the switch! I just noticed when i enabled the stock DX10 preview box that some of my payware planes went "white" with no textures. They are the just flight DC10 and the just flight 767 and my 2004 wings of power that i ported over from Fs9 into FSX. I fly these planes regularly and would be sad if the fixer wont Fix this. My gut feeling is telling me they are "legacy" and will need a patch from the developers, which i have not seen on their websites. Thanks for any advice! …

Hi all! I decided I wanted to try the DX10SF. I became so frustrated with OOM I just had to give it a try. However, I've been using SweetFX in normal DX9 mode forever and Im very pleased with this setting http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/330/ which gives FSX a more natural look instead of the bright greyish look, especially during daytime. When I apply SweetFX in DX10 mode, I can observe that the correct colour appears when the aircraft (spinning in the menu) is jagging/lagging in the start. But after a few seconds the aircraft stops jagging, but the colour changes into a very dark mode and seems to loose all its anti-aliasing. Are there any fixes towards this…

hello, 've bought again a new Aircraft addon. The Cocpit shadow of last Carenado projects were really fantastic. Now I could not believe that in the new Pilatus PC12 no shadows are possible? I think the model series of HD Carenado comes from a single designer crew. So can not believe that now no shadows in Cocpit are in the PC12. Even with a second addon (Alabeo-DA40) I now have no Cocpit shadow. Depends perhaps together with the installation of the new DX10 Fixer Version 2.40. Maybe someone has encountered these problems? Regards, Bernd

Gentlemen, As a recent convert to Dx10, I was doing some AA tests using the fixer settings and Nvidia Inspector's SGSS settings. I found that my gtx480 has a hard time dealing with SGSS and heavy clouds when using the dx10 preview. Without clouds, it's beautiful! This has always been a know issue, but can the new video card (gtx780) perform better with 8x & 8SGSS. This is the sweet spot for shimmer free simulation. I found that 32x & 2SGSS works well but performance still dips into the 20s and the sim becomes choppy approaching certain airports. This is with a BP=40000 and water setting of h1X. Water=5. I've tried with BP=0 but did not see a perfor…

Hi All I have been getting lower FPS with PMDG 777 - 300 ER, which is around 19-22fps. I have currently set 31 in fsx.cfg (in the sim) and have set vertical sync 1/2 refresh rate at 30 in nVidia inspector. I am thinking of setting it to 21 in fsx.cfg and 1/3 in nvidia inspector (i.e. 20). Will this help with a smoother flight ?. My rig is 5 years old :-). Specs i7-920 @ 3.8GHz with Hyperthreading enabled 2x64 GB SSD, OS and FSX nVidia GTS 660 2GB Thanks Hari

Hello folks & hope you're well, I am using the External FPS limiter which give me more frames in my FSX. and also I use the refresh rate of STANDARD & 1/2REFRESH RATE inside my NVI which is required to utilizing the Vsynce Smoothness. The quistion is, Does I need to add the ForceFullScreenVsync=1 to my FSX or its not important ? I need the advice because I think if I add this line will telling FSX to use Its Vsync, not through NVI !!!! could I get the help please ? Thx

I had somme issues with traffic at DX10! I need help!

Hi there, Can anyone suggest a fix to remove the black squares around lights as per the screenshot below. This only occurs in DX10 and only in FSX (its fine in P3D) on Aerosofts Heathrow Extreme. I have asked on their forums and no one else is getting the problem so it must be something at my end I guess. nvidia GTX770 with 4GB I have tried various drivers from 337.88 to the most current and all have the same problem. As you can see even the lights on the runway have the same issue.

Hi all - I finally decided to try Steve's DX10 fixer over the weekend, although I have been pretty happy with my DX9 setup. I went through the manual and the Avsim DX10 guide and set up FSX and Nvidia Inspector as recommended. A couple issues I am having that I immediately noticed: - Much, much longer VC texture load times when switching views - There is a sun glare effect that looks fantastic but when I turn towards it, it flashes/flickers. This was around sunset. - AI lights seem to be visible but then all randomly disappear at the same time. I am using Shockwave lights on all the AI aircraft so assumed they would not have the disappearing issue...? - …

The dx 10 fixer is a great example of how FSX became better through one mans efforts. I think that if Steve can fix dx10 to such a high degree than I believe that he is probably able to give us all the cloud shadows we have always wanted in fsx. How about it Steve? I have all the confidence in you. Can it be done?

Good day all. I've been trying to reduce bloom effect and so far not much progress. It started after installing DX10 payware version. In many airports RWY lights too bright and it looks almost solid strip of lights. Also I have flashing blue taxiway lights at some airports. I tried to move sliders in Lights tab but no difference. Bloom effect enabled in FSX. Another problem. I see road lights and sometimes runway lights are elevated way off the surface. Sometimes road lights cover clouds :huh: I use FTX Global lights tool and REX 4 texture architect for lights. Not sure where do I have to do more tweaks. Lights in REX and FTX are set to small values…

Hi, Currently in the transition between DX9 and DX10, I´ve been able to get very good Anti-Aliasing with the DX10 fixer and NVidia Inspector. The next step is trying to improve bloom, colors and contrast like I used to have in DX9 with ENB. I started using SweetFX and, while working nicely for colors, it´s totally ruining the AA I´ve set before. The scenery is jagged , shimmering and without definition. I´ve already tried a fix for turning off SMAA, but still to no avail. It seems like SweetFX is overriding the AA and I can´t disable this feature. Any ideas will be appreciated Thanks!

For some time I have had the issue whereby the taxi and landing lights have been out of sync, as seen from the spot or tower views, ( lights appear away from the actual landing light source) Last evening I updated the A2A 172 and during the installation it ask do you wish to enable the lights to illuminate the ground, which I ticked. During a flight today I thought I had an issue with none mouse clicks which the installer warns you about so I re-ran the installer for the update and ticked disable the effects for ground illumination. During a flight this evening I noticed the issue had resolved itself. As this issue has been mentioned in other post it would be helpful …

Hi! I came over this "Shader Release v.3.2.2 today", so I installed it. Now I can't press the "Shadows", "Bloom" or "Other" options in the DX10 controller (v2.4). Is this supposed to happen?

Hi every one!. I am really enjoying cockpit shadows thanx to Steve and the fixer I have a quick question. Is there any way I can get the cockpit shadows in my A2A cub, my Real air duke v.2, and my Aerosoft twotter extended.??? If possible I may not leave the house for a few months !

Hi all, Im trying to get my nav lights working with my traffic x and dx10 scenery fixer. I have the strobe lights working but in the mytraffic x aircraft config it only has the fx for the strobes and not the nav lights. Where are the files for the nav effects in mytraffic? Thanks Ollie

Last call for oppinions. I am really convinced that friend of mine with an ATI HD 6970 could benefit from Steve's fixer. He is still in DX9, has a zillion of add-on aircraft, secnery, mesh, etc...., in a 128 GB install of FSX!!! and is very affraid of running into problems... Any of you with such a graphics board? Suggestions? Thx guys!

This comes up a lot "no shadows in the PMDG 737NGX" so I am posting what I think is the reason why we can get shadows on the 7373NGX but we can get shadows on all other PMDG aircraft. The 737NGX will not work I believe because it has a giant box out side the VC. If you sit in the VC and slew out with CTRL+entre until your out side and then look back you will see the box. It might be to protect there HUD tech or is required by the HUD to work.
