Maybe is a nonsense, but maybe not, and give some clues to the people who really knows about graphics issues. Is very well known that one of the "problems" with DX10 is the AI or network traffic not appearing properly. Are the "white" planes. But something annoying has happened to me at least two times. Once connected I saw perfectly the traffic liveries (remember one TAROM taxiing and one VARIG) and only later they become white. I do not understand why this happens, or if this happens when more planes are charged and then one livery is not displayable and provoke all of them changing to white. Make this comment in other thread but has happened again and I give it en…

While circling the tall buildings of downtown Denver at close range in the default C172 some of the buildings would suddenly disappear and then reappear. This would happen repeatedly as I moved my view very slightly using TrackIR5. The buildings doing this where intersperesed among all the buildings, ie, they were not just all to one side or the other, etc. FPS at the time was constant at 30, and GPU-Z reported a GPU load of around 25% and that the GPU was only using about 500MB of the 2GB of memory available (does this mean the GPU is waiting on the CPU?). This happends both with Usepools =0 and Usepools =1. My setup is an i5 @4.4GHz, GTX 660 GPU, DX10 Fixer/NI setup …

can someone give me a spam and virus free link, every site I go to trys to give me everything except nividia inspector. The ones from the guru3d.com are broken Thankyou Lar

Hey guys! I've tried switching to DX10 in the past before Steve's DX10 fixer was around and at that time there were some major issues making me go back to DX9. However I'm now considering a second attempt switching to DX10 mainly because of the improved memory and VAS management after having severe OOM issues with the newly released Aerosoft Thessaloniki. If I understood things correctly usually you will have much less OOM issues running in DX10 vs DX9? The major issues I had running DX10 last time were IVAO MTL online traffic showing up all in white with no textures many of my payware addon airports showed up with strange colored terminal buildings and someti…

I tried DX10 on my system a while before installing a new SSD and found performance was worse for me than with DX9. It may have just been my imagination but I felt that DX9 had been affected when I switched back. I want to give DX10 another chance with my new install of FSX but I also want to make sure that I can return back to exactly the same DX9 that I had before if DX10 doesn't work for me again. Which files does the DX10 preview modify? I have a full backup of FSX but I don't want to have to replace everything, just the files that are changed.

Another texture anomaly under DX10..this time at Aerosoft's Corfu X control tower glows bright....see screenshot below. The same problem with tower exists in P3Dv2 as well. I have posted on Aerosoft's forum but they are not keen on responding to DX10 issues. Anybody else have this issue at LGKR in DX10 mode? Possible fix?

Is anyone using FlightFX to inject SweetFX into FSX? I discovered it on the Rise of Flight forum (here:- http://riseofflight.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=278&t=34103 ) And now use it with all my flight sims and ARMA3. Amazing little tool.

Been playing around a bit with the water in DX10 and what I would like to know is does the normal water setting in FSX behave differently when in DX10 mode or will it have the same effect as in DX9 that for instance all 2x settings will only affect what is reflected in the water? Or will the water setting also affect waves etc when running DX10? I did some testing and I couldn't spot any difference but still I'm not sure if everything is working the way it should because I tried manually changing the direction of the wind which I thought would also change the direction of the waves but it didn't or at least the change was minor. What water settings are you guys us…

Fellow simmers, I have an interesting finding, if I can call it that. I have been monitoring the VAS usage and interestingly when I fly and then Minimize the FSX window My VAS usage is stable, not growing to reach OOM, but If I let the window stay unminimize the for sure it will reach OOM. So to do a complete flight I need to climb until ToC and minimize FSX window and then after reaching ToD I continue the flight I have tried it with both window mode and full screen. My specs are i7 2600K @4.1 Ghz Asus ATI 7870, latest driver (not beta) 8 Gb RAM @ 1600Mhz Software during the test: FSX with DX 10 PMDG T7 Opus FSDT: KJFK, CYVR, KORD REX FTXG F…

Hello Under DX10 Preview mode with the Steve's DX10 fixer enabled, I am getting texture problem at light posts at Aerosoft's Zurich airport. Legacy slider is fully left. Anybody else with the same problem? Any fix available from our community members? Much appreciated!

Well after some considerable effort and help from the members here I have stabalised my graphics but have decided to buy nvidea card as had to go back to userpools=1 to avoid tearing. This was a flight to Cardiff over the weekend in grim weather thanks to ASN.

Hi all, I have been watching with delight and dismay in how the different developers have reacted to the release of Steve's amazing DX10 Scenery Fixer. Top prize goes to FlyTampa for their immediately available fixes and solutions, as well as their newly released St. Maarten gem. I have to say that I am bitterly disappointed at how some of the most well known and respected developers such as Orbx and 29Palms have handled the DX10 Scenery Fixer release. Many Orbx airports have numerous unsolved DX10 issues, and simple fixes for the grass at Cardiff (EGFF) and Siletz Bay (S45) have still not been given to the community. 29Palms created a wonderful Skiathos X add-on,…

HI guys, I just flew this flight from Birmingham to Zurich. All the textures at the start of the flight were normal (although the sky looks very bland, which may also be a problem lol) until i broke through the clouds on final and my ground textures looked this... Im running in DX10 Preview Mode and have REX, UTX Europe, ORBX Global, ORBX England and Mega Airport Zurich. Any ideas?? Thanks

I see references to DX10 being able to off-load some CPU workload to the GPU. Is this true? Does having a 1, 2, 3, or 4GB card make a difference? I ask this as I keep having OOM dings and eventual closing of FSX. I do have a GTX-680 with 2GB of memory. Does that mean I should have 4GB of VAS and another 2GB for FSX to play with giving me 6GB total for FSX? Would a 4GB card be the answer? Sure, I could turn some things down, and have, but I was just wondering? Also, I see no difference in Bufferpools being in my CFG or not with or without usepools=0; maybe I don't have something set right? When I load FSX; Process Manager show over 3GB of VAS to start and…

I'm reluctant to grab every new driver release that comes out since many have given me headaches, but I've read that this may be a desirable version to be running. Any experience good or bad with this version? Thanks! Edited to add: using a GTX 680 GPU here

Hi all, I'd like to see if it's possible to tweak the drawing of terrain objects (mainly trees) in the distance. Currently, I can see trees almost pop into view as I fly and it's a little annoying. Don't get me wrong, it's not terrible but if there's a simple tweak or adjustment I can make I'd like to give it a go. Thanks Daz

Now that I'm fully DX10, I'm checking all my airports and my all time favorite (KTPA) is experiencing a decrease in performance when using dx10. Could it be the grass? Does anyone have any other issues with FT KTPA? Some of the lights look different. I'm just wondering if the lights or grass could be causing the drop in fps. Thanks. Jose

Hi everyone, Just a question about DX10 compatibility..... I've only installed a few of my Aerosoft scenery so far and they seem to be working just fine under DX10. My question is about buying scenery and making sure they're DX10 compatible. Just about all the scenery I purchase are from Aerosoft. Is it safe to assume that those with FSX SP2/Acceleration listed under "requirements" will work just fine in DX10? *edit* I forgot to add that I'm using Steve's DX10 Fixer. Thanks

I thought posting it here would be good since there's lots of activity lately. Also, there's a chance that this new version fixes the CTD with dx10 and the dreaded KB2670838 installed. Download here: http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/sweetfx_shader_suite_download.html

hi everyone so in my previous post i was having some strange night graphic issues, i turned all my add on scenery off went back to default textures ect. ect. and it was still giving me the rainbow runways and ground. i have since done a complete fresh reinstal, only thing installed so far is the pmdg 777 and EZDOK as you can see from the pictures i'm still getting strange night textures. could this be from EZDOK ? at first when i change a camera they go away and once i move a bit they come into focus in the shapes you see in the pics very strange i haven't run steve's dx10 fixer yet, i have the full retail verson i will run it now, i have tweaked the con…

I had posted this in the FSX forum but thought it may be more relevant here. I had my system running smoothly, even in FTX areas, and then POOF, I started getting OOM errors and now it is stuttering. So I turned down the TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD and LOD_RADIUS. My frame rates in non FTX areas are erratic now too? I no longer have the OOM errors but the stuttering is still with me? The only thing I can remember changing was loading a shared REX4 Direct theme. I have since returned to my original theme, but see no difference. I checked to be sure my nvidia settings haven't changed, that my CPU was still running at he correct speed, DirectX10 Fixer was set the same and …

Can someone be so kind and share the files for this sun glare tweak: Also this one: Thanks a million. Jose

Hi Everybody, I am the newest user with dx10. I just bought Steve's patch and installed it with reading and appled step by step "How -to" and "User Manual" guides. And of these thing I have seen like new side FSX. Befero everything , I am very happy to use Steve's patch and many thanks for this fix .
