DX-10 Discussions, Hints and Help

I've been experimenting for some time to try and get the sim running better under load, and was trying to get to the same level of performance with locked frames as with unlimited frames (the performance disparity is especially evident in complex scenery, at high traffic airports, and/or when running high-detail aircraft). But... after a fair bit of tinkering with various texture "throttles", I think I've chanced upon a setting that works in DX10 and seems to bridge that gap. My settings are very close to those recommended in Paul's how-to doc, and AA in the DX10 Fixer is set at 4X. The only difference is the addition of the following under the "Display" section of th…

Is there someone who has a solution for two problems? one is a rainfix for multiple monitors second is big papi lights I have dx10 from steve but he says that it was not ment for 3 screens so he pointed me to this forum looking forward hearing from you

Anyone tried these drivers, yet? I've had a few problems recently, and would like to know if there is a consensus on "best" curent GF drivers for FSX/DX10? My current card is a GTX 680 Classified. Jim

Hi, Ive installed steve his dx10 fixer from scratch with stock shaderhlsl folder. Now it is all setup but still EHAM is all GREY at night. Steve said it would work with eham... Can someone help or has a idea what i did wrong? Also the ftx global lights are small and not so appearing as in dx9 is there a fix for that? Many thanks I wonder if the dx10 fixer does work for me as the file General10.fx is still unchanged from 2007

Hey everyone, I posted this a few days ago under the vector lights thread in the orbx section. No replies, so I'll try again here; where it seems to be more active and readied help. I have the fixer loaded up, made my changes etc. I have win 7 Ult 64, GTX580 1.5gb,16GB Ram, water cooled, FSX Accel.. i7 2600k OC 4.3ghz OK, here we go. I've tweaked my UTX lights using Michael Swannicks FSXLights fix. Got rid of those UTX globes, looks great. However, just using the intersection lights, I'm getting some choppy performance in heavy areas such as KLAS FSDT, I don't look at frame counters..just look for smoothness to me. I have purchased, but not install…

Just wondering which add-on airports do work properly with the dx10 fixer Paul

Hi, Ive installed dx10 fixer. I unninstalled the old freeware version. By renaming generig.fx.ORIG to generic.fx again and removed the patch.txt files. Now in the dx10 fixer the rain fix option is greyed out. So i think that file is not default. Can someone upload the default file or default ShaderHSHL folder. Many thanks for the help!

Anyone know why it's gone? I was on my way to purchase it.

Hello! The Tacpack addon for the Superbug has a Flir mode where you can see the TV camera in one of the screens (MFD). This feature only works in dx9 and seems never is going to be fixed from their part in DX10. Maybe there is nothing they can do, but maybe DX10 fixer can do anything about it? Incredible software.. Now you make a DX11 support.. and Goodbye Prepar3D!! Thanks!

Hey Paul, So much appreciate the effort gone into this... well done and thanks for your tireless support in these forums! now, I have read most of the forums discussion about AA etc.. and have settled with the attached... i seem to be getting stutters for some reason... Any chance you could take a look at the following and see if i am way off the beaten track? Ive copied my CFG here and also my inspector settings.... it must be user error form my end as others are humming!

I am not sure if anyone has brought up this message from flightsim concerning installation of DX10 Fixer. I received the following message from them late last night. If this has already been discussed please forgive. I unfortunately installed DX10 into my FSX directory. Bad boy on my part. If you did as well please read the message below. "This is an important message regarding your purchase of SteveFX - DX10 Scenery Fixer. Please take note of the information in this email. It has come to our attention that the Install Location screen for the installer of this product indicated that you should select the main FSX folder location on your computer as the destin…

Things are looking very good, but the panels appear to have some kind of haze and a peculiar brightness, as if the screen contrast were lowered and the brightness were increased. These are effects that I see only with Dx10, since I have not altered any video brightness or contrast. The text is very sharp and I like it. It's only this haze that brightens everything. I don't have bloom on. Clearly, there must be some line either in Nvidia inspector or elsewhere that needs tweaking. tony

I have switched from w8 to w7 again and installed fsx and rest from schratch first tried dx 9 and all went well then installed dx 10 and the 3 full screen picture doesnot come forward only one and that one is broken picture the resolution for the screen are right as well in fsx when i switch back to dx9 all is perfect and switching to dx10 gives one broken screen picture and the rest is all black any idea?

Hello Folks, I have used SweetFX successfully for a number of months now, and I keep reading posts from people saying they are using it on the DX10 preview, and I just don't see how that's possible. I want to start using that DX10 addon that is available for purchase to assist in making DX10 work correctly, but I want to have SweetFX in DX10. So long and short, here is my problem: When using SweetFX and I switch to the DX10 preview, SweetFX no longer works until I switch back to DX9. My question: If SweetFX works with DX10, how do I get it to function? Is there something in the settings I am missing? Thanks for all your help in advance!

Hi guys, Just a quick one: When I look at the sun in DX10 (both with and without Steve's Fixer) it appears pretty small and has no/very little glow or glare to it. If I turn off bloom it does seem to get more of a glowing edge and looks better but it feels as though something is missing with bloom enabled. Any thoughts much appreciated. Robert

Dear DX10-users, I wanted to try out the setting-files for SweetFX mentioned in the How-To-Document. But sadly the first link is dead. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52676345/DX10_Fix/SweetFX/SweetFX_settings.txt Can I find it elsewhere or can somebody provide the settings-file? best regards Martin W.

These black boxes appear at night time around the lights. Also, Runway lights seem to flash on an off periodically according to camera orientation in the VC or outside The scenery is Imaginesim KATL 2012. I have Steve's fixer. Moving the Legacy slider full left solved the lights, but the taxiways disappear.

I'm currently evaluating the DX10 Fixer, and have a problem that I haven't seen reported in any of the other posts yet. Using DX10 mode, the base of the Millenium Dome and every single tree in Horizon VFR London X scenery are flashing like Christmas Trees. I am including a screenshot, but of course you can't see the twinkling in a still picture. This doesn't happen in DX9, so I'm wondering if there is a cure? Dave.

hey guys, i am currently using dx9 with my rig on the "my computer" section. what are the pros and cons of dx10? should i migrate dx10? can you give some informations and comparsions? thanks.

....how do I get my sun to look like this in dx10? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjCNlBvMsag

I've been running EZdok and DX9 for many years without an issue. After installing the Fixer, when FSX loads up, the cockpit views are inoperable. I have to close EZdok and then restart it in order to have the view functions working again. I am curious to hear from others... tony

I have not seen this posted yet. There's a lot of discussions on-going since the release of Steve's DX10 Fixer and it's hard to keep up on all the fixes. I just checked out FSDT KORD and there still is a small issue with the taxiway and runway green lights. As you can see the lights appear (they use to be covered with a grey or white block); however, there is some black remnants sounding each light. Just wondering if this is what others are seeing too. Perhaps I didn't configure my DX10 Fixer properly. Thanks. If this is what others are seeing I have no problems with it. At least you can see the green lights and taxi. Best regards, Jim

hello, i have a Question. Dx10 has Runned very Good on my PC (2500K at 5,1 GHz und NViDIA 660 TI). then I installed FTX global and dx10 dont work anymore. After installing the fixer everything Works, but the Performance, so far Ican remember, is lower. Equal or little bit less then dx9. Has anyone else made this experience?
