DX-10 Discussions, Hints and Help

some aircraft models would show black squares of smoke momentarily on touchdown which rapidly disappears, then the white smokes appear as normal (as shown below) this doesn't happen when I turn off DX10, but also doesn't happen on all aircraft models although DX10 was enabled

I broke something on my FSX. The problem is the taxiway and runway marking (lines) look pixelated. This cause them to look like they are moving like a barber's pole. All other textures look good and performance is stable at 30 fps. I have an Nvidia GTX 780 and I am runing Steve's DX10 fixer set at 8x and NVI set to 8x SGSS and 16x anisotropic per the manual. FSX has antialiasing and anisotropic set. Resolution is set to the native resolution of 1920x1080x32 There is no blurries or stutter, just the issues with the lines. This is driving me crazy. Can anyone recommend anything I can try? I ran out of ideas.

Hi all, I have been using Steves DX10 Fixer Version 3.1 build 96 for a long while now and never updated it, I want to add DX10 Cloud Shadows for which I need DX10 Scenery Fixer version 3.2. Build 98. I have not received any notification of updates for which I cant explain. How can I resolve this without purchasing DX10 Fixer again please? Many thanks Ro9

Hello everybody, when I check the shadow option in FSX and put the ForceVCshadow (or whatever it is) in my FSX.cfg, the shadows in the pmdg 737 and other aircrafts virtual cockpit is really blurry. will buying and using the DX10 fixer by Steve fix this and make them smooth and nice looking? is there a shadow setting in the fixer please and will this option make the shadows clear? thank you! Sam

This is a bit of a reminder to read manual. I have been using the fixer for very long time with great success. It keeps our old FSX relevant and quite amazing. For the longest time I was using no AA in NI Lately I have noticed that aircraft shadows lost AAs. I did all kinds of adjustments uninstalling and reinstalling, assuming that I missed up something else. It seems to be that the newest drivers for Nvidia 1080 card mess that up. I went back to the manual (should've start with that ) and adjusted AA in NI to 4X. That fixed at all. Happy Landings mike

I have been using MSFS since it inception. I am currently using FSX:SE. I have applied most of the FSX.cfg tweaks to optimize things out. I am fairly content with the way things are performing. I have been contemplating a switch over to P3D, but just cannot pull the trigger on the cost. However, if LM ever gets P3D developed for 64bit, I may reconsider, but for now I am curious on whether or not to purchase and apply Steve's DX10 Fixer or wait out the race to the next major sim release to see if DTG or LM crosses the 64bit threshold. From what I have read and seen so far, the DX10 Fixer would be an excellent investment, but I'm in sort of a quandary because I'm sati…

I am stumped. I set AA in Steve's DX 10 controller, open FSX, and see that the jaggies are still present. I close FSX, go into Steve's controller and see that the AA settings have set themselves to No AA. Can someone shed light on this? I'd like to mention that I've installed the controller in a separate hardrive---where all my fsx files are located. Can this be the cause? thanks tony

Hello: I am soon expecting delivery of my new system. I seeking support for settings with Steve's DX10 fix and Nvidia Inspector.

Hi Guys. AMD video cards (my case ATI 6850) had a problem with DX 10 in FSX where textures would break up and/or flash. I tried DX 10 Fixer (2.11) to no avail so I gave up and reverted back to DS9. I'm curious if this issue is addressed in version 3.2 of DX 10 Fixer, or is it still a problem. Appreciate any comment before I re-install it and revert back to DX 10. Thanks, Mike C

Hi guys, I am using Steve's DX10 fixer and jsut installed Galeo's Rio airport. unfortunately some lights at the gates seem to interfere. I have scanned the light files for fixes. To no avail. I also used lightsfield.bgl, to no avail. I am searching for the file responsible for the "halo" effect, because I think that is causing this problem. But I seem not to be able to tackle it. Perhaps someone could help me? I added a screenshot about this problem. Thanks in advance.

Just applied Steve DX10 Fixer , had no chance to take off due to the fact that for some reason my Menu Bar is coming up with dashes only and then it change and become blurry and unreadable . another issue is that the Cursor is blinking when moving GPS to the second monitor (only in Full screen) , might be something in my NV Inspector, but have no idea Would appreciate any help BTW I was running DX10 for few min prior to applying the "Fixer" and everything seems okay misbehave Cheers Yair

Hallo i have This problem. In outside view there are shadows that move over the aircraft. I want two attach one picture but i don´t now how can do that. Please can you help me. Thanks Melo Dias My DX10 ist V.2.3 P.S. Sorry for my bad English. And also for my small PC knowledge.

I'm not having a problem with the A2A and PMDG Aircraft. All the other aircraft like the Twin Otter Extended and the Cera Helicopters don't have engine sound. I can hear the tires rolling and the brakes squealing in the FSX SE. I had the latest NVidia Version then I installed two earlier versions 378.66 and the 352.63 but no luck. I also deleted the cfg.exe. and let it re-build. I also un-installed the Twin Otter Extended. I have DX 10. Does anyone have an idea that I haven't covered? Thank you.

I use a fantastic little ENB based shader in DX9 for NVG - love it for Carrier Ops - VTOL's in the Harrier - but I have to switch to DX9 to use it - which is a pain. Is it possible to have this in DX10 using an alternative?

I had to go and change my graphics card didn't I? From a 760 to a 970, with a driver update too. Now nothing I seem to do can stop horrible gut-wrenching shimmering. Change Water2 to Water 1 stops the shimmering, but I lose Rex texture and Cloud Shadows. I really don't know what else to try - if anyone has suggestions, I love to try them! I've changed the screen resolution, tried to use my old driver, reapplied the DX tweaks to the Nvidia Inspector FSX profile, messed with FSX AA and Aniostropic settings, changed the supersampling settings in the Fixer ... the only other thing I haven't done yet is alter the refresh rate or look at the Nvidia Card settings. …

Best dx10 fixer settings for performance? please, thanks!

Hi, I have Steve's DX10 Fixer and modied my cfg and Nvidia INspector according to a DX10 guide. Everything ran smoothly. I just upgraded to a GTX 970 Nvidia card and again everything is fine except to sea textures are swirling round and round. I tried various DX10 AntiAliasing settings in the FIxer to no avail. I've opened up Nvidia INspector but I don't know if its saving my settingsa, each time I open it, it shows the default settings. I have a DX10 profile saved and 'install' it, but again, it doesn't seem to show up onb the Nvidia main profile page. Essentially, I thought I knew what I was doing, but I don't think I do. I'm 'using' 1.9.7.8..... I just …

Maybe someone can help me understand the Anti-Aliasing settings. There are four points where I can change them: (1) The Anti-Alias Checkbox in FSX (I am flying Steam Edition) (2) The AA settings in the DX10 Switcher (I am flying DX10) (3) The program settings in the NVIDIA System Settings (under the program "fsx.exe") (4) The NVIDIA Profile Inspector (I have it and use it) Right now, I am trying to override the application settings with something that looks like Supersampling 4x. To do that I created a new profile in the inspector and selected "Override Application Settings", "4x4 Supersampling (D3D only)", "Enabled Transparency", "4x Supersampling" in AA Trans…

Hey guys, so, I bought steve's dx10 fixer ))))) So, which settings would you guys reccommend for performance? I would like to use 2x aa. PS, why in the WORLD does my fsx have jagged edges EVERYWHERE? My res is set to max, but something is still wrong... The trikes ropes are barely visible!

Hello folks, I want to say that I finally built a system that can run fsx without no problems. But it took ten years of headaches with" FSX" . It started when I upgraded to fsx back in 2006 when it came out. I was a happy camper, Just upgraded to a 2600k or higher I cannot remember, Had a gtx 295 vid card. I was ready for flying, that is until I hit the play button. From that point on, It was tweek this or tweek that. Add this and add that. Follow This guys advice and throw this guys advice out. You did It all, from that point on you were a" Slave to FSX". You did what it told you to do. turn this down or shut this off. I cannot tell you how many time…

Quick question for my further plans. Since it is obvious that DX10 mode depends more on GPU performance than DX9 mode, the question comes up for me what to replace next. Currently I use a Phenom II X4 965 BE @ 4,1 Ghz and a 560Ti. Both are not the newest pieces of hardware. Money is tight for me so I only have the option of upgrading one by one. I can either get a better GPU of the 7th or 9th Generation of nvidia, or get an AMD FX8350 which runs 4,0 at stock and should easily do 4,5 or 4,6 based on my experience with my existing CPU. What would you go for? And I know there are a lot of people out there who would recommend me to go for i7, but those are mo…

When I try to install the librarys I get the following message: Unable to delete shader Cache. Please rebuild shaders manually Does anybody know how to solve this?

Good evening all, I recently made the jump from DX9 to DX10, i am planning to buy Steve`s DX10 fixer but for now i am using his freeware version which i downloaded from the AVSIM file library. I am very happy with the overall smoothness of the sim, much smoother than it is with DX9. The only thing i do`nt like so far is performance with overcast skies. I always fly from the VC and i use Opus FSX as weather engine.. I have tried a number of cloud sets, from REX soft clouds to the freeware Aimee Leclercq Oscar clouds, in even tried his 128x128 sized clouds but performance was still bad. If i go into the weather tab in FSX itself i notice that there are multiple…

Hi All, This fix now has my FSX looking better than P3D by a large margin. Thank you Steve. The cockpit shadows, as an example, are much less jagged and flow smoother across the screen. The water is better by far. The transition from blue to brown at DC is really nice. The colors are deeper and richer. All I had to do was experiment with the Enhancer and DX10 Controller settings plus Water Configrator settings. I use Orbx combined with Ultimate Terrain, REX, ASN, UT2 and a number of add-on aircraft. System: [email protected] on a ASUS Z-97 pro gamer with RAM timings of 7-8-8-24 and GTX 970. Sliders that count: AutoGen = Dense Compl…

Hello guys, lately I moved to fsx-se and I'm trying to add all my addons to fsx-se but I have an issue with the dx10 (I don't use it). When I check the dx10 I got a black screen on planes preview and the game don't load. Any help I will appreciate it.
