Hi. I`ve been having issues with my setup and put my NI back to standard. My frame rate issue has gone now. I`ve not been on the sim long enough to see what I`ve sacrificed by doing this. I`ve set the DX10 fixer to 8x and all is still ok. What have I affected by doing this? What is the bare minimum setting on NI I need? HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS.

I don't see navigation lights in multiplayer on Vatsim in DX9 they're clearly visible in very realistic distance of up to 25 miles in DX10 I don't see them at all. (?) I wish it was working . It could be related to navigation lights problem but I also noticed that airport beacon in lower visibility in a distance shows as a black dot, only when I'm very close to it it loads in as white and green lights. mike

Hello guys, I gave an honest effort with dx10 but I have went back to dx9 for only one reason. The AA just wont work for me. I have to run such hi levels of sgss to get rid of the shimmers and jaggies compared to dx9. The biggest hit I believe is using sgss with dense cloud cover. This is using NI and a gtx 670. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

Steve Noticed an issue tonight having had a few problems with these lights in the most recent build. When you enable "DX10 Compatible Lights" which prompts all the effect file conversions, there are a number of the shockwave lights which the fixer does not amend, including most of the landing lights (it does amend all the strobe and NAV lights) - the most commonly used one which is not amended is fx_shockwave_landing_light. Is there a reason why certain effects are excluded from conversion? Regards Rob Update - I think the issue I am observing is purely the main texture on the light not being visible from certain angles - sure this problem was mentioned befo…

Hi. Not sure if this is a DX10 issue, but I`m having real bad frame rates now the weather is getting worse. (Mostly fly online with Vatsim). I`m using the new REX4 textures, thinking this would help. My PC is overclocked to a stable 4.8ghz but is brought to its knees in heavy clouds. I have the DX10 fixer installed. Is it possible my GTX560ti is the bottle neck now? Do I need a GPU with more than 1gb? I cant do any more with the cpu, and i`ve added the usual fsx.cfg tweeks. Maybe I should leave FSX until the summer, when weather gets better?

Tried reinstalling DX10 fixer but same thing happens even with a clean install. V1.2 Build 29 (latest available from FSStore) Thanks

I remember when steve first released his version of the Fixer we where suppose to turn off the smoothing, but now since the Fixer has been out and has been updated a million times can we turn this thing back on, I really dont like the lights just slamming on like that.

After check the dx10 , the night lights in frx global becomes brightless and it appears in black squares, I have dx10 shader 3.2.2 installed & dx10 steveFIXER also Any help

Folks, Happy holidays! I'm still working out a few minor issues with DX10 (shimmering) and noticed that when flying, the sim seems to render/draw additional autogen as I'm flying. Things like trees especially. There is a decent amount to start, then FSX starts to add more as I fly over. It looks kinda unrealistic when it does this.... Any way to fix this? I went straight to DX10 when I installed FSX, so not sure if this issue is unique to DX10, or is common for the sim. I'm grateful for any advice!

I am using the DX10 shader patch , and also the FSND DX10 compatible C310Q (Rikooo) with NL2000. I what would like to know is NL2000 compatible with DX10 ? or is this not the right forum to ask about DX10 with NL2000 ? In fact when used the FSND DX10 C310Q i was loosing fps. Thanks.

Hello I have FSX with sp2. I just Installed the steve dx10 fixer Also I have Dx10 shader 3.2.2 (from avsim library). I need to tweak my AA to work well with dx10 preview mode. I dont know from where how I can modified it, from steve fixer tool or cfg or NV inspc. Can anyone help me in enabling an acceptable AA with acceptable performance. Please ?

Tried flying one of my favourite freeware aircraft, the Dassault 50 last night and for some reason the VC cockpit is partly transparent and so is some of the aircraft in spot view :( Uninstalled and reinstalled DX10fixer but didn't make any difference. Works fine in DX9 mode but that's not the point.. See below. Any way to fix this?

If this question is out of order here, please tell me. I don't want a smack for posting in the wrong forum! I'm running FSX, exclusively in DX 10. My new CH Pro Throttle has developed a problem. When running at or near full throttle, it intermittently jumps down to around half, and when at idle, it jumps up to half throttle without warning. The latter problem can make it impossible to land a helicopter, while the former, while flying the Real Air Lancair Legacy, reduces the setting from around 25 manifold pressure to 14. The tiniest movement of the throttle restores the setting, only for the problem to repeat. The throttle is activated in FSX, and I've …

Hi, I am going to recieve my new EVGA SC ACX GTX780 today and i will properly have to re-install everything so time may be on my side but in the meen time i would like to know if you will share , contribute with your FSX.CFG´s and NI settings as well with this chip . FSX.CFG for the T7/NGX FSX.CFG for VFR flying I dont know if you have the same setup with DX10 Fixer and NI regardless of IFR/VFR but feel very free to share . Many thanks in advance :-) You can pm me if you feel like it

I'm at my wits end with trying to figure this one out.. i've even started with a brand new clean setup on Win 8.1 (bare OS, then FSX, no real addons)... I installed Fixer.. clicked install library.. left it at that (and 4x AA in fixer).. and tweaked the Inspector, per various posts on here.. (the tweaking causes drops in fps as a result of losing shimmering mostly) Basically.. if you run the attached flight i get bad fps as you pull the cessna upward towards the clouds.. it will start off locked at the locked 30 fps.. then dip to 14-18 fps as you pull towards clouds.. and this is without rain.. though granted at 5760x1200 resolution on my evga gtx670 with 3 24" screen…

Everyone who tried DX10 always seem so delighted, happy, and positive about it. But for me, it works completely differently. I have a pretty strong and rock-solid FSX machine which I never have problems with. FSX runs rock solid, and I never have CTDs or freezes. FPS are mostly very good. A drop below 30 even in the most demanding situations, is extremely rare. For example, in the PMDG 777 at Aerosoft EHAM, 30-40 FPS is no problem, near the terminal I am in the high 20's. In the skies, I'm always at 40-60. Because everybody was reporting such postive results, I decided to try DX10 myself to get just that little bit more out of my performance that I want: a minimum of 3…

Is there any free alternative to the scenery fixer to correct FTX global lights in DX10? I've tried looking through the FTX forums and elsewhere and haven't found anything.

Since reinstalling latest build 29 I've been having problems with dx10 fixer, at start-up it gives me legacy message even though nothing has been changed, and if I try to install libraries I get messages that certain effects have not been found. Please help

When I set up the new REX4 shall I choose the DX10 settings - wave animation and so on... And do DX10 Fixer need a reinstall. .Anyone have experiences with the new REX 4 ??

I just found this program and it states that this converter allows for aircraft and sceneries for FS9 to be able to work on FSX w/ Acceleration. Please opine anyone about this program. It's much appreciated.

hey all posted this in the pmdg forums and we thought we should post here as well seeing as how it may be a dx10 issue basically my dome light will not emit light in the cabin, it turns on and shows the lighted texture but has no light i have the fixer ( most current ) i've reinstalled the 777 i've deleted the shaders ran the fixer again still no dice it does it with the engine running or not any ideas Thanks JHo

Hi all, Firstly, let me say I am not a frame-rate chaser. I am happy with 30fps, and happier with smooth. For the last year I have been running FSX on Windows 8 with a GTX580 with no more tweaking and 30fps pretty much all over the shop. Then I went and bought a GTX Titan. I did this for two reasons: firstly, I am a big P3d fan and it likes VRAM; secondly, I wanted to see if it made a difference in FSX. Boy does it make a difference. Until last night. Anyway, when I bought it, and as it was about a year and a half since I reinstalled FSX, I did a total removal and reinstall. Everything. Airports, sceneries and finally FSX itself. Three days later (really - onl…

Hi all, I've been messin' round with DX10 trying to get it to work. I installed some of the fixers, and that helped enough to get it going some what. But so far, I can only use DX10 on my single main monitor? I have 3 and 2 are used for instraments. When I try to move the main (instrament) panel to the monitor, itcome partily in, then goes black and the hour glass and arrow start blinking quickly, and that's as far as can get. So, I have to use the single main screen, with plane showing too. BUT,,,,,there is a great deal of difference between DX9 and DX10 in the scenery, like night and day. DX10 shows up like a picture compared to the mushy, blurry ground that DX9 ha…

I've picked up a few freeware legacy aircraft (FS9 & early FSX) from the Virtavia bone yard that I've been tweaking to run in my sim and downloaded some repaints for them from the library. A couple claim to be FSX compatible, some not. In DX10 I get issues - white aircraft with no texture, transparent bit of texture, cockpit glass that disappears at certain angles or in clouds. Steve's Fixer Legacy Shader with the slider set to full 'Aircraft' mode fixes most of this stuff, but I was wondering if there's a way to edit the textures so that they are fully compatible in DX10 without the Legacy shader (and hopefully fix ALL the problems). I have an editor that al…
