Hi, I just have now re-installed FSX clean with Windows 8 and I decided to delve into the DX10 manual and give it a go. Wow! The level of smoothness is astounding and the water just looks fantastic! Anyways, I was wondering how to activate vsync. I currently use Nvidia Inspector 1/2 Refresh Rate but, it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas? (btw, I have my FPS locked at 30.)

Has anyone tested if SLI benefits dx10 ? Thanks!

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"!!! I flew out of and landed at my new LAX and found a lot of new items that the default one never had!!! 1. all new vehicles traveling around the airport. 2. new taxie lights and runway markings & lights 3. hangers that you can park in just like Orbx 4. palm trees around the airport 5. bridges to pass over with roads underneath the bridges 6. jetways with business names on them 7. new buildings that really look super 8. frame rate went from 29.9 to 11 to 27 up and down around the airport but this can be fixed. …

Happy Halloween everybody. Sorry I have not been as active here in the forum. Just supper busy with life, work, kids and soccer which is in full swing. I have no good news for DX10 night lighting issue. I did hear from FlyTampa and it was not good at all. Have not heard back from Flightbeam nor do I expect to hear from Mir with the announcement of KIAD in the early stages of development. The only good news I have is old regarding KSANX by Devinci. I will email him to see if he had released the DX10 compatiable version. Have not looked myself. Just wanted to drop in and say hello and I have not for got about the "cream of the crop simmers" (DX10 simmers) …

I've seen it mentioned in other threads but thought I might make a dedicated thread on the subject. It worst appears for me if I'm in some 3rd person view for many seconds then switch back to VC. The odd blue square appears in the terrain and on roof tops once and a while too. Is there a tweak to reduce or rid of this blue beast?

Well, I must say, there are nice improvements with the resurrection of FSX in DX10 preview mode but still some work to do. First of all I want to thank the guys who put a lot of effort in it and the results are awesome and maybe become better in the near future BUT as long you fly in the conventional 2D modus and can live with a bit reducing of the sharpness and not 100% perfect AA it's a quantum leap forward. Flying in 3d Stereo (Nvidia 3d Vision) however is still pain in the head. On my normal dedicated FSX (Sandybridge O.C. to 4.8 and 580GTX) PC with all the bells & whizzles like UTX GEX and especially REX, DX9 mode is functional very well but...testing D…

Ok, When I use the pc-12 with dx10 something strange happens. a) The beacon is visible only if you look at the plane from the side. If you switch views and you look at it from the back (tail) the beacon disappears. b: If I have the strobes on when in flying and I look down (out the window) the city lights flash like the strobes.If I turn off the strobes the city lights are normal again. is there fix for this ? Thanks Vic

Hello, my name is andrew from Uruguay, I am having some problems with DX10, when flying at night the lights of the taxiway, is ugly, as shown in the attached image - Using the famous fix to solve the problem of DX10 in the runway - wing lights disappear when take off too!!!!! "Use the graphics to the maximum level, and my pc is:" Amd Fx4100 4.0GHz 4G Ram Ati 6750 1G Ram (DX11 and DX10) Windows 7 32bit Is there any fix to fix this problem? PD: Im using REX without rex the problem persists thanks and regards

I know that this has been discussed at length, but in the end it seems to me that Addon ConcerterX is the only solution. In US currency $20 is not much, but in our currency it is pricey. Is there another solution?

So far, I am absolutely LOVING the new DX10 fix - amazing. However in the NGX with current AA (the maximum AA as described in the how-to) the MCP still remains a bit blurry when at .40 or .30 zoom. in DX9 I bumped up AA more in order to sharpen the VC. I have tried in DX10 to no avail.. I've tried raising the #'s in the cfg as follows: MultiSamplesPerPixel=4 (also tried 8 with no luck) // Must have for good AA MultiSampleQuality=16 // Can be 4 for better performance. Is there any way to improve AA? As it is right now it is pretty good though, but not DX9 good.

As the title says, this thing is so FAST and SMOOTH, that I can't believe it's not butter! Being the adventurous type, I just had to give DX10 a shot and boy was I missing out on the fun... I went ahead and deleted my FSX install and got rid of every trace of it, including all addons. I then installed FSX | Acceleration and followed the HOW-TO from this forum on a fresh install and I was blown away. The FLUIDITY is simply amazing, along with better water and overall IQ, when compared to DX9. And I have to keep reminding myself this is only on a stock FSX. So I can't wait to install UTX. Actually, I will install UTX ONLY for the NIGHTLIGHTING. As for the settin…

Hi, Paul and Jim will remember my post about "jaggies". They were, in fact, huge jagged icicle like artifacts, appearing all over my screen in demanding areas like Orbx Melbourne, and especially Seattle. I've been ok for a while, then to my dismay, these artifacts appeared again, after I had done some up to date tweaking. I checked Inspector, and found my GTX 570 was getting up to 81C. I found that an addon USB card was sitting close to the 570, and obviously impeding the airflow from the twin fans, while another fan supposedly cooling the hard disc caddy had failed. I removed the card, replaced the fan, and speeded up the twin fans in the 570 to 90%. I've…

Hi everyone, Im taking the next big step in trying out DX10. I did excatly according to the"How-to do" and i still cant get the textures to look good.My runway,my taxiway seems greenish with flickering here and there.Im using a Sapphire HD7970 with the latest 12.11(beta) drivers.Does anyone out there using ATI cards that is facing the same problem and what did you do to resolve this.Your valauble help n time is very appreicated. Regards

A great thread running in the FSX forum, as some of you have probably read - http://forum.avsim.net/topic/389455-have-any-of-you-tried-this-sweetfx/ With a link to the original post here: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=368880 It does work with DX10, and has a large set of changeable parameters - just like ENB. Just unpack it all into the FSX root, and give it a shot - then post your thoughts back here! Thanks, pj

Hello, forgive me not to crawl throught the 478 posts of the main thread. I have just one question: how is it about addon airports? Especially Aerosoft ones. They got grey in night with DX10. Is this the case also with this new DX10 fix?

Hi, I still have problems to get the sim running in windowed mode in 3D Vision. Running 3D Vision in fullscreen is no problem but I need the windowed mode when flying online over vatsim to have the FSInn/FSCopilot window open which is disabling the 3D screen Is there any Nvidia 3D Vision user who have find the solution to it? In DX9 it's all functioning well Happy landings.

Hello, An observation, and please correct me when I'm wrong: I'm following the recent development in the field of DX10 with interest and also admiration for the enthousiasm and efforts of people like Steve and Paul. Haven't jumped in yet myself, since being a 'tube jockey', my impression is that the benefits of DX10 (after all the labour involved) are primarily enjoyed by those who prefer GA aircraft and VFR flying. After switching from FS9 to FSX last spring and tweaking the system to a point where I now can fly the NGX 737 in a very satisfactory way, I'm having doubts as to the added value of DX10 (and another tweaking period). By the way, I read somewhere that AES …

Apologies if it's already been brought up elsewhere....but is anyone experiencing issues with OPUS weather and DX10? Although I've only been using it a short time, clouds are popping in and out (like default fsx weather) instead of getting horizon to horizon weather like when I was using it in DX9. It's also creating abnormally straight, horizontal 'shelves' of pale blue/white/grey cloud... I haven't changed any OPUS settings and have followed the dx10 how-to setup to the letter, so I'm not sure if OPUS just doesn't play nice/wasn't designed with DX10 in mind or what's happening (using Opus v2.24, not a more recent beta ver.). I'd really like to get it working in …

Does anyone else have this issue with multiple shadows inside the cockpit with DX10 (see image)? I installed Paul's DX10 Shader mod with all of the mods completed with the latest updates as I was having issues using the installation features. I also have the recommended FSX.cfg and NI settings. Otherwise everything looks great. The photo is the default 737 but it happens in all aircraft. Thanks to anyone who might have suggestions to fix. Best regards, Jim

Hi, FYI... After loading in Ants Drifter demo and then the full paid version...my FSX setup stopped running in stereo 3D for some unknown reason...I checked with NVidia support but their advise didn't work (new beta driver install, contact the s/w developer for a patch)...so I tried turning off DX10 and FSX started running again in stereo 3D!!!...I am so pleased its doing so again...its the only way I like flying in FSX now...!!! Rgds Laurie WIN7 64bit, NVidia 3D glasses etc and ASUS 3D VG236 LCD monitor..., FSX Gold Edition from memory...

Need some help from the experts in advising on this tweak process with the Alpha Channel on textures. Has anyone using DX-10 tried this? http://forum.avsim.net/topic/382519-a-huge-fps-increase/

Haven't been following the DX-10 progress, but seems to be some major activity going on. Has there been some groundbreaking advantage that's been discovered? I've played with DX10 in the past, but always shifted back to DX9 due to glitches, better performance.

I going to ask this in this section as I only use dx10 now (thanks again Paul) I have the latest rain mod added to my settings which gives me the Supposedly better rain, however under certain conditions lately it seems to me that it has gone the opposite way as when flying at night the rain looks and feels a bit like I've engaged the light speed drive from the star wars movies! ie the lines seem to follow a circular motion as if I'm going down a tunnel . Also I can't remember now but did you not also get the rain bouncing off the windscreen in what looked like drops. I don't get this now either my screen remains totally clear even in the heaviest rain . Is there someth…

Hi All, I don't know if I've any right to post this here, but this forum is a group of very knowledgeable people. I've got my system running pretty well now, with DX10, and decided to evaluate my various aircraft (I didn't realise my hangar was quite so big!!) I installed an old favourite, the Carenado Mooney, and to my surprise its cockpit windows were tinted a light green. I converted its .bmp files to .dds, still tinted. I restarted the computer, started FSX in DX9 mode. Still tinted. Outside views were perfectly normal. I had preordered the Just Flight X800, and found its windows tinted as for the Mooney, and in the same circumstances. All my o…
