DX-10 Discussions, Hints and Help

That I forgot about. See post # 7 http://forum.avsim.net/topic/416834-do-i-have-rogue-ai/ I can run ai with settings at or slightly above 50% and have even been @ 70 % using MTX5.4b. I can fly into the heaviest airports with out OOM's, and even CYVR, KLAX and EGLL. I cannot guarantee it will work for everyone, but it sure does for me.

I'm posting this here even though the problem exists now in both DX9 and 10 because I'm not sure if installing DX10 stuff a couple months ago broke something. I wasn't doing much over water flying then. So I've noticed my wave animations seem to be not working correctly. At altitude it looks like the water is "paused". Also sitting on the surface there is a blocky texture floating by. I also just realized (the 2nd picture) that it actually looks like the animation is underneath some weird layer. Any thoughts? I've tried going back to DX9 (uncheck DX10, install new animation in REX with "dx10 optimized" turned off) and going to 32bit vs. dxt1 wave animation and sam…

After downloading the fsxlights.zip from the guide i forgot to backup the originally. Actually my FTX Global lights were working about 50% and now they are just black squares. The files i think is the problem is halo.bmp and fx_2.bmp. The other ones i have taken from the bonus folder in 3.2.2. So i you have the originally or a place to find them then thanks Michael Moe

I've been getting Windows errors when trying to start up FSX while RadeonPro is running (with no profiles configured). If I rename my fsx.cfg and let it load a fresh one, the sim will open to the welcome screen but when I go into Free Flight the sim locks up and Windows tells me it needs to be shut down. Anyone else use this tool with an HD7970?

Hi, a screenshot from the new, wonderful ORBX scenery CBB7 Tipella (freeware) at night. Have a look at the way DX10 is doing the lights. Did anybody experience such a miracle? Looks like billboards for MS Flight Simulator. :lol: I don't know what's the difference to other lights in this case. Thanks Spirit

So more and more people are running DX10 lately and everybody is so excited about how it provides an advantages such as in performance over DX9. But in my case, things seem to work out differently. I have installed the fix by Steve, and it works, no more flashing/flickering, everything is working fine. But in contradiction to what many people say, I am NOT seeing an performance increase. In fact, I am seeing a significant decrease in performance. Now, I have got to admit I am using tweaks in my fsx.CFG to optimize my performance for DX9. I am not running loads of tweaks, but two tweaks I never fly without are PoolSize=0 and HIGHMEMFIX=1. The first one increases my framer…

Hello, is there anyone running Direct X 10 and using Spectre's MTPP? If so, can someone confirm the absence of textures in night mode? Regards, Xander

I am wondering why some lights of addon sceneries works under both DX9 and DX10, while lights of other scenery is only working under DX9... Can't we do something about it, instead of waiting months or years to get an update about the product we have ? Or is it more complicate than opening the file via photoshop and save as something else ?

I have just re-installed FSX and Acceleration fresh to recover from a corrupted install. I had been using DX10 exclusively with what I think may have been the best results possible. Of course, one can always hope to do better. I'm hoping starting from scratch may help. Question: Is there any benefit in applying the tweaks provided by 'Bojote's Tweaking Tool' or those discussed in detail at here? Or will I get the same satisfaction with just concentrating my efforts with Paul J.'s "How To" to optimize my DX setup? I am running FSX in windowed mode spanned across 3 23" monitors using an Nvidia 660ti card. Deciding whether there is any noticeable enhancement running …

Hi All, I have been reading the DX10 forums for a while now and have just taken the leap into changing over. I have managed to get everything setup well so get 20-25 fps with PMDG 737ngx in busy airports which is what I was after. However one problem has arisen. I have and use VoxATC in combination with MyTraffic 2013 yet since the move to DX10 VoxATC no longer displays any AI aircraft. VoxATC loads perfectly fine and operates how it should do except I no longer see any aircraft! Can anyone help with this. As far as I am aware MyTraffic 2013 is DX10 compatible and VoxATC only loads the aircraft into the sim so I cannot understand why the aircraft …

Hi guys, I moved my FSX.cfg to a different folder to let FSX recreate a new one. The old one was full of tweaks, wannabe tweaks, and all kinds of other stuff so I wanted to start fresh. When I'm loading a flight in DX-10 mode, the loading bar comes up off center (almost top left corner of my screen). Then the main panel is zoomed in awfully close. If I cycle the views, it goes back to normal. This doesn't happen in DX9 and didn't happen in DX10 in my old cfg file. I have set WideViewAspect=True. Am I missing something obvious? Are there any cfg entries required to make the DX-10 fix run normal? Thanks :drinks: Ivo

Hi, Can you please help me by guiding how i can install a HD7970 3GB Saphire Vapor-X with a no name Club 3D HD5870. My CCC does not work even using the save mode and reinstalling the software. Everytime i starup CCC the clickspots is greytoned and not clickable Thanks Michael

Hi, first of all thank you very much for developing this patch! I enjoy cockpitshadows and watereffects very much. But... After a while my screen becomes black and Win7-64 brings this message: In engish: the graficcard-driver has been recovered after a failure. Unfortunatly this happens every time after about 10 or 15 minutes flying and the monitor is black after this message. FSX is not down, I hear the engines and can stop simulation with ESC. After that the start menu is visible, but the preview window with the chosen airplane is black. Restarting FSX and everything is okay, until the next breakdown after a few minutes of flying - no metter, where I am…

Before I take the DX10 'Plunge'... I was wondering if anyone that has changed over to DX10 is running a 3-monitor setup using TH2GO ? From what I've read so far there seems to be a bit of an issue running in 'Windowed' mode + that's what I need for my TH2GO set-up. Rick / Canada I5 3570K @ 3.8 Gig. 660TI

I have quite a heavy testflight through a narrow valley in Norway with lots of trees. With DX9 and high settings I am noticing performance isn't optimal and when I look at the fps I notice it is somewhere between 20 and 23 instead of my max of 30. With DX10 (which I am testing once more...) I notice performance is smoother and when I check fps I see it's stable at 30. Great, you would say! Well, no, not really, because the textures are being loaded later and quite obvious too. The flight takes me through narrow valley which makes it easy to see when the textures get loaded and with DX9 the textures are loaded in front of me (something like 100 to 200 meters ahead) but wit…

HI, Newbies to DX10 should headover at FSdreamteam and get KJFK version 2 which is state of the art in DX10 pure FSX code. This is my best FPS friendly airport with the NGX with Autogen max out but water at mid 1x and i am getting 26-34fps on approach rwy 13L in really bad weather AT NIGHT. Flightbeam is simular but i dont think it is supported by DX10 but i have found this KIAD amazing with FPS as well. Hopefully others scenery builders will make these over the years but for know they are kings :-) (CYVR is also a go go) Michael Moe [email protected] HD58701GB Raptor 300GB FSX SSD 128GB W7 64

I installed the shader fix that everyone is talking about. I have tried DX10 before and have really liked it....during the day. I have the issue of not having any airport textures at night and subpar performance during the day at the flytampa airports. This has kept me from staying with DX10. Is the shader fix supposed to fix this? Hopefully so. Is there even a fix for this? What's the cause of it? I have been so curious lately.

Hi guys I'm trying to set up my FSX with DX10 following Paul Docs. Speaking about Bufferpool I'm a bit confused. When I crete the new fsx.cfg is it mandatory or not to insert those strings: [bufferPools] BufferPools=1 PoolSize=10485760 RejectThreshold=524288 I have a GTX 670 and i7 [email protected], which parameters do you eventually suggest me? Many thanks for your help

I found out when using FsTramp in dx10 will crash but with DX9 works perfect.

Does anyone on this list fly the Flight 1 Citation Mustang with DX10? Is so, have you experienced any issues as far as operation etc? "We don't support DX10" is a common way out of product support. As soon as you say DX10, it's automatically the culprit and no further support is offered.

Hi, For some reason my Scansim EKCH will not show correct at night anymore in DX10 after a uninstall of GEX (preparing for the FTX Global) so i ran the setup 3.2.2. again but it does not work for me. I have the pink main buildings again and gates. Can anyone test Scansim EKCH at night to see if i am mistaken my memory ? . Hmm these pink buildings were gone i think Thanks Michael Moe

Was thinking of going back to DX9 until OrbX fixes the DX10 lighting issues in their new FTX Global product. I'm not sure what exactly I need to do to restore to DX9. Is it just uncheck DX10 preview and return to my DX9 Inspector settings? I installed all the various patches including the rain fix, but I'm not sure if those files are specific to DX10 or will affect DX9 as well.

Hi guys! Just ported over to DX10 using the latest fix (bonus package not installed however). I'm still seeing airport vehicles without textures in Aerosofts scenerys - is this normal, or have I not installed the patch correctly? Also, some general traffic (like cars and such around Aerosofts airports) are completely black. Thx to all here at AVSIM for the dx10 help - I'm FLUID and happy in FSX now.. Mas

JV announced it just now on the Orbx forum, plus a temporary fix that probably most of you already know by now (simply turning the lights off completely). http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/62085-dx10-and-ftx-global-fix-being-worked-on/#entry566640

Hi Just a quick question - Should I have the "ALLOW_SHADER_30=1" line ind the config file for DX10. I read somewhere that wave animation does not work correctly if this line is included. Thanks in anticipation Kelvin
