DX-10 Discussions, Hints and Help

Hi all, I use Steve´s DX 10 Patches since August 2012 and I was very impressed about his work and the famous DX 10. I doesn´t fly at night because I known there was some problems with the Airport Lights. But now, after the Fixer, I thought their must be a couple of Airports without this issues. Until now I have found not one. On all Add-On AP like Frankfurt, München, Stuttgart, Friedrichshafen, Zürich, Paderborn but even the bigger ORBX AP like Jackson Hole or Ketchikan have flashing and blinking taxiwaylights, runwaylights, approach lights and so on. In daytime all works well but at night its horrible. Is this normal or have I done something wrong? Regards Ralf

Just a few questions. I'm running Steve's Fixer at the moment and I'm in DX10. I want to do some comparison tests and would like to get back to DX9. The manual tells you to simply switch your Direct X mode from the fixer. Just to clarify, I don't need to uninstall the library, right? So before going back to DX9, I'm just going to disable DX10 compatible lights and effects in the fixer, then switch Direct X mode to DX9. Is this correct? No need to uninstall the library or do anything else? Also, can I delete my fsx cfg after going back to DX9? There's a few modifications in my cfg but I want to start with a fresh one for DX9. Is it safe to delete the cfg af…

Does anyone have this working with dx10 and the fixer? I am getting reflective squares around the taxi and runway lights.

I have spent over six hours trying to get my Vsync to work with the new DX10 fixer, but I'm slowly beginning to think that it will not work with two montiors in fullscreen mode. Can someone PLEASE confirm this or otherwise. If not, then surely there must be some fix or something. I am receiving a lot of well intentioned advice from people, but am getting nowhere fast. Thanks fellas... BTW, I have followed all the correct suggestions and procedures ie, remove fullscreenvsync from the cfg, add disablepreload, and run 1/2 refresh rate in NI and lock at 30fps.

I had and have alot of pain switching from HD5870 to a 7970 3Gb ghz. Did not believe that in the first place but here i am tryiing to find the best driver experience outhere. The new betadrivers does not work and my ccc still cant open in Windows 7 64bit regardless all the fix out there. Does Radeonpro replace the functions of ccc? For now i can change settings in the windows taskbar by rightclicking ccc. Thanks Michael

It seems that since I use DX10 I have no more AI cars. I seem to remember reading about this earlier on but I can't find the post anymore. Anyone knows what's happening and how I can get my cars back?

This is another experimental fix. This time the fix is to the non working aircraft nav lights. There are two separate issues - the lights that aren't there but shine (e.g beacons, nav lights) and the lights that are there but point towards the coockpit (strobe, recog) I going to deal with them in two posts as separate issues. Don't try this if you have third party lights that already work with DX10 already or you mainly want to use DX9. The change could have some small impact on DX9 performance - I don't think its at all significant though. The fix is very simple but you do have to make a small modification to each aircrafts configuration file. 1) …

Hi, The Cielosim airport enhencer HD is on sale at pcaviator. Is this compatible with Dx10 or Dx10fixer ? Thanks. Michel

How do you get rid of the rain umbrella around the plane? I have Steve's fixer but it didn't fix it for me. Thanks. Jim

Hi guys, Just wondered if anybody could help me out with some problem textures in DX10? Started a flight from Birmingham to Zurich, the textures were fine at the start of the flight (although a very dull sky, which may also be a problem lol) until i broke through the cloud barrier on final approach and my world looked like this... I'm using DX10 Preview Mode, Ultimate Terrain Europe, ORBX Global and England and REX. Any ideas guys?? Thanks

With Fixer HD Jet Shadows, I'm seeing this menacing phantom shadow from an unknown source lurking with me in the cockpit. Very creepy! :Pumpkin: My jet is stationary so the VC shadows should be too (and mostly are). But as I pan around the cockpit, an ominous shadow passes over. I've only noticed it in one tubeliner so far (MV B732) and it does not occur at angles to the sun. What's causing that shadow and is there a workaround? Here's a short clip: http://youtu.be/fi0j0O944kY

First I really like DX10 fixer. The smoke and water spray no longer flashes in time with the aircraft lights. Yipee. Now the stupid bit. The way scenery items 'pop up' really annoys me. Is there some way they can be made to 'fade' in if you know what I mean? Is it a result of the way things are 'drawn' in FSX, or is it far more complicated than that. Sorry Peter

Couple of quick questions regarding the new fix As I've been running dx10 for a while and have already tweaked a fair bit I have a question regarding the dx10 AA option on the controller I have set my AA settings in the NVidia inspector to 4xS [Combined: 1x2 SS + 2x MS (D3D only)] should I set it to 4x or do I leave it blank ? and one final thing so far is my rain shader is grayed out but I don't think I updated the rain previously whats the best option to do here to ungray it? thanks p.s Anyone that had white runway at LPMA using aerosoft Madeira this has fixed it

Posting this in a new thread so others who do not know will see it. If you have this in your fsx.cfg; DawnDusk Smoothing=1 change it to 0 Some airports will give a wet look, almost like a lake if it is set to 1 during dusk n dawn Airports like Flightbeam and Fly Tampa. Not all airports have this issue. Ft Dubai works night n Day, but the Papi lights don't work in DX10. You can disable them in the dubai scenery dir

Guys, same problems here.... - Managed to reduce stutters in straight flight but have micro stutters while banking... - Struggling to go beyond 27fps at UK2000 EGLL i7 2600K oc'd to 4.4Ghz GeForce GTX 670 Request you to take a look at my cfg file.

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!

Airport KTPA Taxiway edge lights and Taxiway lights Have used DX10SceneryFixer Software May I ask how to do...

I use rex and had animated waves in dx9. In dx 10, no matter what I do, I keep getting animated waves without reflections. I am using the shader fixer 3.2. Is there a way to start fresh with water textures in order to bring back the nice looking water with reflections? thanks tc

Hi Forum, I'm simply at my wit's end after trying to get DX10 working for the past three days. Under DX9 everything was just peachy, but I was intrigued by what I have heard and seen about and with DX10. So I got Steve's Fixer, applied it, started up a flight and only got a black screen. Sound, the mouse and cockpit hotspots showed up - but nothing else. In the meantime I've "repaired" Acceleration, let the fsx.cfg rebuild itself, re-downloaded and installed my nvidia drivers (I currently have 320.18 running for my GTX580), set my graphics to the absolute minimums. Unchecked the shaders in the fix. Nothing. Black screen with the Trike at Friday Harbor every time. …

I've read that having two fsx.cfg entries can harm performance in DX10. However, when I try to get rid of one of the entries, my FSX reverts to another display resolution on startup. Resetting it to the correct value creates a second entry in the fsx.cfg file: [DISPLAY.Device.NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580.0] Mode=1920x1080x32 Anisotropic=1 [DISPLAY.Device.NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580.0.0] Mode=1920x1080x32 Anisotropic=1 How do I keep from getting a second entry popping up?

Hi Guys, Installed the DX10 Scenery Fixer yesterday and all is working well. I remember originally seeing a separate program listed in my start menu--I think DX10 Tool. But I can't find it anywhere now(!). I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything but still no DX10 tool. I feel like I'm totally losing it lol. Can anyone help me here? Are there two separate programs (it seems so from the manual) and if so, where the heck is it? or how do I access it? Thanks in advance and long-live Dx10 (and Steve!) Alex M.

Bought DX10 Scenery Fixer from the flightsim store yesterday. The download does not have the user manual. Am I alone or am I supposed to download it from somewhere else. This is the first time I intend to explore the DX10 option. Now that I have the fixer, can someone guide me on what care should I take before installing the fixer just in case I have to revert to DX9 later Regards Teddy

Why is my "Water Shader" can not open

Never tried DX10 but have the option so ticked the box, applied V3.2.2 shader fix booted up and ..lost 1/2 my frame rates. Reading other posts most seem to get a significant improvement ...maybe something lacking in my system ?? I've been told that I have a low end system ..NO graphics card ..have the Intel family graphics with 1.6G built into the processor chip itself. Even so with all sliders at max ..except autogen down 1 notch from extreme to very dense. Cars 17% boats and ferries around 80% (after 10 years with FS9 I simply must have cars and boats) Frame rates locked at 30fps , sitting on my base tarmac under DX9 NO hit Identical shot with DX10 …
