DX-10 Discussions, Hints and Help

During the last months we have optimised the FSX with the given DX10 patch V3.2.1 or V3.2.2. Some files were manually corrected e.g. inside shaderHLSL, aircraft.cfg with ballast.fx, effects folder with several .fx files and fsx.cfg acc. to the helpfull advises from the "how-to" doc. I wonder if the upcoming DX10 fixer will require a vanilla fsx related to DX10, or will the DX10 fixer automatically correct/delete/modify/add our previous corrections too. Wulf

Hi, With the ongoing discussion of FSX DX10 addon compatibility, I decided to make a chart to keep everyone informed and to organize the process. The chart can be found HERE. Please post below to help me keep it updated but please be sure to check the chart before posting so we don't have double posts!

When I go to top down view or any outside view the car texture flickers around on the screen. I tried using DX10 Shader Fixers V3.2.2 from the AVSIM libray but the issue still happens. My specs: CPU: 1.86GHz/2 CPU Graphic Card: Nvidia Geforce GT 610 Memory: 3 GB 32 bit

HI, I should be very grateful for some advice because something very weird has happened. I no longer have the checkbox for the DX-10 preview mode. It was there yesterday and now it has disappeared and I have no idea what might have caused this. I have experimented with DX-10 in the past but without much enthusiasm. Yesterday I decided to have another go and ticked the check box (which was then present) closed down FsX and restarted it. To my surprise FsX would not start, the opening screen would appear and then the programme would just close down. I deleted the fsx.cfg file in order to regenerate it, which worked, but on re-starting FsX I discovered that the DX-10 che…

I switched to DX10 but now I am missing the tooltips, which I need for my A2A C172. So I thought about switching to windowed mode. Will this hurt performance with DX10 or is this the same as with DX9 (depending on the system)? I also wondered if Steve's upcoming tool fixes tooltip...? Anyway, vsync doesn't work in windowed mode (I use Inspector 1/2 Vsyn etc.). The DX10 pdf doesn't say anything about fixing vsync in windowed mode (at least I didn't find it) so I wonder if I should add the vsync tweak to the cfg or not... As it is now I have to choose between DX9 and tooltips and no VC shadows or DX10 and tooltips in windowed mode and no vsync... I like neither of the o…

Probably I am not alone awaiting that dx10 fixer eagerly. Presonally, I would have no problem if it would be published now, even if there were some issues. Honestly, which addon is without? I have already purchased other addons which are still (after one year) more or less in beta stage - but I can live with that as long there is a continuous support and progress of the product. Steve, please don't wait too long to publish your highly anticipated product. Harry

Hello guys Did a quick search but didn't see any relevant results... Am tempted to buy the Majestic Q400 after waiting a few months for the various hot fixes and updates. Do any of you have it and if so does it work well in DX10 mode? Adam

....... works just fine in DX10, all lights correctly functional, day dusk dawn and night. One superb model!

So I just got the PMDG 777 installed and I have DX10 enabled with the shader fixes and all that good stuff from Steve. But as I go to load it up in the menu, something horrifying happens... missing textures on the aircraft. Most notably both of the wings are completely textureless. I switch over to DX9 and everything's fine except for the awful performance and inferior visuals. Can anyone else confirm that there are missing textures on the 777 in DX10? Hope we can get it solved with the fixer app when it is released.

Hi, I have fsx with DirectX 10 installed and i know that it you use DX10 that progressive taxi doesn't work but I have PMDG 737ngx and I have to use DX10 to use the 737 but I need progressive taxi, plz help Thanks

I had FSX running well in DX10 including all nav lights until I upgraded my graphics card. Formerly I had a Nvidia 470 with older drivers as I had experienced some unrelated problems with the newest ones. I then upgraded to a Nvidia GTX 670, iinstalled the latest drivers and had about a 50% boost in frame rates, but I now I have the a problem with the nav lights. It seems for most people, they don't show at all with DX10, but I can usually see them as big semi-transparent squares that will be visible from some, but not all viewing angles. Before my upgrade, they worked just as they did in DX9. I tried substituting the various effects files as suggested in this for…

It has been some time sense I have made a post here on Avsim. I have been running a one man shooter game so here I am now. The last time I had run FSX in the D-10 mode it was freezing on me about 5 minutes into the flight and this happened every flight I was in no matter what plane I few. This AM I decided to print out my FSX.CFG file and take a look. As you can see in my computer information I run (3) 27 inch monitors. Now in Windowed mode I had no freeze ups in FSX. In full screen mode I would have the freeze ups!! I am running my displays in FSX at 5760x1080x32. When I looked on my .CFG printout in the [DISPLAY.DEVICE.NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX580.0] line I noticed the setting…

hello all i am new to this forum. when i turn on preview in direct x 10 i got strobe lights or navigation lights or rotating becaon lights showing. i can see them on AI but not my plane. is there away i can have direct x 10 preview on and all my lights showing as well?

Just out of curiosity, Im wondering what others are getting as a GPU load. I realize FSX is CPU bound, and everyones settings are relative, but it seems my GPU is hardly working and its a meager 660 at that. (Non TI) I get around 25-40% load on average, and even when overcast in a heavy city where fps dips somewhat, it doesnt go much above that. If getting a decent video card like the 780 etc is so important, then im not pushing enough thoroughput to the GPU to work hard enough. I used the nvidia inspector main window , side by side with FSX in windowed mode to observe it. And I run exclusively in DX10. (Thus the DX10 forum post.

Today I am testing DX10 again because I really WANT to use it with the upcoming A2A C172R Trainer: it has awesome VC shadows! This made me dig into DX10 once more and this time I really want to succeed. I had a few problems with DX10 in the past: one was slower loading textures but that problem is simply solved by the C172R itself... because it is a LOT slower than my current default plane, the Lancair Legacy. Another problem was that vsync didn't seem to work well. I am using full screen mode and I have it forced in FSX.cfg but during all my tests 9 out of 10 times I got VERY annoying tearing. Well, because today I am determined to get DX10 working properly (I am…

Hi folks, Appreciate that this isn't a product support forum for the Concorde X but wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same problem as me and/or is their a fix or workaround? I've just switched to running in DX10 Preview - applying the shader fixes mentioned in this forum With Concorde X as soon as the aircraft is powered the ADI spins around to show a plain white ball - all of the pitch and nav guides appear on it still but no horizon. The strange thing is the ADI shows fine when the aircraft is un-powered: Any ideas? Thanks Rob Wilkinson

...but I hate cats anyway, so here is another question from me that has no real importance but well... I'm just curious. ^_^ As I posted elsewhere already I am switching to DX10 today because of the A2A C172R Trainer which has great VC shadows. While testing stuff and checking settings I discovered my DX10 profile, which I created and exported some time ago, is different from the profile shown in the DX10 guide. After that discovery I copied all settings from the DX10 guide and gave them a try but boy... that didn't look good at ALL...!!! Now the weird thing is that I have no idea where I got my settings from... I tested them once more, compared them with the guide's …

Awaiting the release of the A2A C172R Trainer I am trying DX10 again. Main reason is the (so it seems) excellent VC shadows that plane will have. In my current default plane (RealAir Legacy) I didn't get any shadows in the VC and that was one of the reasons I didn't feel the need to stick with DX10. Another reason were the slower loading textures. However, with the C172 my speed will be considerably slower so that solves the slower loading texture problem. Now I noticed that while testing DX10 with the default C172 I could hardly see the VC shadows. I remember giving it a try in the past and the shadows were VERY obvious (also because they were so jagged). However, wi…

Hello... is posible to have vsync in DX10 mode? I have nvidia, and with the last drivers no vsync in DX10... Thanks!

Recently I had to do a total uninstall and reinstall of FSX due to some problem that just couldn't be fixed. It was probably due to something stupid I did but don't know what it was. I had many expert AVSIM members over several days trying to get me up and flying but nothing worked. Prior to the re-install I used DX10 100% of time. Steve's shader files, bonus files, and Paul's "How to" Notes brought us FSX10. However, after a clean install of FSX and now adding addons I have run into a problem with DX10, which I didn't have before. I am now epxeriencing some "white" airplanes, which I think are the Orbx AI. ( sure some are ok) I did not have this problem with Orbx…

Guys, I am having issues with trees shimmering in DX10 on London X! Any thoughts?...Have Steve`s patch on!

Just a heads up for those DX10 users that want to get the new Orbx FTX global textures that just came out. It was reported earlier that it was DX10 compatible but that does not appear to be the case for using the complete FTX Global (textures and new night lighting. People who have DX10 and purchased found that they get black dots during daylight in the squares where the night lighting is supposed to be. Buyer beware. You've been warned.

Hey guys! I've been running FSX with a full list of addons and very good results, it is impressive! I do have a few problems though that I've read is fixed with DirectX 10 and I am now wanting to give DX10 a try. Problem is, (like with everything else FSX) I am unsure where to start, what addons are supported, etc. For those of you who use DX10 with FSX, could you chime in with what I need to know/do to get up to speed with DX10? Much appreciated! Thanks! Oh almost forgot, I am running Windows 7 64bit.

Well Guys my lights in FTXGlobal is working with DX10 and default FSX effects folder. Only issue is daytime with black squares. Thats weird is it not ? Btw. Be carefully with Displayport-adapteres. The can really screw thing up Michael Moe

Hi, I instaled DX10 scenery fixer, but same airplanes look all white, sceneries are ok. Can we help me, please. Look screenshot, thanks, Zbynek
