DX-10 Discussions, Hints and Help

Has anyone seen this before? Regards Dave.

Hi to all, I need an external frame rate limiter for FSX running in WINDOWED Dx10 mode with RESHADE/SWEETFX overlay: So far, I have tried the following: 1. Nvidia Inspector built-in frame rate limiter 2. MSI Afterburner/EVGA Precision (Riva Statistics Server) 3. Tommti SSAA-Tool 4. DXTory None of them work for my setting. Does anybody use one of the above successfully with the same setup? Does anybody know of an external limiter that works in my setting? Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Best regards draci

I started a conversation on the MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum entitled "NewComputer +FSX-SE + Windows10 + stutters." To make a long story short, I have been plagued by stutters on a new computer running FSX-SE and after running all the suggested tweaks, etc., nothing has really solved it. I was wondering if Steve's Fixer could help with stutters? I'm not looking for guarantees, just others who have installed Fixer and seen improvements with stutters. Anyone?

Hi Steve, I tried searching for your product but it does not appear to be available. Any ideas where I might purchase 2.11 from (I believe that's your latest version)? Thanks.

So curious, what are the advantages of using DX10 vs using DX9 and ENB/SweetFX and Reshade? I've been using DX10 but I find that the graphics just aren't good enough.

Not sure if this has been addressed or not, I haven't seen any topics about it but I was wondering if DX10 is the cause of my missing airport beacons and ILS approach strobes at all airports now. I'm using the most recent version of Steves DX10 fixer so if there is something I'm missing please feel free to let me know. I'm going to go back to DX9 tomorrow and see if that works but in the meantime I'd love to hear if anyone else has had this problem and if so is there a fix for it.

Hey guys, I am not sure if this is a DirectX issue or not. For some reason, at night the ground textures over the standard fsx terrain appear distorted. Check the attached picture. What could be happening? Is it DirectX 10 related? Thanks much in advance. Teo

Hello everyone I know, this problem was already posted,but I could not find it anymore. I noticed, that the landing-lights of AI-aircraft were not visible anymore in DX10 mode. Somewhere, I red that Steve has developed a fix for this. I can't find this fix. I've a NVidia 570 GPU, and MyTraffic installed on my rig. Has anyone of you the patience, to help me out with this? Thanks in advance. Henk

Hey guys! I am loving using DirectX 10 preview with the Fixer. Everything runs smooth, even with shadows, etc. I have one particular issue with every scenery from Imaginesim. For some reason the airport lights flicker all the time and at some point they all get turned off. So there is no illumination on final approach for runway lights, taxiways, nothing. Do any of you have this same issue with Imaginesim sceneries? I get some flickering sometimes but sometimes the lights are just off and at night its crazy to land at those airports. Any way to fix it? Regards, Teo

Latest Concorde version 1.3 for FSX SP2 - cockpit shadows are moving with camera movement, is it Fixer issue, or problem belongs to FSL ?

Hi I have setup dx10 and nvidia inspector, I am running triplehead2go which stretches one display across three monitors but don't know if the multi display/ mixed gpu acceleration in nvidia inspector should be set to multi or single performance mode Thank you,Jim

I'm not sure if anyone has experienced this before, but while using SweetFX under DX10 mode, I'm getting this flicker- or screen flash to white- anytime I get an on-screen dialogue. It also happens when I open a 2D panel, or bring FSX out of focus to go into another application. In fact, if I were to hold a window and drag it while FSX is running, it appears that the gamma control goes haywire- and freezes the FSX screen. I'm on NVIDIA 344.65 driver, thinking if I rolled back the problem would go away, but it's persistent. I also tried several different SweetFX profiles (SweetFX 1.5). It doesn't affect performance, or playability- but its a bit startling. It's …

I recently switched from W7 to W10 and noticed several windows grayed out in The Fixer. btw, I apologize of this is an incorrect way to link images to a post. Sherm http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/image/U1v

Hey guys, Unfortunately fried my FSX driv a couple of days ago. Finally faced up to the big uninstall and reinstall today. I was positive I had registration details of every 3rd party software I bought, and it seems I did. Stupidly before checking I uninstalled Steve's Fixer from my other SSD. Contacted FastSpring etc, can't get a response. Then about ten minutes ago I found a external back up of my FSX drive I thought I had lost. It has a folder called Backup which was created when I installed Steve's software. Anyone know how to get a hold of Steve? I have logged in and posted on his wordpress blog but nothing seems to be showing up. Anyway help would be muc…

I have Steve's modified shader files installed (the files he released freely before releasing the payed fixer), and I get black squares instead of buttons in Aerosoft's a320 v.1.31 (see attachment). What is strange is that the a318, a319, and a321 work perfectly fine, and I've seen others on Youtube flying the a320 in DX 10 without problems. I have already asked on Aerosoft's forum, and have not gotten a response so I am asking the wider audience of avsim for help. I have tried reinstalling, cleaning registry and every folder/file I could find with Aerosoft in the name, rebuilding shader cache, downgrading to an old Nvidia driver, and nothing helps. Just before I purchase…

I have a small issue with the amazing Milviz B55 in DX10: Steve, is there a setting in the config that can fix the nav and 3 landing lights on the vc? Thanks.

Switched to DX10 with Fixer recently, however mainly with the IFLY 747 V2 (but does occur occasionally with other aircraft as PMDG 777) getting black contrails and vapor trails to appear before becoming white, One other minor issue is there no logo light shining on tail with the PMDG 747. Any suggestions would be appreciated....Overall results with DX10 has been outstanding...

Good evening people, I am trying to find the best Bufferpools and RT settings for my setup, i am using FSX in DX10 mode, using the freeware shaders, and not yet Steve`s DX10 fixer, which i am going to buy soon... I have everything set up according to the DX10 guide, i know i won`t get very high FPS with this system, but i very much would like this to be as stutter free as possible...I have most sliders at medium and locked the FPS at 31... My system: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Intel Core i5 3,4 ghz 8192RAM Memory Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 2GB I have added these tweaks to the fsx config: Graphics: Highmemfix=1 MultiSamplesPerPixel=2 MultiSam…

Now that I have my i7-6700K/GTX 980 system up and running, and FSX-SE tuned well in DX9, I thought I'd try DX10 preview mode and check the results. For my text, I went with a simple scenario of the default C172 at Page Municipal in Arizona. FTX Global and Vector were installed, along with FSGenesis mesh, but no other add-on scenery. Using the most recent nVidia drivers, and DX10 was set up with Steve's DX10 Fixer and the defaults (FSX.cfg and Inspector) recommended in the Mutley's Hanger review of that product. Obviously, framerate was set to unlimited. Using DX9, the framerate was 59-60, with occasional spikes to 119. Using DX10 preview mode, the framerate droppe…

Hi I am using FSX SP2 with DX10 preview and the fixer enabled. For one of my addon aircraft (aerosoft Robin DR-400x), I have no landing lights. They are present in DX9. Do you have an idea of what could be causing this? Is there an option in the fixer to try for me to get rid of this problem? any help would be greatly appreciated. Yves Lefevre PS: Thanks Steve for the outstanding work in your DX10 fixer tool. :smile:

I am in DX10 mode using Steve's Fixer and as he noted the Tool Tips is non functional so I downloaded the small program he said that fixes it but it doesn't say what to actually do with it other than you also have to download a Hot Key program as well. What exactly do you do with these 2 programs? Thanks.

Hi guys, I have a problem with DX10. I am using Steve's DX10 fixer. The textures remain black for a period of 3-5 seconds. I tried many things to load it faster. Swap-Wait-Out. Fiber-Time-Fraction. Reduced lod to 4.000000 autogen at 4 instead of 5. AA set to 2X instead of 4X or more. Nothing seems to reduce the problem really.. The second thing I encountered is the black "tile" texture flashing by the high altitude cirrus clouds. I am using Active Sky Next. Perhaps someone of you know how to reduce the long texture loading. The problem seems to persist with demanding aircraft like the PMDG 777 or 737 when switching between VC and Outside Vie…

I have just updated (clean install) to Window 10, downloading FSX SE as I type. My question is this: Should I completely setup FSX, install scenery and aircraft etc, then apply Steve's DX10 fix. Or should I apply the fix on completing the download of fsx and then install the scenery etc. Thanks for any advice. Martin

HELLO GUYS, I AM USING FSX, AND I HAVE TRIED TO MAKE SOME SHADOWS IN THE COCKPIT. SO I HAVE TURNED ON THE DX10 IN THE SIM.(THAS WHAT I HAVE HEARD THAT I SHOULD DO), AND I HAVE WRITTEN THIS: ForceVCShadowMap=1 UNDER [Display] IN THE FSX.CFG. SO NOW, THE SHADOWS IN THE COCKPIT ARE WORKING, BUT: 1. WHEN I AM CHOOSING AN AIRCRAFT IN THE SIM, THE AA LOOKS VERY LOW. PIC- http://prntscr.com/6tbxta 2. IN THE FLIGHT ITSELF, THE AIRCRAFT AA IS OK. BUT THE SHADOWS IN THE COCKPIT LOOKS BAD. PIC - http://prntscr.com/6tbxao MY FSX SETT- http://prntscr.com/6tby85 I WOULD LIKE TO SOLVE THOSE PROBLEMS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! ((SORRY FOR THE POOR ENGLISH)). TH…

Hey guys, I am using Steve's DX 10 fixer and everything works great exept 2 issues: 1. Some clouds appear as squares (stratus). Check attached pictures. How can I fix it? 2. Airports at some airports flicker or sometimes they don't appear. For example KATL from Imaginesim. Most of the airport work just fine. I have FSX with REX Overdrive for textures only. I also own Active Sky next, PMDG 737NGX, etc. How can I fix these issues? Teo
