guys i need your help. i switched to dx10 after updating my nvidia driver to version 337.88 cause andti aliasing doesnt work in this version. with autogen my fps is lower than dx9 mode. but if the autogen is disabled my fps is higher than the dx9 mode. so what it means? is the autogen doesnt work on dx10? sorry for my bad english

hi there, i bought a new pc recently and im now running fSX in DX10 preview. Its up and running and everything is fine, but i have one little problem. The Sim runs 30fps smooth sometimes dropping to 29.6 but thats it.(heavily populated areas are less but im bush flying most of the time anyways) But i have this blue textures appear and disappear while flying. Ill post my specs, my Config and my Setting at the end of the Post, and you would really help me, if you could look over it. Maybe you find something to stop this annoying blue texture. If you have any other suggestions for Settings or tweaks, i will try them too. Im quiete new to tweaking and so on. Befo…

For a friend, in the fence to buy the fixer, could someone confirm that it fixes the problems of the Flight1 GNS 530 ( Reality XP) being displayed on the ground, instead of on the instrument panel when DX10 mode is activated in FSX? Thanks!

Some of you who missed it first time around now have a chance to purchase. http://www.flightsimstore.com/product_info.php?products_id=2630

Good day all. I am wondering if Aerosoft sceneries are compatible with DX10 preview mode. I noticed that textures are missing in all Aerosoft sceneries at night or dusk time. The only airport is fine is EGLL X. That one has no problem. Also all textures look fine at day time. All default sceneries are fine. If I disable SweetFX textures are still missing. Did anybody have same issues and is there a fix for that? (I also posted this issues in Aerosoft forum just in case). DX10 with or without SweetFX Thanks for looking.

why FXAA doesn't work with DX10 thanks for help

Long thread on P3D forum where it seems to be mostly good reactions - curious if anyone has tried these for FSX with DX10 fixer? Please share your observations both positive and negative. Thanks!

Looks like the ASN hotfix has upset my DX10 setup. May do the same to others with DX10 using ASN after the hotfix? Installed last night and DX10fixer complained that something had changed in FSX and I needed to reinstall the fixer which I've now done. Not fully tested yet to see if the flashing has gone. Was fine before the ASN hotfix. Will check tonight. Regards Adam

I just wanted to ask a quick question on Direct X 10 and 9. I've been getting around 20-24 average fps in the PMDG 737 with Direct X 9, and when I use Dx10 with the Fixer by Steve I get an average of 18-20 fps. A few months ago I installed FSX on my new pc and I did immediately started using the Fixer, I was getting 26-33 average fps, but also at the time using Dx9 gave me 15-18 fps? So it's completely the other way round now? I might just reinstall FSX again, that's what they say, reinstall FSX every few months.

Hello, I have read many topics on "how do I get the VC shadows working", including the topics in this forum. I cannot get this right for the NGX and T7. :( In one topic in the DX10 Scenery Fixer forum the final answer is "It works...". :unsure: That is really helping out ! Instead of posting the solution ... Could someone please post a little guide on how to get the VC shadows using the fixer toolbox ? I know we have to use the panel interior.mdl in the toolbox but all I have is the VC.mdl. Would make my day ... and of many others I suppose. Regards.

I recently upgraded my system and in the process am attempting to make the move the DX10. I like both that I get better VAS usage and that some features like light bloom (I like it at night) run with much less performance loss. I've found at some Orbx airports I get black boxes under the parked static jetliners as shown below. These do not appear at all angles (as shown in the second picture) and based on responses to my post in the Orbx forums, those using Steve's DX10 Fixer do not get these. Unfortunately I was too late to the game to get Steve's DX10 Fixer before it was withdrawn from sales. I am using v3.2.3 of the freeware shaders. I thought I'd ask here if any…

I have the full DX-10 fixer version 2.3. Added some new AI models. They display fine at night, dusk and dawn but the planes become invisible during the day. Their lights show in the day (suspended in mid-air). They will show correctly if I disable" Aircraft casts shadow on ground". But I do not want to do that. Does anybody know of a fix for this issue ? Thanks

hey guys, i had the fixer for some while now, i didn't really use it as i never thought much of it. today i was on a flight an i got an oom error after ages. i read from dx9 to dx10 reduces ooms so i want to try it out. i done the switch and deleted all my profiles from catalyst control panel example fsx.exe and fps limiter profiles where i set to override applications setting for aa or so. so i deleted them to start fresh. my next step was to go to dx10 so i did, and clicked 8x on aa in the fixer. in my fsx settings i noticed i had ansio active aa checked and dx 10 preview selected. however my anti aliasing still looks bad, there are so many shimmering on the aircraf…

Hello guysn'gals! - I'm all new to FSX. I made my first install two weeks ago. Now, two weeks later, and after countless of hours of reading on how to get the most out of FSX, I begin to realize the vastness of this topic. It is gigantic. I pretty soon realized there will be no time over for flying if I would test each and every possible tweak I found. With this in mind, I decided to just use the most common and well documented tweaks that was recommended, and pay no attention to the more obscure tweaks. So, I was thinking a good approach would be to just use one of the widely spread basic setup guides that are made available? And I think it looks great. The only thi…

Hey guys; After trying to get used to the lower levels of AA available in DX10, I went on a quest to find better settings. I tried - 4x MSAA + 4x SGAA, which is my current setting. It looks reasonably ok, but the jaggies can be annoying if you look close. - 8x MSAA + 8x SGAA, looks perfect but nobody can run this ;~; - 8x MSAA + 4x SGAA, looks great despite being an incompatible relationship.. but still lags very hard as soon as clouds appear. - 8x MSAA + 8x SSAA, looks perfect, runs smooth in clouds but looks really weird in DX10: textures look like they are lacking anisotropic filtering and get blurry. I suspect this might be caused by my mipmapping o…

Hey Guys and Gals, I know alot of you have been looking for the DX10 how to guide that was taken down. I re hosted it on my drop box for everyone! Enjoy! https://www.dropbox.com/s/f2b8esiozza5hw2/234592995-Dx10-Howto.pdf?dl=0

Hello DX10 experts I am hoping that some of you, could take a look at my setup to see if there is any performance gains that can be made. The reason is because my sim is not feeling "fluid". My FPS seems pretty stable at around the locked 30 FPS, only sometimes dipping to 23-25. So what i am looking for is the fluid feeling. Also i have some white flickering pixels, see the screenshot. I am flying NGX737 to and from major airports in Europe and VFR in the Duke60 in American ORBX-land, its the same performance-feeling in the two scenarios. Hardware: i7-2600k @ 4.5 GTX670 4GB 8GB RAM SSD for FSX 27" @ 2560x1440 + second monitor for "stuff" Software: DX10 fi…

Hi guys I'm quite new to tweaking FSX and DX10 so would appreciate a point being clarified for me. I run FSX in windowed mode on one monitor and have a second identical monitor for other programs like flight planning and charts. I very recently switched to DX10 and notice that although my frame rate is very similar to DX9, it's a lot smoother, so it's like the frame rate has actually increased. But I notice that when I set the frame rate to 'unlimited' in FSX I get about a 25% increase in frames compared to when I have FPS locked to 30. I've been doing my testing at EGLL (UK2000) with lots of AI traffic in the NGX (to simulate basically the most str…

When I load up flight sim it starts out very smooth but after about 5 minutes it becomes a stuttering mess. I am using the usual tweaks, any ideas why it starts fine but degrades over time?

When I setup my computer in DX9 I used the FSmark11 benchmark software in the Avsim library to test the initial virgin build without addons and found it to be a very useful tool. As I installed addons I continued to use it to compare the performance impacts of each addon I installed. After I purchased the DX10 fixer I attempted to use it to compare peformance with DX9 but am experiencing degrading performance scores with every run I perform. To be more specific, with DX9 your first run of a test scenario in FSMARK11 is usually about 5 FPS less than runs after that. To compensate for this, the recommended procedure is to ignore the first run and average the next three.…

:( Hi my name is andrew, i have a some problems with the lights on my aircrafts. On the ground the lights are in position and ok, strobe, landing, position...... When takeoff around 2000 or 3000 feets the lighs disappear, Im using the dx10 on fsx, and i install al the patches or I tried all possible solutions, fixes of dx10 have any idea or solution?? Thanks!!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Hello guys, I'm not sure if this is the place to post this so please correct me if I'm wrong. So basically, I'm trying to switch over to DX10 and It seems I've hit a wall. I get the dreaded nonsensical d3d11.dll crashes. I see that the fix for that is to uninstall "KB2670838", which I have done. It seems that doing that however, has brought a nasty side effect in my FSX: Plane to ground shadows (not self shadows) no longer have anti aliasing... Why? Is there anyway to fix this? I'm using the latest drivers and the bioshock flag for AA is in my NI profile. I'm lost! Any help? Cheers!

Everytime i start FSX with sweetFX . FSX always crash... Is there any fix for this problem? really want SweetFX in DX10 so baaad :(

Hello, im using DX10 with Steves Fixer, latest Version. I thinks it works Perfect für me, but i always can see waves on Rivers and Seas. Also in 10000 meters alt. thats not realistic, so i think. is there a chance to kill the waves only in high level flight (above 2000 meters?)

I was recently forced to switch from windows 8.1 back to windows 7 and everything is working good except for dx10 aa. Using steves dx10 fixer I had dx10 mode working perfectly in 8.1 with aa and great fps. Now in windows 7 using the same settings and software I have lost the aa and have lower fps. Any ideas what on windows 7 is causing this?
