DX-10 Discussions, Hints and Help

Hello Gentleman, does someone of you have a backup of the original DX10 Files from FSX ? I`m Using Steve`s DX10 Scenery Fixer but i copied tried the Water v1.0 from the Shader Rlease 3.2.2 and since then i can not change the Water Shaders in DX10 Scenery Fixer. So can you please provide me a backup of all the original DX10 Backup Files ? thx brgds Chris

Hi, Is there any way I can get the lights to work in Dx10 (w/Fixer) for the ORBX Regions? The lights seem to work with Global but there is a lot of flickering with the Regions Cheers

Hi, For reasons i can´t remember i have these lights effect disabled in REX E+. I remember though it had something to do with DX10 and maybe A2A redux ? :-) Help appreciated :-) Michael Moe

Well it looks like I am going to take the big jump from dx9 to dx10. But I need to know, what is the latest version of Steves dx10 fixer ? Much appreciated Ronny

Hi all, From just prowling this forum, I have noticed more and more DX10 related discussions appearing. I am a tweaker, flies 30% and tweaking 50% (the remaining 20% I don't know what I'm doing), therefore always looking for ways to improve visuals and performances. After doing some reading primarily around this forum, I see there are many problems with DX10, thus the SteveFX fixer come into play, and it does look quite promising (ie saving lot of trouble tweaking manually). But I have a fundamental question to ask, is there a guide/s that explains how one with no DX10 experience could potentially move into the DX10 fields? On that note, can I assume if I ch…

Hello, I've heard a lot of great things about this new DX10 Fixer, including an FPS increase. I think my computer is still in the Jurassic days at DX9 (How do I check?). This sounds like a good purchase, but how does it run? Do you have to enable DX10 Preview mode within FSX to use this product? Or do I have to modify my AMD 6970's settings to change over to DX10? Also, how much of an FPS increase are we talking about? I'm currently running my NGX at ORBX YBBN around 8-10 FPS (mind you, most of my settings sliders are far to the left). Could I get up around 20 FPS in the same scenario with this tool? Thanks very much in advance. :smile:

Hi All, After reading and seeing screen shots of FSX running in DX10 mode I gladly handed over some $$ and got the DX10 fixer. One thing I noticed having converted to DX10 and enabling BLOOM is lights now do not have a soft glow/halo like I was used to seeing in DX9 mode. Is there a slider that needs to be set to show this in DX10? Thanks for the help! Mike

I am thinking of buying a2a 3d lights, I have enabled dx10 and have Steve's fixer. I primarily fly pmdg 777, level-d 767 and pmdg 747 (occasionally) Is it worth buying the lights, will I see an improvement ? Thanks... Hari

After installing FSX Golden I am using only the settings sliders for "tweaking", and so far didn't even try to find where the "cfg" files are under my Windows 7 64 bit OS :-) The performance is great, and I have activated the "DX10" option, but didn't notice any significative difference (?). I have a Geeforce 450 GTX 1GB, thus DX11 compliant, so, I believe it could work on DX10 mode... What exactly does that option do? Should I enable it? Is it only usable with some specific add-on aircraft/scenery?

Hey, Because of the problems I have that makes the DX-10 I decided not to use it, but when I turn it off and load a flight, i get a black screens and the simulator crash. my craphic card is ADM 6800 HD, i have the newer driver of the graphic card. i tried to reinstall my FSX but it didn't help. I'd like to get answers, have a pleasant weekend everyone!

Post here only if you personally have tried the scenery both day and night or if it is mentioned at the developers site to be DX10 compatible. The other thread a bit downwards is not entirely correct. Compatible : FsDreamTeam GSX AS Mega Airport Paris Orly AS Nice Cote dAzur As London City airport FSDG-Djerba X As AES Sim addons : All scenery

I used to have a halo.bmp which were star lights. Wherever this halo.bmp lights were used I used to get the star light. e.g. UT night lights, some airport lights etc. Since I went to DX10 I now have a DX10 compliant halo,.bmp But now my lights are a blobs. I really want the star light Espcially after I saw this. How do I convert my old halo.bmp to be DX10 compaitble? Any help here would be mucho appreciated.

http://www.flightsimstore.com/product_info.php?products_id=2630 I'm asking because I allways had trouble with lights turning on/off when panning the view. Is this the true fix?

I've got my new SSD installed and formatted and have now finished installing FSX Acceleration and the FSX SDK. First aircraft install was the lovely RealAir Beech Duke. I have also installed the DX10fixer which appears to be working correctly (all options available for configuring). Now I've installed it do I need to do anything more with it while I'm installing scenery and other aircraft or will it update each scenery or aircraft to DX10 spec automatically? Should I reinstall it periodically? Adam

I just read something interesting regarding NVIDIA Inspector and Display Settings for DX10 Preview from NickN (the unofficial computer guru and FSX expert) - "In DX10 the application [FSX] will ignore any external AA and filtering commands other than the checkbox and dropdowns in FSX. That is another reason for the perf difference.. there is NO clean and sharp detail AA available in that mode. You are forced to run the low-grade MS hardware set level AA." I suspect this is the reason why I had the best DX10 graphics when I returned my display settings and NI to the default for FSX and turned on AA/AF inside of FSX. The FSX.cfg "tweaks" will still work though. He wrote …

Hi Paul, or anyone else, Is there any possibility that you can reupload the stock ShadersHLSL again? The one in the how to sticky is a dead link. Many thanks! EDIT: Nevermind found it in the how to doc. Please delete this topic!

I've been using all the free bits from Steve ( with great help from Paul J; many thanks Paul ) and I've sorted my fsx.cfg and nVidia Inspector stuff but now I'd like to start over with the payware fixer. What do I need to delete etc. to start fresh? If this has all been posted before, my apologies and please point me to the link. Thank you Regards Symon

Is there an entry either in Nvidia inspector or the FSX.cfg where I can undock a window and move it to my second monitor? Right clicking, say, my AP from the Aerosoft twin otter does not give that option. In windowed mode it is an option and can move it over. I'm sure it used to be available but that may have been in the dark old days of DX9. I've recently changed my graphics card to an OC'd Asus GTX 760. (any connection?) Thank you.

Hello all, I'm new to this and setting up everything the past days. So far I have to say it's wonderful! Only one problem, I can't find anything about this in the forum. This shot was taken during the evening PS: This is Aerosoft Amsterdam :lol:

The option is greyed out in the legacy shaders section of DXTfixer. My Globalenvtest.dds, ac_chrome**.dds and envmap.bmp files in the main texture folders are all stock FSX. Any other reason why it won't let me do this? Fantastic effort at fixing DX10 by the way - apart from a few baggage carts and buses at airsoft LEBL which appear grey at night, fixes everything else I've come across so far. Regards Rob

Installed DX10SceneryFixer. DX9 No problem.. How can we solve? thanks ...

I just loaded my bbsa330 and noticed that my windows look strange now. ( glass looks either dirty or scratched up') is there anything I can do to fix them ? Thankss

Saw this post on the MS blogs and wonder if any of the improvements (including HLSL) translate into anything in FSX...guess we'll know on the 18th! http://blogs.windows.com/windows/b/appbuilder/archive/2013/10/14/raising-the-bar-with-direct3d.aspx

Call me mad (?) but now that I have FSX running sweetly under DX10 I was thinking that it's time to remove FSX from my old 1TB HDD and put it on my brand new 240GB solid state drive! I already have a 60GB SSD for the Windows 7 OS but there's not enough room for FSX on there and would rather keep FSX away from the OS and program file folder/s. As far as I'm aware SSD's are significantly faster than an older HD? It certainly boots my OS much more quickly than previously. Are many of you running FSX from an SSD? Did you see much of an performance improvement? Any tips what/what not to do? Cheers Adam

Title says it all, gonna install anyway and check :blink:
