DX-10 Discussions, Hints and Help

Hello, during dusk, dawn and night PAPI lights disappear on most addon airports under different point of views. Also threshold markings, taxiway markings and red lights disappear. on the first picture everything is fine: here you can see the missing lights. I have only changed my viewpoint by some degrees. I also changed the legacy slider by one dot to "scenery" with no success. Especially disappearing PAPI lights are not really funny on approach. Is this problem intended to be fixed with the next update Steve? Regards Chris

Hey guys, Not long ago, I posted here about this issue and recommended not to use sfx w/dx10. For those who might not remember, I said that when using dx10 mode + sfx, there's a problem where SMAA must be turned On or it darkens the whole scene, making your sim unusable. The major annoyance was that you either had to turn off sweetfx completely or stick to SMAA, which although allowing properly lit scene, overrides the perfect dx10 aa settings (causing jaggies) & increasing the load on the gpu. GOOD NEWS! I found the fix! At first, I was pretty sure this is a bug within sfx, and sfx's author CJ looked at me weird when I complained about it. So, here's the …

Hi Steve thanks for the time and effort invested into DX10, much appreciated, but has anyone managed to get good AA be it forced, on dx10. I love the AA in DX9- I have the free Avsim patches installed, and love the benefit DX10 brings, but not having any luck with Nvidia Inpsector. Have read the guides and AA is on in FSX.

Some aircraft do not seem to be able to have cockpit shadows turned on using the toolbox. I would like to start a list of addons that are unable to have the shadowing turned on. Two of mine to start the list, please add others that you have found and workarounds if possible. Eaglesoft CX Eaglesoft CJ1 v2

After I installed Steve's DX10 Fixer 2.2, all contrails appear black. I have 8-bit texture fix unchecked. Anyone else notice this? Any suggestions? Thanks

Is REX4 TD more DX10-friendly than previous REX versions? Horrible performance in clouds was a primary reason I switched back to dx9

In case you didn't catch my post elsewhere. Here is the definitive way of killing the little sod! I'm referring to the situation where you are in fullscreen and have a window open i.e. GPS, on a second monitor. Should you go to windowed mode or move the GPS about (resizing etc.) the window will disappear and the hourglass shenanigans start. Cure: Open another window, such as radio stack, options or any of the shift+#s, move that across to your second monitor and as if by magic the GPS will reappear! Drag it back to the second monitor and turn off the surplus window. Tada! I think the problem is that windows loses focus of the extra window and is desperately t…

Hi All May be of interest use users of ATI cards that want to use Userpools=0 with DX10 but suffer with tearing and artifacts. I have just installed latest release of Radeon Pro and used suggested settings kindly provided here by cvearl http://forum.avsim.net/topic/421849-dx10-fixer-atiamd-aa-and-vsync-guide/ Fingers crossed but left FSX running for 8 hours with NGX ASN and night lighting......much to my suprise when I got back that there was NO tearing or weird object and good framerates!!!!

Hello all, Recently I was talked into going to FSX for the PMDG 777 only (for now). Great airplane I must say. However, I can't seem to get the jaggys and shimmering to go away within FSX (and FS2004 to a lessor extent). At first I thought it was my GPU (GeForce 9800GTX+ 1GB) so I updated to a GeForce GTX 760 SC. However, the jaggy/shimmering is still there and I can't figure out why. Could someone please help? Specs below and click on the video link to see my settings (FSX 2014 DXT10 settings YouTube video used for tweaking). Getting very annoying to say the least, espeically since it seems like nothing I change in the DXT10 fixer seems to work. If we can't solved this…

Is this normal? I'm new to DX10, I have purchased the fixer and set things up I think correctly based on the information I can find, but I get an issue where the picture is kind of "tearing" horizontally. For example if I move the aircraft around I can see kind of horizontal "bands" where the scnerey doesn't quite line up between the top half of the image and the bottom half, where the "tear" is. Really kind of hard to describe in words, I might have to get a picture or video up. Does anyone know what I mean? I'm guessing it's something not quite right in my Inspector setup. Thanks all. Also, this water looks very wrong, really pixellated. Is it just whe…

Hi all I decided to try DX10 now I have a better pc and card, and have also installed the paid version of DX10 fixer. Generally very happy, but I get these random moments when the sim carries on running but minimises and then returns in windowed mode. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated Mat

Hey guys, I've got some problems with my FSX. Unfortunately it is only able to run in DX10 preview mode . I've got an ATI HD7850 installed in my system and the most recent drivers. Every time I fly arround areas where I've got some Addon Scenerys installed like the Mega Airport Berlin Brandenburg BER (EDDB) from Aerosoft/Palm29 I have massive problems with flickering walls of textures. It feels like zero visebility conditions but is really annoying. I can't really perform a good approch into any Airport with this problems. Hope someone has got a solution for this problem to fix. Below are some images as example how it looks in my FSX. Greatings and many happy landings …

Hi everyone i have a problem with preview DX10 mode. when dx10 preview activated fsx does not list gt630m anymore. its working with intel integrated graphic card. Can anyone help?

Just got the Steve dx10 fixer, everything is butter smooth locked at 30fps until I start flying a carenado plane. Is there an obvious setting I'm missing in the fixer program? i5 4670k @ 4.3ghz Gtx 760 16gb ram 1080p res

Hello everybody! So I recently heard about DX-10 and I am clueless to what it is. Is it already installed with the default version of FSX? Do you have to install it? What difference does it make, and if it does, is it worth it? Are there any problems with it? Does it improve performance? Thanks for your help! Matt

Pretty much as the title says. I get terrible blurries when travelling at these speeds. Case in point; my new A2A P51D purchase. I don't think I'm hitting any bottlenecks as it happens in framerate friendly areas - often my framerate is well over 60fps and I'm still suffering blurries. Have to pause to let it catch up, or slow right down. How can I remedy this? FSX is running on an SSD. DX10 mode with fixer UsePools=0 AffinityMask=14. FFTF=0.4 (tried 0.1 - 0.4) No other tweaks. EDIT: Just had a thought. Should I use the in-game fps limiter? Would that help?

Hi I am thinking of switching over to DX10 from DX9 I have bought the fixer from Steve. Are there any things that I need to know before I switch for example cfg changes for airports etc. I also have FT OMDB and I heard that the PAPI lights are in a red box. Thanks

I purchased the DX10 fixer on Sunday 5/11/14 and installed it and today I received an email stating v2.2 has just released. I checked the version I had installed and it is version 2.2 Build 45. Do I have the latest version or do I need to download it again? thanks

Hi all, I've still one problem that's holding me from enable dx10 for good. I've done some tests which shows that the performance with dx10 in clouds is really bad. Some results: Same situation default cessna EHAM 1500ft Both rex clouds 512x512 dxt5 (just for this test) Both 3 layers created cumulus 6/8, 7/8, 5/8 with 10nm vis. dx9 AA is 8xS and 2xSGSS gpu load 74% constant 30 fps 730mb vram dx10 2x SGSS which is even worse AA quality in relation to dx9. 4x SGSS equals 8xS 2x SGSS dx9 gpu load 97 - 99% (stutter) 15 - 20 fps 738mb vram Does someone has some contact with the guy who made this fantastic shader fixes? I really like to …

Hi I have recently installed and set up Steve's DX-10 Fixer and it all seems to be running quite well and smoothly. Unfortunately however, I have a problem with one of my favourite airfields to fly from (EICN) in that there is a black opacity running right along a hedgerow on the airfield perimeter. It looks like this black opacity runs through an area which otherwise should be transparent (ie between the vegetation which makes up the hedgerow) but I have no idea how to remedy this and it makes the whole perimeter look like it is surrounded by a high black fence. I have been through the manual and searched the forums but cannot find a solution. I am sorry I have not p…

Hi again, I've done a load of research, testing, tweaking on cfg.'s and NI settings and still can's seem to stop this weird white flash on the water. Everything runs smooth on the default flight until I turn the trike, then the water flashes white and the stuttering begins. I also get freezes of about 5 seconds occasionally when i try another flight in the PMDG 737. It's extremely frustrating as when its not stuttering it's the smoothest I've ever seen my fsx, and would be extremely grateful for any ideas on how to solve it. I haven't seen this as a specific bug anywhere on any forum and tried everything i've read on various forums relating to stutters but j…
