Is there any difference in frame rates between the two?

I wonder if I am wasting my time trying to use my GTX570HD which has only got 1.280mb ram. Most of you guys here have high end cards and so there is no point my applying your settings. Also when using Steves DX10 Fixer at Ksea I find that the taxiways and apron shimmer badly while the runways are OK. I wonder why. Could some kind person please lead me in the right direction as to settings in NI and my fsx.cfg that I may try. I hope to upgrade my card to a GTX 770 in January. regards Richard

As I understand things there are mainly four options with different pro and cons, 1) Stay with DX9 Pro Cost nothing and no work is needed. You won't see some glitches still present in DX10. Con You lose improved performance that DX10 gives. At least that was the case when I tried the free fixer on my Phenom II X4 with GTS250. Will the same be true for my current Haswell 4770K with a GTX770 ? 2) Use the free DX10 fixer Pro Cost no money but you need to do some work. Con Some features missing from the commercial fixer. 3) Use the commercial DX10 fixer. Pro The installer makes the work and you get a better improved product compared to the free one. Con …

hey everyone been messing with DX10 purchased steves DX10 Fixer, (Great work ) However i get these strange runway colors at night ? and strange artifacts im running Rex UTX FSDreamteam KLAS FlyTampa Dubai GSX i turned Rex off and still get it. Wondering if the rex textures are causing it. thought it might just me the airport scenery however BOTH KLAS and Dubai are doing it what else could it be,? i also get the same large pixel looking patterns on the water ? have a look at the pics and let me know if you have any ideas Thanks JHo

Full disclosure - I vowed never to return to FSX / I refunded P3D v2 and fully planned on returning to P3D 1.4.. But as I browsed my external drive to start the 1.4 install process I saw my FSX iso backups sitting there and remembered quite a few talking about FSX and the DX10 improvements.. So I grabbed Steves DX10 files out of here, reinstalled FSX, added the normal CFG file tweaks.. Reinstalled addons I haven't used for ages like UTX, GEX etc.. Applied SGSSAA, threw in some REX textures, set target to unlimited and... I just spent 2hrs flying without a single problem and VAS usage with GEX, UTX, full sliders and KPHL was less than that of P3Dv2 w/ default scenery and…

I have noticed in DX10 with the fixer that the alpha channel in the taxi markings (ie taxi edge and vehicle path edge) does not show properly - it just shows as a black rectangle as opposed to transparent - I am using the REX taxi marks. Is there any way of fixing this by amending the alpha channel on the texture?

Hello, I have often an error LiveKernelEvent with FSX Under DX10, Fsx display a black screen so i have to shut it! I use nvidia 331.65 with a 580 GTX 3G°, i7 2600K stock Bufferpools=0, Affinitymask=84 HT On, Load radius = 6.5, Textmaxload = 1024 textbandwith = 80 HighfixME=1, Uiautomationcore the right version in FSX and that's all! What do you think, is it a driver problem, should i return to 314.22? Thanks for your help!

I Wonder if it is useful to set affinitymask with DX10 Scenery fixer? Under DX 9 i am sur it was but Under dx10 i am not really sure! What do you think about?

To the FlightSim Community - I don't make posts very often, however I feel compelled to post this at this time. I would just like to say Thank you to the entire flight sim community for all of your helpful posts to questions, problems, solutions, suggestions, etc. As I said, I don't post very often, however I read A LOT on various topics / issues and watch for helpful replies that enable me to make improvements to my flight sim experience, system and setup. I hope everyone appreciates the community as much as I do as I really consider it a "family". I've used the flight simulator since the early days of subLogic back in the early '80's, to flying for SunAir Ex…

I thought I read somewhere that Steve is currently working on a fix for something to do with lots of clouds and I think it was AA or performance issues with DX10? Is this correct? Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

I have not tried Prepar3d .2 yet so I can only assume this. For all the legacy planes and scenery that needed the DX10 Fixer probably won't work in the new Prepar3d.2 unless steve makes a DX11 Fixer?

I read that P3D 2.0 is available today. While I'm happy with FSX and the way it looks and works in DX-10, part of me feels that it might be nice to have a sim that is growing and developing and is DX-11 capable. The other part of me is too lazy to take all the time and effort to get all the planes and add-ons to work with P3D. Is anyone considering going to DX-11 with P3D 2.0?

Hi. I was half an hour from completing a 10 hr flight in LVLD 767 when I got this error (found in event viewer). I was running DX10, updated DX10 fixer, and "shade". I`ve read that a windows update can cause this, and so deleted it on last flight, but noticed it had re installed itself again. I`ve now deleted it again, and set my NVidea Inspector to standard. Can anyone suggest anything else I can try? Got my doubts with Shade.

:lol: Sorry about that. Since DX10 the whitecaps on my water have disappeared. In DX9 I used Rex's 'Ethereal' for yonks. Going to DX10 I thought the water looked a little more 'subdued' but the whitecaps were still there...just. Still happy. Since the last update of DX10Fixer they have gone altogether. I've tried default water, changed the Rex texture, used 'Use this' and still a 'meh' water. It's not a big enough deal to make me revert to DX9 but it would be nice if anyone of you nice people have a solution. EDIT: A thought occurred to me. Does the WaterConstants.XML play any part in DX10? I have a cherished edited copy that I've had since a lad.

At the keyboard there are the minus and the plus keys for zoom in and out at fsx during flight I fly with zoom 1.0 If I want to zoom in then it goes right away to 1.5 Is there a way to change the zoom to i.e 1.2? where could I change that?

If I ever decide to install it, after having DX10 fixer working beautifully as it is right now, will I have to take care with some settings in particular?

Since I bought Steve's DX10 Fixer, I had only problems with it, in both DX modes. First time I tried it, I was on a heavily addon loaded FSX installation, which by the way worked flawlessly, amazingly smooth framerate in DX9, no stutters, it was a dream. Then I bought FX10 Fixer, because I knew that I can get better performance in DX10 when memory usage is high (on approaches). Played with it couple of days, and I've got awful performance in dx10. Converted effect files, enabled compatible reflections... it was even worse. Switched back to DX9, and then the performance with the libraries enabled or disabled was awful, not smooth at all, lot of stutters, lower fps. So my f…

Actually, why I decided to, after all, re-install FSX... I am an X-Plane 10 man now. Yes, that's indeed my preferred flight simulation platform, and the one in which I am placing my biggest expectation for the near future. This doesn't mean that I can't follow the extremelly tempting news about the upcoming P3D v2, but, I have a problem - I have what we can already call an "old" rig, and can't really plan to upgrade either the CPU or the GPU, not anytime soon ( maybe in 3 years if all goes well... ), so, P3D v2 will certainly be just too demanding for me :-( Then, there is still the lack of a PMDG-like product for X-Plane 10. We are getting closer with the re…

Ok folks. Here is an issues that has got my last nerve on dx10. I have an AMD 8150 8 core processor Gtx670 4gb 16gb Ram Needless to say I can run anything. In FSX dx9 runs like a champ. Full screen and windowed. I always play in full screen on 3 monitors. I have a home built simulator so 2 monitors on the so called dash and the large monitor for flying. I recently started learning about DX10. So I watched a few videos on how to set up Nvidia inspector for DX10. Completed the fsx.cfg tweaks for DX10. Turn fsx on and in windowed mode it's down right amazing. Thanks to flightfx and Rex essentials + overdrive my graphics are life like. Now here lies the problem. Dx10 in…

Hi guys, i got the DX10fixer v1.1 and now switched from DX9 to DX10. I've read this thread today and tried to fight that annoying flickering (in english i think the right word is shimmering ?) but i couldn't win the fight yet. I tried a lot of combinations within the NI but no luck. Don't have the best hardware but it worked well with DX9, no shimmering/flickering of fences, houses, trees, lines etc. Here's my system: http://www.sysprofile.de/id177452

(the Shaders and Shaders10 folders altogether...) and DX10 fixer was applied to an FSX install, what is the best course of action? 1) Use DX10 fixer normally and hope it'll rebuild the sahaders? 2) Uninstall and re-install the DX10 Fixer? .... Help really appreciated ;-)

EDIT (that n in the title is a typo; I don't have some dark, beta DX10 version, ok ) Hey all, Thought I'd see what the fuss was all about and I've encountered an odd problem, but one I know someone here will have a fix for. Ok, I have DX10 working. I have bought, run and configured the DX10Fixer. All is good, but... No SweetFX. Just won't load. So, I searched the forums and realised SFX needed to have AA un ticked in-game in FSX; I remove the tick and I can now select and run in DX10; bit jerky at the mo, but no tweaking yet. All good so far. To be on the safe side, I re-install SFX, configure using the SFX configurator GUI; go into FSX, and hey! …

Hello Everyone, I am confused about Steve's FX Fixer. I purchased it and installed it. I have Sweet FX and a folder in it called Shaders. I also note that there is a file available called: The latest DX10 Shader Patch 3.2.2 Do I need to put a Shader (whatever that is) into the Sweetfx folder and do I need to download a shader or do I already have it because I bought Steve's Fix? Paul

Hello, when I install the the DX10 library and enable the DX10 mode in the controller panel and thereafter starting the sim, the preview window is completly black... When I uninstall the DX10 library (but still enabling the DX10 mode), then the preview window works again. What do I wrong? How do I can resolve this? Thanks in advance!
