DX-10 Discussions, Hints and Help

I've noticed that both the DX10 guide ( latest version available at this forum ) and AVSIM's recently published Guide for Installation and Configuration of FSX have left off some of the typical tweaks used for quite a long time. For users with "low-end" machines, like an i5 2500 k and a GTX 650 Ti ( 1GB), running win7 64 bit, I wonder if the: - PoolSize=0 - AffinittyMask=14 tweaks should really be left out? Aren't the new "minimalist" tweaks meant to be used only with the higher end CPUs and GPUs? And, yet another question... Depending on your system I see that there can be different options available for the AA setings in DX10Fixer. On the GTX 650 T…

and I couldn't feel happier! Both PMDG's work beautifully, the same goes with the Aerosoft A320/21, as well as the weather injector I am experimenting. Smoothness, visual quality, no stuttering at all, and all of the graphical benefits of running FSX in DX10 mode, make me consider this already as one of the best acquisitions I ever did for FSX, right now that I thought being an X-Plane 10 convert ( which I still am... ) I am finding myself sharing my simming time 50 / 50 between X-Plane 10 and FSX... I know my settings in terms of scenery are minimal - just default scenery, with the exception of LPMA, which also works beautifully in DX10 with this fixer - bu…

I've been using DX10 for a while now, and generally all is good, but I've come across an odd issue with some 3d grass. The airport is St Marys in the Isles of Scilly, by Earth Simulations. The grass by the runway has a fairly common problem as shown in the first pic. Strangely, if I pan round slightly further the grass appears correctly Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, and can anything be done to fix it?

There has been a lot of discussion lately about DX-10 and fixes, tweaks and hints and as a result, we thought we would open a forum to cover this area of FSX specifically. Welcome! We will start moving existing DX-10 messages over to this forum shortly.

Been using the DX10 fixer since release and DX10 forever and am familiar with all the tweaks. I have recently noticed that many of the "go to" tweaks don't seem to do anything anymore. Not sure if it's due to video drivers, the fixer or what. Specifically - BufferPools = 0 , TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT= I used to run unlimited FPS and BP = 0 to produce very good results but these settings no longer seem to impact the sim at all. I won't complain as I still get 30-40 FPS in most circumstances on Nvidia surround except at really heavy airports it can drop to 20 or so. I removed the BP= 0 and reset to default 40 on TBM (tried 60 80 120 etc all the way up to 200 which…

Hi Guys; I guess we don't have as many artistic flyers as I thought, and so I suppose we won't do a poll to pick the best - because they're all winners anyway - right!! These are all the Banners built and sent in by several of our DX10-er's, and are I hope no-one will object to me putting them below for you to use as you wish. All comply with the Avsim 500 x 125 rule. All are excellent statements of the best of DX10, and they will add to the general uniqueness of our 'movement'. Enjoy!

just downloaded build1.1 26, previously had 1.1 24 and did not have this problem with the water. The ocean seems to have like patches of clouds in them, its weird never had this before, previous never saw this, and dx 9 as well. What do I do ?

Hi All, OK, I must be doing something wrong.... I've just bought/installed Steve's DX10 Fixer, reset my Nvidia settings, kicked off the control panel and the contrast and images are all messed up (screenshot below). Thoughts? DX10 enabled, DX Compatible Lights on, DX10 AA off. All sliders to default in the control panel. I'm running an i5 4760K with EVA GeForce GTX 760.

Hi all I know I've read this somwere but think I'm using the wrong wording in the search. I've been playing around with the lighting for the runways using the dx10 fixer and adjusting the fsx.cfg and have got to a point I'm happy with but around dusk/night I'm getting tiny fuzzy white sparkles on the water surface,I know I've read somewere on the forum how to fix this but just can't find it does anyone have any ideas on the fix or where I might find the article? also is there a way to turn the glow/brightness of the sun down a bit similar to airport lights? thanks

Can anyone kindly point me to a very realistic sun.cfg setting? My sun looks awful at sunset. Paul

Hi everyone My son has kindly upgraded my Graphics card to a Nvidia 650 ti with a quad core Q6600 OC'd to 3.2, 6 gig memory, windows 8. I can't afford the new DX10 Scenery Fixer as I am an OAP on fixed income but would like to take advantage of DX10 after flying with DX9 for several years but can't get anywhere with the new shader patch. When I try to run the Setup batch file I get the well documented message of 'File readonly'. When I try to download a ready made shaders file as linked to the install document the site no longer exists. Could anyone tell me how to fix the batch file or where I can get the ready made shader file from. Many Thanks …

I just flew into KJAC in DX10 and noticed the runway lights were surrouned by white blocks all the other lights are fine but the runway lights are messed up here's a screen. Anyone know a fix. I have steve's fixer by the way.

I have been trying repeatedly to get SweetFX to work with FSX, but neither v1.4.7 or 1.5.1 is giving me love. The problem *appears* to be that the injection of dxgi.dll is no good. Procmon reports that C:\Windows\SysWOW64\dxgi.dll is the version loaded by FSX. The local copy in the FSX folder (copied from SweetFX) is completely ignored. I tried using the SweetFX integration with Radeon Pro 1.1.1.0, but enabling this option causes a fatal reset in the display driver and subsequent crash of FSX. Is anybody running this combination successfully, or is this just ATI / Windows 8.1 badness I'm running up against?

Hi, I have recently tried DX10 and after reading various posts in the forum and installing the DX10 fixes, I obtain a very steady 30fps. However, for some unknown reason all the aircraft that appear in the preview window have jaggies yet when in flight no jaggies at all, aircraft very smooth. Is this normal or am I missing something? Many thanks, Barry

Hi. I can lock FSX at 30frames from the sim and it sticks to this, regardless of how many clouds. Now when I put NVidea Inspector from standard mode to edited, as following this forum`s, instructions, I`m lucky to get 10 to 15 in heavy cloud, and sim feels "choppy". Is there a bare minimum of settings on NI to get my frame rate back?

Hi all, I've been playing around with DX10 for the last week after reading here that it can cure the dreaded OOM errors. I have been trying to fly the new PMDG 777 from Birmingham EGBB to Dubai OMDB. My sim has been running in DX9 mode for the last four years. Every time I fly to Dubai using the new PMDG777 either just prior to touchdown or approaching the airport Boom the OOM appears. Now I haven't seen this for years using any of my usual planes, usually the MD11. So today lets try the same route, same plane, real weather etc but in DX10 mode.............Wow what a difference, ok no great increase in FPS but so so smooth, which is actually more important to me t…

Hey, I just bought the DX10 scenery fixer, and I am trying to figure out on how to get SweetFx working in Dx10 mode. I have a 6970 ati. When I run SweetFX with FSX, I notice that it is running in DX9 mode -- how is this possible when fsx.cfg is set to directx10. When I check FSX settings, I also see that the option to check mark DX10 isn't there anymore. Entire DX10 Preview option isn't displayed in FSX. Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated. Thoughts? btw - I have the latest build of SweetFX.

Hello, I have Megascenery installed and prior to Steve's DirectX10 update fixer being installed all my Megascenery scenery was dark at night (beign photoreal textures). Now they appear illuminated. What have i done and how to get them back to their prior state? (please see attached photo) Paul

My landing light effect not showing probably in DX10 preview. Same with during final approach. Don't know if anyone experience the same.

Hi I have three questions to answer: -Guys can anyone tell me how to make ENB Series operate with DX10 preview ? -what the Steve FX tool do if I haven't DX10 preview ? -If I haven't DX10 preview checked, is that meaning I am operate the FSX with DX9 ? Thx.

Just want to bring to Steve's attention that the latest update has made my dc8 vc shadows highly pixalated. This was not the case in earlier fixer versions. I'd say that this is the worst I've seen in terms of vc shadows. Is there a setting that needs to be changed? tony

Steve I set all my AA up exactly as the Documents have told me, Im using 8xCSAA in the Fixer and 8x SGSS in NVI but when I turn SweetFX on ALL of my AA is almost Gone! The light poles at Payware airports shimmer like crazy, soon as UI turn off SweetFX it just back, what do I need to do to fix this,

Hello, I am testing Héraklion X from Aerosoft and 3D Grass is horrible if i activate it! Is there a solution or do i have t desactivate it definitly! The rest seems to be ok!

Hello, It is strange since i updated the soft every time i install new aerosoft sceneries when i launch the fixer it never ask me a scan!! Is it normal? or something is wrong?
