DX-10 Discussions, Hints and Help

Hi all, I have just gone back to flying in the UK from Middle East, where I was getting a nice steady 30 FPS (airports & and in the air) with little if any micro stutters, but for some reason I can never get good FPS when in the UK, when at EGLL or EGKK getting no more than 6 FPS and the rest of the UK around 10 FPS, I know EGLL is bit of of killer, but with traffic down, no cars etc.. any ideas why and how I can fix/tweaks? Many thanks for any help,support or ideas you can offer... if you need any more info, let me know. System: Windows 7 64bit AMD FX4100 4.00ghz Ram 16gb NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Addons (when flying in the UK) FTX Global & Vectors…

Hi, I recently unchecked the DX-10 preview box in FSX (back to dx-9) so I could use Enbseries again. Soon after I realized that I really really wanted DX-10 back. I was about to check the DX-10 preview box again when I noticed there was no box for it anymore. I am wondering if there is any way to get DX-10 back in FSX after the box is unchecked?

Hi all, The windows of my POSKY 777 VC's is no longer transparent. The glass is colored blue and I can't see through it. I used to have this working so I believe this could be because I recently switched to DX10. I'm using DX10SceneryFixer. I tried Googling this issue but no real matches. Does this sound familiar/anyone have a suggestion to fix it? Pity not to use these beautiful addon aircraft anymore! Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi All I have been using DX10 mode for many years but I have one bug every time I close FSX the app stays on the taskbar for a few seconds and all the apps on my desktop go blank then come back on has anyone got a fix for this thanks in advance

Hi, I installed FS X on Windows 7 64bit, direct on C:/ (not in Program Files) and and did the following modifications: activated DX10 with SteveFX DX10 activator copied all sweetfx 1.5 files into the FS X directory installed FlightFX and activated sweetfx And now, when I start FSX I get the message, that some programm files are missing. I have to deactivate sweetfx in FlightFX to get FSX started. I appreciate any help!!

Anybody knows how dx10 is working together with the Sun glare effect tweak? Do I have to try or avoid it?

Just made a big leap of faith and moved from FS9 to FSX. I am not a happy camper yet as I have OOM problems, whcih I am educating myself on in the various forums. One thing I came across was "DX10". I have absolutely no clue about how computers work and what is under the hood of FSX, I just understand that there are settings menus and that moving the sliders to the left will improve performance. So: what is DX10? I have read that it may solve OOM problems, but also that it causes other problems. If someone could give me a layman's answer to what DX10 is and what the pros and cons are of running it. My setup: FSX with SP2 Lots of add-on airports (…

Hi all, I was getting different types of clouds under DX9. Since using DX10 Fixer I've been getting just one type of cloud, flat and grey. Is there a problem using REX4 Direct with DX10 fixer? Is there a setting I missed using NI or DX10 Fixer? I appreciate any help. Francisco

After attempting to get REX to run with FSX/Acceleration/DX-10 after a message reading "REX Essential Plus has stopped working" comes up, I may have caused a further problem. When I run FSX and any area most of the autogen buildings have vanished except for the roofs! At first I suspected .net may be the problem so I reinstalled the latest version but this has not improved anything. Any help or advice with these problems will be appreciated.

Hey avsim So I finally enabled dx10 preview in fsx and followed the guide here http://mutleyshangar.com/reviews/bc/dx10/dx10.htm, as well as forum.avsim.net/topic/421849-dx10-fixer-atiamd-aa-and-vsync-guide/. However when I am flying i get some artifacts such as http://i.imgur.com/OMoRhrP.jpg. Is this normal or am i doing something wrong

So I have a SFX file I love during the day, its just perfect, but I'd like to have a SweetFX file for nighttime....too make things way way darker, does anyone know what setting I should adjust to make the night darker? Cheers!

Hello I have DX10 on my system I booted fsx up but the resolution or something is not right. There are circles on the PFD after I put the right resolution on in the sim settings 1920x1080x32 ? http://i.imgur.com/ZQK78CF.jpg Cheers guys :

I recently purchased the Airbus Collection: Long Haul from JF. This was a CLS plane initially. Having a problem with the FSX A330/340 with total grey windshields - front as well as side views. The 2D panel has greyed side panels only. Was wondering if this is a DX10 problem or some other texture or panel problem. I have tried changing the legacy in the fixer with no impact. The outside and the rest of the interior are just fine. Checked the AVSIM, CLS and JF forums which a few have indicated similar problems but no solution was given. Appreciate any help, Thanks,

Using 4 x sparse grid supersampling in nvidia insp.Right now my FIXEr is 8 csaa.... which AA shall I use in DX Fixer?. How do I determine which one I choose in FIXER, compared to the NI setting?? Chris from Denmark

Yes Steve's Fixer fix portovers in DX10! I can now fly my favourite portovers in FSX! But there is a slight glitch I cannot solve... Help wanted... Glass cockpit is missing, inside or out... Sometimes it's no big deal, sometimes it's a show stopper. Any idea? Here's some screen captures that says it all... This is Roy Chaffin's RCS B25J. Lots of cockpit glass..., all lost in DX10, and it shows... Here in DX9 Same in DX10: Virtual Cockpit in DX9: VC in DX10 All FS9 portovers seems to be affected. It's not a texture issue, I tried many hacks with the alpha layer, useless... Here's the Samdim An 30 in DX9... ...and in …

Hi all, I just recently observed a strange phenomenon with my FSX at some airports. I lose performance over time. As you can see on the first screenshot, shortly after firing FSX up, I have almost 20FPS at LFPG (Aerosoft scenery) with AI traffic. I can live with that. But then, the performance gradually decreases... After just two minutes, the FPS are down to 15. Without doing anything, just sitting there and waiting: Then, after another 2-3 min, the performance is down to roughly 11FPS and stays there. No matter what I do (except flying out). What could that be? I turned off my AI traffic after reaching 11FPS, it did not restore the FPS at …

Hi. All though i normally run FSX unlimited i was experimenting with the limiter in NI.Flying PNW CYVR from FSDT in the NGX made some stunning results in terms of smoothneeth. I had FPS locked at 58 and was getting around 25-30 fps with short drops to 20 but very very smooth. Autogen was Very Dense and lod at 5.5 The only problem holding me from using this is the massive fps drop when undocking displays and moving them to a second monitor. Anyone who has overcome this? Unlimited i normally gets a 3fps reduction Limited is cutting half and all down to 8fps Thanks Michael

I thought it might be a good idea to start the thread, and maybe Jim will pin it, (please!) leaving it open for addition - rather than having to find the odd airport that was mentioned in a string of unrelated posts, like "DX9 Sux bigtime!" or "No Traffic at Pyong-Yang Muni". Please add your "finds" and DX10-friendly" Vendors as you come across them.. Tx. I'll start the ball rolling with this bunch! FS DreamTeam: Here. KLAX, KJFK, KDFW, GSX SimAddons: Here. All!

Hello all :-) Have 3 monitors- and Titan GPU, but what about the future for Steves Fixer? Using 8xcsaa and 4 grid sparse sup. Think somtimes the flickering is much in the airports with runways and other stuff. Using 8x and 8 grid sparse sup. .My fps dont drop, but some clouds at the sky- makes fps drops.. think I have low settings for sky- Will there be a solution for that in the future? ? And what about OOM, think so many developers are making so many excitements scenerys, but is beeing harder and harder to the memory.. Are some companys looking for a OOM solution fot the FSX future ? Chris from Denmark:-)

Hi. I have problems with the lights in the cockpit not rendered on the overhead panel and also pretty bad on the pedestal. I have used the DX10 toolbox and tagged the aircraft. cfg. Moving the legacy slider has no effect. Is it my setup or is it just normal with the Leonardo Maddog? Thanks Michael

In tweaking my sim I've found that I get much better FPS in and around busy addon airports in the NGX/Aerosoft A320 when I run unlimited vs locking at 30. I know this goes against the grain of the common consensus as to what is 'right' so just wondered whether there are any issues with running at unlimited that I need to be aware of? To test this I have a test flight where I'm flying into Aerosoft PANC (on top of ORBX Alaska) in the NGX in a thunderstorm. With locked at 30 I get 11-15FPS on short final, with unlimited I get 17-21, which makes quite a noticeable difference in terms of smoothness.

So I bit the bullet and bought the "academic" licence for Prepar3D. Why? I was sold by the promise of "non-popping" autogen and cloud shadows. I also liked the idea of P3D being continually updated and improved. I've had v2.2 for a couple of weeks now and am tempted to remove it and get a refund. YES autogen doesn't pop and YES there are cloud shadows which are pretty but as they say "nothing in life is free" and my poor old FPS is suffering a bit especially with "Tesselation" switched on (with it off it's much smoother). Now A2A have released their wonderful looking Cherokee and I want it. But I've noticed you can't have one copy to work in both sims unl…

After reading this thread http://forum.avsim.net/topic/442239-another-affinity-cores-trick/ I wondered if the same would apply to FSX. I have spent the last hour testing to see if it does. My opinion, it does. I now have balanced CPU usage on all cores. To test, put fsx in window mode, do a three finger salute, windows task manager will appear. Select process tab, and highlight fsx *32. Right click and in menu, select affinity. Untick CPU 0 Press OK, and close all except fsx. Bring up the task manager again, and go back in to affinity and put a tick back in the box CPU 0. To test you are getting results, click on performance tab, and bottom right…

I have an FS9 plane that I'd like to be able to use if I switch to DX10 once Steve's fixer comes out. It works fine in DX10 if I use the demo of Addon Converter X. If not I get some missing textures. It sounds like the DX10 fixer will do what Addon Converter X does (mostly converts textures, I think) plus a whole lot more. Is that correct? That would be great if it it's true, since it's only one product to buy instead of two. Or maybe the answer to my question is "Don't know yet. Wait until the fixer is released." If that is the case, that's fine...

Hi, to be able to run in dx10 do I just install the dx10 fixer and that's it, or do I also have to set up nvidia inspector as instructed in the dx10 guide Thanks, jim
