DX-10 Discussions, Hints and Help

Hi all, could someone please point me to the black bkg file that replaces the blue one in DX10 FSX. Thanks in advance.

I have tried: ForceFullScreenVSync=1 ForceWindowedVSync=1 NInspector : Adaptive, Force On, 1/2 frame rate Nothing works. At spot view, there is no screen tearing, but in VC, there is a lot. What can I do?

The link in PJ's "how to doc" is a dead link, does anyone have a link to this file?

My experiences after 3 weeks DX10 testing: Patch: shader DX10 V3.1 easily to be installed "plug and play". A must have. Performance: Not easy to get the FSX.cfg individually optimized, but thanks to the outstanding staff-forum contribution I got it ..... ~20% better FPS vs. FS9. There is no mandatory need for FSX.cfg tweaks, but a lack of visual and FPS performance will be the consequence. NV inspector is the key, otherwise partially flickering e.g. taxiways was not managable. No more desktop crashes. Visual impression: Scenery shadows and brightness are more realistic. Default clouds are ok and "borderlines" of adjacent clou…

I've been struggling with OOMs even though I have a new computer. I could make an OOM error consistently by just flying over Aerosoft's US Cities Los Angeles, especially with the Coolsky's/McPhat DC-9. I couldn't even get near LAX. Then I read these forum on using DX-10. I made the changes, downloaded and installed the suggested files and....VAVOOM!! Now I can fly circles around Aerosoft's Los Angeles and FSDT's LAX with the DC-9 as smooth as butter. I can't believe the difference. FSX seems like a brand new sim again! I'm almost afraid to celebrate. The dream may end :mellow:

In Directx 10 with fixes it doesn't seem to like the bloom very well, reckon it would be possible to replace the bump/specular to fix this? Anyone come across this before?

Happy 2013 everyone! First time poster and somewhat long time reader here. I have been reading, with much fascination, the thread entitled "DX10 Flashing Runways - Experimental Shader". I want to insert a big thank you here to Steve for what he has done to help the FSX enthusiast community. Having read the topic thread through to the end (lockdown), I now understand that the needed first step, before attempting to apply this breakthrough, is to verify that FSX will start and run properly the in DX10 preview mode. That is where I ran into a problem. Like so many other FSX users I have been running in DX9 mode for the entire time that I have been using FSX. My FSX D…

Curious what everyone is using to record video in FSX when using Directx10? I have Fraps 3.x and it seems that both screen shots and video do not work if you are running in Directx10 mode. Anyone else ran into this? Thanks

when raining in DX10, I get a dry circle around my aircraft Any fix?

The 310.70's are out and I am just wondering if there is any benefit for DX10. I think there was some discussion here about them when they were in beta but have not hear anything since.

Hi, After successfully making the transition to DX10 i did a flight in which the airport had light snow. The snow looked very bright and seemed to make a radius on the ground just outside the cockpit when i was looking out. My question is, is the snow supposed to be so bright and white? Because it looks way different than snow in DX9. Im not at home right now so i cant provide a screenshot. As soon as im able to i will so you know what i mean better. Thank you!!! Alejandro.

Hi Guys My dx10 setup is running along nicely, with GA and warbirds running at least 30fps and complex airliners like the NGX about 23-25fps. However I've hit a snag on the ERJ. For some reason it's stuck at 17-18fps. My CPU and Video card are not maxing out, so it's not my system holding it back but something config related or programming related. Does anyone else run the ERJ with directx10? What is your experience with it compared to the other addons?

I have spent a good 2 days trying Steve's fix. It does not work for me - I get nothing but problems with it. 1) I have run the registry files from avsim library 2) Remove the shader 10 folder 3) Enabled FXAA from nvidia inspector 4) Made sure the fiber setting is set to 0.1 in fsx.cfg 5) I use the widely accepted FSX.cfg tweaks with affinity masks, and so on. I have every single option updated/added/removed from my config file. 6) In nvidia inspector I have AA set to 32x, AA Transparency set to 8x Sparse Grid, AF set to 16x, and vsync set to 1/2. Problems: 1) I get weird artifacts all over the place. They are quite colorful and originate from ground/air/…

If I set AA in Nvidia Inspector as indicated, but use MultiSamplesPerPixel=4 in fsx.cfg, what AA am I effectively running at?! Should I be dropping down to 4XS? Thanks much.

Hi Guys, Just switched to DX10 with the fixes, amazing on my box! Anyway for AI I'm interested in the fix for UT2 aircraft lights i.e. this one (http://www.bleedair.de/ultimate-traffic-2-fsx.html) Has anybody done it, and my main question is: What is the impact on FPS? I like to run lots of traffic, but if the lights are all now 3D for ALL my traffic, isn't that going to cause a big performance decrease?

I want to go to DX10 (or atleast try it out) and I have some Q 1) For me to revert back to DX9, all I have to do is replace the files in folder ShadersHLSL in FSX and then delete the two folders (Shaders and Shaders10). Is that correct? This is my most important survival Q. 2) Without installing any of the DX10 fix yet, I just tried DX10 and I get a peculiar performance hit...and also these blue square tiles that appears and dissappears all over the terrain and in aircrafts Would that issue go away? 3) I I have the nvidia driver 306.xx I don't want to change it to 310 yet.... Is that ok? 4) I have updated the inspector to the latest and have backe…

Hi all, I just finished a full clean install of fsx and all my addons and also switched to DX10. All my aircraft work but when i fly the turbine duke and i try using the garmin 530w by reality xp it doesnt even turn on. if i bring up the gps window then it just shows whatever is in front of the plane on the gps display. Anybody experiment with dx10 and reality xp? thanks in advance Alejandro.

Hi All; I recently re installed FSX and setting up for DX10. After following the steps outlined in the getting started document, I fired up FSX and MTX was not providing any airline traffic for the NYC area. There WAS GA traffic up and about however. My question is: Has anyone experienced no airline traffic in DX10? If so how did you cure it? I'm not sure if this is a DX10 issue or a MTX Pro issue, so I'm posting here first. PS I DO have airline traffic set to 20% I DO have Addon Convertor X running

Hello everyone. Thanks to PJ and other talented stuff here, I have made a decision to switch to DX10. I have read almost everything in this forum and come to the point: 'I guess I will stick to DX10!' I have few issues, maybe someone have seen it or even fixed this: - lights ave visible only from certain angle (A2A Shockwave and Airport vehicles landing lights, UTX night lightning). My guess is - nothing can be done here... - bloom effect - I do not see any difference between enabled and disabled. When enabled, the sun is smaller than a plankton. Could it be the custom halo.bmp? - when i have Overcast and thunderstorms, I have huge triangles appearing all over the …

Hi, I can't seem to get rid of the runway number/runway line shimmering... I am running 4XS+4XSGSS

Hi, I looked at FSX DX10 compatible addons thread and there are not so many.. Which addons do you use ?

Hi guys! According to the install instructions of the great DX10 shader, I wanted to test if the DX10 preview runs with FSX. I ticked the relating box in FSX and restarted it; the blue start window appears (in task manager you can see fsx.exe appearing) and after one or two seconds, FSX and the blue start window close (it dissapears in task manager). I am using Win7 with a GTX570 with DX11 installed. Do you have any ideas how to get FSX to work with DX10 preview mode? Thanks! David

So I decided to switch to DX10 once and for all and overall I'm very happy with it. There are still 2 little things that annoy me though. 1) I can't get AA to be as nice as it was in DX9 (I don't know if it's actually possible) but I can live with it, it isn't that bad. 2) I have some flashing texture problems that I never experienced in DX9, see picture below. The default texture is flashing for a split second and then goes back to normal. This flashing is completely random as well but it seems to be more frequent when flying low. I noticed that I had the water effects set to high instead of mid and after changing it back it's been a lot better. But it'…

I posted an earlier question about shimmering and Land Detail Textures and one response indicated that the problem I was showing was not DX10 shimmering. Here is a higher resolution screen grab of a flight over Harbor Island between Elliott Bay and KBFI. FSX is running with ORBX Pacific Northwest scenery, GEX, UTX, REX. FSX generates 23 - 28 FPS as shown here. - Does this picture show "shimmering" or is this some other DX10 problem? The effect is only noticed in the tiles immediately under the aircraft. All other textures are sharp and clear. I see no problems with fences, runways, or clouds. FSX is running DX10 with Land Detail Textures checked on …
