DX-10 Discussions, Hints and Help

Just getting starting with DX10 in FSX using Steve's fixer and trying very hard to follow all of the recommendations for settings. Not surprisingly I've encountered some issues with the add on airport Chicago O'Hare from FS Dreamteam which is not currently DX10 compatible. I'm seeing four black objects surrounding each green taxiway light but don't know what to call this problem and some issues with what I think is called a halo effect around the area lighting. I have attached a screenshot of these two issues which may or may not come through but would like to know two things: For my education, what are these two DX10 anomalies called and is there anything I can d…

Hi, I would just like to ask if there is a fix for the badly shimmerig runway lines? I'm using DX10 fixer with AA set to 8CSAA in the fixer and 4 x SGAA in NI, the hole sim is basicly shimmer free and extremely sharp except for the runway lines, if anyone has an idea that would be great. Cheers Rod.

In the v3.2.2 DX10 Fixer there was a Bonus folder included which among other things included a fix for lights. I applied the light fix and followed the instructions to modify the lights section of the default 172 aircraft.cfg file. The one problem I see is that the Nav lights have a small dark "patch" over them when viewed from outside the a/c. This is a minor issue, but just wondering if I did something wrong in applying the fix. Thx, Al

After FSX Control panel is up and aircraft, airport and flight plan selected, click "Fly now" screen goes black white window and progress bar as scenery, terrain and everything loads. Start flight and sometimes black screen and progress bar flash then flight resumes, this can occur any time during the flight. Only had a couple of instances where the "flash" stayed and FSX was locked up. Any ideas on where to look? FSX Gold, FSUIPC4, UT Alaska, Anchorage X

Well I brought a new computer for myself at Xmas. My previous one was not chop liver either. at 3.7 with a 580GTX 256 SDD and 6 gig of ram with being inside 2 years old. However, I have a nice simpit and was ###### that I still couldnt run all the eye candy I wanted. So I brought this: 7-3820 OC 4.7 | ASUS P9X79 LE MoBo | 16GB DDR3/2133MHz Corsair Vengeance | EVGA Superclocked - Signature 2 Edition GTX 680 2GB | 480 GB Intel 520 Series SSD | 850 watt Thermaltake Toughpower | Window7 64 Pro | Liquid Cooling Kit 360MM w/ Triple Fan powered by Koolance | Azza Fusion 3000 Full-Tower Gaming Case When I got it my hopes were that I finally would have the hardware to…

Did anyone else noticed that panel ligths somtimes goes on/off? I think its only aircrafts with vc shadows. It's not a huge problem, but if anyone knows how to fix it, i would be glad :-)

I just switched over to DX10 using Steve's Fixer and followed all the recommened settings for NI and fsx.cfg but I have no idea what to set for the Bufferpools. Looking at my PC specs can somebody suggest a good starting point for both Poolsize and RT? Thanks.

Hello, which optimal settings are appropriate for my system with the SceneryFixer? I have gotten already looked in many forums. Since there are so many different opinions on certain settings. For example: for: [JOB SCHEDULER] AffinityMask =?. I have one already called so many values; 5 - 84 ?? Here share the opinions, but there must be a correct value but here. Not a lot right! Please here to help. Maybe a default for DX10 Nvidia Settings. Regards, Bernd

I have just made the move to DX10 after reading the "How to" doc and I'm very happy with how my FSX looks and performs now. I'm having two issues though... My FSX nights are so dark that while I'm on the ground I can't see where I'm going! Even my panels are so dark I can't find the light switch! :lol: But maybe this has something to do with "Shade"... I have to do some more tests. The other issue has to do with water. I can't get the water to look as good as it did in DX9. :( I took this shot where you clearly can see three levels of detail... one right below the aircraft, another slightly blurry, and a blurry mess further away! Is this normal? I'm askin…

Hi everyone. I've got a problem with too shiny aircraft in FSX (this example NGX): http://i57.tinypic.com/2v9sw28.png I'm using Steve DX10 Fixer v.1.2 and I was trying to fix it with General Shader Option/Reflections and so on but nothing happened. Anybody knows how to do it correctly? Thanks in advance.

Hi folks, Did post over in the fixer support first but just to let you know I finally purchased the fixer and set up accordingly thanks Paul for the guides, but alas even with very low AA setting at UK 2000 Gatwick with UT2 and the aerosoft airbus my frames just tanked away in cloud and rain. Tried to set anything and everything but alas result unflyable a stutter show, revert to a full DX9 last night ran the same scenario and frames in very high twenties why should that be I have a meaty gtx 770 oc i7 2600 at 4.5 well for the time being its DX9 great shame. Did I mis anything or is this not good for tube flyers. Many thanks

Hi to all, I have some doubts about DX10 First , here are my specs: Windows 7 Ultimate X64 Notebook Lg A530 Intel Core I7-2670QM - 8 Gb ram Nvidia GT555m with 2GB dedicated - (latest driver installed 9.18.13.3221) Intel® HD Graphics Microsoft Flight Simulator X with sp1,sp2 and aceleration. My question is: Why when I choose to use DX10 in fsx, my video card is changed to the Intel® HD Graphics? Could not I use my Nvidia GT555M with DX10? I've tried to enable the DX10 by FSX and also by DX10SceneryFixer 3.3 but it still fails. The fsx always puts the Intel® HD Graphics as my video card. I also tried using the Nvidia Inspector, but also without success. H…

Not sure what is causing this but my fps are down to 7 fpps and 14 fps with the ngx. It happens while at higher altitudes only. When I look away from the clouds/horizon ie the overhead panel my fps go back up to the 30's/. and when Im at lower altitudes flying through the clouds Im fine. Im using 1024 for my textures (just using the default fsx clouds anyways) I set everything up like it said in the how to doc. here is a pic of my inspector settings. Also in my fsx settings Im using the ansiotropic and anti alasing, mid 2x water, no ai traffic, no ground traffic at all. My cloud draw distance is set to 100 miles through ASN

Are there a working ENB for FSX DX10? I run with bloom on, does it pretty good. But lots of alternatives with a good ENB. BUT, is it possible?

Today I started up FSX for the first time in months. I flew the standard route that I always do when getting back into FSX, which is around Wanaka Airport in New Zealand. I am using 2 sets of add-on scenery in that area: ORBX's New Zealand South Island, and GodZone's RealNZ Wanaka. After flying for about 3 minutes I noticed some black textures on nearby mountains. And then I noticed water textures in the middle of the town. As I flew closer, the water textures changed to other textures quickly, as if it were cycling through different textures looking for the correct one. Weird. Clearly a glitch. I checked my settings and noticed that FSX was using the Direct…

There have been two revalatory events this year in my 20 yrs of fsx.....one is changing to DX10 and the other the deveolpment of LINDA for us mcp2 users. I am curious however, why does the change to full screen now happen in an instant oppsed to a lot of whurring and black screen in dx9?? And what does full screen do for dx10?

Hello As can be expected for some addon airports, I have been experiencing airport scenery anomalies with the DX10 fixer. The anomalies don't immediately appear when I load my aircraft but after about 3min or so the airport aprons/taxiways and runways turns in to a reflective ice rink. It is difficult to explain so some screen shots below will illustrate the problem. These are from FlyTampa's LGAV. I have also had it happen with other dev payware airports as well. Is there anyway to correct this? I am reluctant to approach the devs since a lot them do not offer DX10 related support.

Just wondering in long time how it can be when passing through the cloudlayers - Its kind of pink colour outside the cockpit window- and often I the nights is too bright.. Maybe its not a DX10 forum question, just Wondering why the night not are totally dark, even passing the clouds.. Using Rex4..

Hi All, After reinstalling everything I've got on the subject of installing the DX10 mod. That's all fine. I then tried to install SweetFX by copying all the files into the FSX directory but when I tried starting up FSX it gave me an error saying I had to reinstall FSX. I removed all the SweetFX files and I can start FSX now. What do I need to do to install SweetFX? Cheers DK

Just wondering as saw it mentioned in another post on this forum. Thanks Adam

Hi Everyone, Well after much fiddling I think I have finally got DX10 going the way I want it. I fly tubes to big payware airports with real weather...plane is aerosoft airbus. Now I had a stutter show and with cloud unflyable until I tried BP=8m and RT =256. BP=0 was a no go, this caused the issue I think the card looked like it was not doing much work most of the time then shot right up then down again and this is running with a gtx 770! and OC I 72600 @4.5 Strange I thought the other way being better for FSX. So what I have now is occasional black flashing not sure if it is clouds or scenery, can I apply the swarmcloud fix here with DX10? A…

I have looked, but not found, anything on this. When I turn on DX10 Compatible Lighting in tn DX10 Controller I take a huge, 10fps or so, hit in FPS. I run locked at 30 using all of the suggested setting and normally run between 29 and 30 FPS at Portland using FTX PNW (et-all) and FTX Portland Scenery. As I gain altitude, say 500 to 600 ft, my frames normally go back up to 28 or so. With Lighting enabled, I am lucky to see 13 to 15? Turn it off and I am back to normal. Also, how do I get rid of the glowing Halo and star effects on the runways lights. Very annoying and I don;t see much change using the Control/ General sliders? I love DX10, what a differe…

Hi, Checked DX10 preview in FSX and first impressions are fine. No fixes applied yet but only obvious problem is the usual lead arrows missing. However, if airport diagrams are available then who needs them. :rolleyes: What I do have a problem with is the circle of rain. Would applying Steve's DX10Fixer remedy this effect? Could anyone throw some light on this issue? Your help much appreciated before I throw some money at this. Regards, Richard. p.s. Running an EVGA unclocked Nvidia 660Ti

Works great in DX9 but when I switched to DX10 using Steve's DX 10 Fixer FRAPS will record audio but no video and I don't see the yellow Fraps FPS indicator on the screen either. Does anyone know of a work around? Windows 7 64 Ultimate Nvidia GTX 670 Fraps version 3.5.9 Build 15586
