DX-10 Discussions, Hints and Help

Hi, I was wondering if this is known issue where 2 video cards will not run in DX10 I just recently added 2nd card GFX570 and FSX would crash in DX10... as soon as i select FLY.. the main window with music loads, but that's it.. :( so my set up is as follows GFX670 runs the 3 Monitor in NV 2D Surround + 1 Accessory Display GFX570 runs another 2 monitors All works well in DX9 FULLS SCREEN, but not in DX10.. just crash with Kernel errors.. etc.. Wondering if anyone with similiar set up can run DX10 well or maybe its a known limitation or something Thanks

Ok if anyone is using Aerosoft's Munich scenery can they please advise how to get rid of the white textures that appear on some of the ground vehicles? As I understand it there is some texture conversion that is needed and I've tried using this Addon Converter X tool but it seems to need a program called ImageTool which apparently isn't compatible with Windows 7 64bit. I don't want to use the DX10 preview mode with these sceneries because they bork the night lighting. Is there any reason why these so called developers can't be assed making DX10 compatible textures? It isn't that much extra work surely?

I went back to DX9 until some issues fixed in DX10 but I have shimmering at cockpit, buildings and runways. What am I doing wrong?

It was nice after I figured out how to install it LOL. Here are my likes: I liked how fluid FSX felt. I liked how changing from full screen to windowed mode was almost instantaneous. Felt like a whole new sim. Here are my dislikes: AA & AF was an issue even with the NI settings, lots of jagged edges and shimmering. Water looked terrible. AI on VATSIM were without liveries and were stark white. Could not add an ENB tweak. DX10 Testing Pics and Settings is broken so I was on my own there. So I have reverted back to DX9 for the time being, I think I did it right by copying the General10.fx.ORIG to General10.fx, (instructions are a little vague) and finall…

Dear forum members, today I started a long range flight from Kai Tak to Tokio. The beginning was perfect, no stutters and I had 30 FPS. After flying for 2 hours the Simulator began to stutter and near Tokio before landing the framerate decreases to 4-8 FPS. I tried another flight and after 2 hours flying again the framerate decreases permanently. Do you have any hint what I can try? I never had such problems before, as long I was flying with DX9. Best Christoph

... never used DX10 before. never even tried it. Anyway, I did check the Box on the setting, restarted FSX & it doesn't really comes up, though I see it on the Task Bar, I can't bring it to the front. Any idea how to restore back to DX9 ???? Thanks Yair

Coming here to get the DX10 experts take on whether these help those of us using DX10 ? Also, not sure if these are official or just beta.

Can you guys using the latest Nvidia beta driver 310.54 tell me if you see any changes by setting your Texture Filtering . LOD bias in the negative (not telling what change in case of a placebo effect on my part). I set mine as far as -3.000 Thank you for trying it and reporting back.

OK fellas, I need some help and advice with DX10. I have now tried about three times to run with DX10 but to no avail. I have followed the detailed procedure that was posted on the fourm by Paul J, but I still cannot get anywhere near an acceptable FSX. I cannot get Vsync to work, my framerates are halved, the AA is useless and I am getting odd graphics behaviour like the two pics show. Can anyone please help and offer me some advcie, cheers guys...

First off I want to thank everyone who has been working on this and that has given tips and help to set this all up. I am extremely happy with the way FSX and DX10 runs. I do have a question though. What settings via REX, or an outside source or tweak do you guys know/use that makes the water a little more alive? While the colors now of my water is absolutely beautiful, I am wondering what setting you use to make the waves more pronounced. Maybe it is just me, but it seems that the only side effect of running DX10 that I am having is that my water looks way calmer than before, maybe slower? Maybe less pronounced in wave animation. I am running REX-E, with Sparkli…

Hi, I wanted to download the example configurations from the How-To pdf/doc, but the link (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vlfu2tok9i1mthw/xn5ROjNgyh) is broken. Can anyone provide a new download location? Thanks

One Of the Library Admins Showed me how good Dx 10 Looks so I decided to give it a go, Overall it looks very Promising but I'm having a problem with Flashing Ground and cloud textures, i have been playing with the Buffer Pools settings and it has settled down some but not Completely, I;m also seeing the FSX start screen flashing outside the vc instead of the Anti collision Lights (tried to get a screenie but wasn't fast enough) i can look at it for minutes and it won't do it until i look away and then look back ?? I must be Missing Something other than that i think i will like it. Thanks for your time Martyb

Is anyone running Ultimate Traffic 2 and the DX10 preview. When I run under DX9, traffic gets injected but under the DX10 preview there are no planes or AI traffic. I tried using the Addon ConverterX demo and nothing appears either. Thanks, Daniel

I really enjoy DX10 features. However I also encounter currently non solvable problems e.g. with non compatible night textures on airports I would like to handle and non functionable effects in highly sophisticated aicrafts like FLIR in VRS' TacPack. I now wonder whether there is a simple way to select before or on startup of FSX whether DX10 or non-DX10 mode with all the respective parameters (within fsx.cfg but also NvidiaInspector, etc.) shall run. Any good idea on that?

First of all, I would like to thank and congratulate all involved in the fix for DX10 in FSX. Your effort has been invaluable. I'm new to FSX, and for the last two weeks I have spent more time tweaking and experimenting on it than logging flying hours. Using DX9, I was having sttutering and lagging using TrackIR, with low FPS in top of it. With DX10, no problem using TrackIR, and higher FPS than I ever expected (100+). However, my system became too unstable. Suddenly, in the middle of the game, system shutdown. It was at random. Initially I thought it was GPU and CPU overheating problem, but it turned out to be the use of Anti-Aliasing with DX10. Took me a while to fi…

Just heard from Martyn Northall at JustFlight, and he has confirmed the Traffic 360 IS DX10-comptible! All the Best, pj

Besides having to pay for a $30 program that does not work on all textures all the time, lets post some info on how to manually convert all those white or grey or missing textures so they work and show up properly in DX10 preview mode. There must be some FSX modelers and texture pros that know how this can be done. Lets get those airplanes and airports looking proper folks!!

So there is a saying... If it aint broke don't fix it... BUT... I see all these new textures in AS2012 and REX and decide it's time for a cosmetic update... 1) Install new textures (new REX) 2) Load up FSX (in DX10 of course) 3) Red Progessive taxi markings and missing lights 4) Re run the 3.1.1 shader batch file 5) Batch file says "Sorry these are not the originals (HLSL)" 6) Try to install manually... no runways or taxi ways no progressive taxi I'm trying to get A ) DX10 working correctly B )All the fixes applied How do I manually apply the patch if the batch file is saying not original? For the HLSL, should I do a FSX fix from the control panel? La…

Hello everyone, So I followed this(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/52676345/DX10_Fix/Notes/DX10%20Notes.pdf) and did everything same but my Antialiasing is not working .. I have latest drivers and GTX 560. I have set all settings in nvidia inspector and it still does not work. Help appreciated Thanks!

Hi I boarded the dx10 ship some days ago and I'm quite happy so far. Many Thanks to Steve and Paul and all the others in this forum who made it such easy to use and enjoy fsx now in dx10 mode. I actually needed about one hour to get it to run. Bush flying with Carenado's C172 or C208 in ORBX-FTX areas/airports is simply great now. Some smaller issues I have: Even with constant 30 fps I get those micro stutters every 5-10 sec. Is there a solution? When ac self shadow are enabled, I get those jagged shadow lines in VC. I guess this is a known AA bug and the only solution is to leave ac self shadows off. Right? Is there anything what can be done against …

Hi there, today I asked Don Grovestine, designer for several outstanding freeware Canada airport sceneries, how to convert FS8/FS9 static aircraft to full FSX compliant models. He answered as follows: .... I just realized I do have a solution for the "grey" static aircraft. While those static aircraft are FS9 scenery models derived from FS8/9 aircraft models converted with SAMM, the latest version of SAMM has the capability to convert FS8/9 aircraft to FSX static models. ....All the aircraft models used to generate the FS9 static model are listed at the back of the CYYJ and CYCD User Manuals. You can download SAMM from my website (http://stuff4fs.com ),…

Since I'm having issues w/ the Flight1 Cessna and DX-10 I would like to try and make a plane work. My questions are, which planes are best to try and alter and will still work in DX-10. I read online about adding gauges to the Carenado C172 but it can be difficult since you can't get below the base texture for the main panel. Any thoughts on this? After reading about the Carenado C172 issues with attempting to add gauges, I was lead to the Carenado C182Q and the C182 II RG. From what I read they are much easier to work on and allow you to add/edit more on the panel.cfgs. Any thoughts? I would like to purchase either Simflyer or Reality XP gauges to do the…

To all the DX10 pilots and the converted DX10 pilots... I finally found a KLAX airport that is as photo real as you are going to get :yahoo: !!!! LIKE THE SAYING GOES.. "BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME"!!! Thanks to FSDREAMTEAM they did it again!!! It is a great feeling that we now have a team on our side and will expand our DX10 experience :yahoo: Paul J showed me the FSDTEAMTEAM,COM site and the KLAX DX10 download. It took about 5 seconds to make my mind up and purchase it for a download. And I will say I have not looked back sense. It is a joy to fly around KLAX and just View the great work that they have done with this product! I can ramble on and on, this one yo…
