DX-10 Discussions, Hints and Help

Interested in getting DX10 Technology working properly in FSX | FSX-SE?  This forum is for general discussion of how to get DX10 working properly and settings.

  1. Started by Beardyman,

    As stated in topic title, problem is with "moving shadows" when using MD11. Is it possible to remove this unwanted effect ?

  2. Because I just enabled DX10 mode and AA in the Graphics settings, restarted FSX:SE, and using Steve's suggestions, where he limits the FPX in the Nvidia Control panel instead of in FSX, but mostly set's everything as App controlled, I am getting excellent results with my whole A2A fleet, and so far no glitches or artifacts ? Also using ASN and Rex Soft Couds, as well as my only add-on scenery ever for FSX or any other sim - AEROSOFT Madeira Airport. I wonder if FSX:SE has somehow massaged the shaders ?

    Hello I recently upgraded the CPU and my graphics card in my non flight rig (I5 4460 3.2ghz and GTx750ti 2GB) and I bought FSX SE when it was on sale for £5, Am really happy with the performance using the fixer and have not added any tweaks to the CFG file at all, Reading through the set up guide it mentions setting bufferpools/ Usepools, Would this help with my set up? as not really sure what setting i should use or should i just leave well alone? kind regards Darran

    I am doing a new install of FSX:SE on a new Windows 10 computer (latest versions of everything). I have so far just installed FSX:XE, Steve's DX-10 fixer and REX 4 Texture Direct. I am running it in DX-10 mode and I currently have left all the settings in Steve's DX-10 configuration tool at the defaults. Everything in the sim looks great so far except for one item. When sitting in the virtual cockpit from a default FSX single prop plane - the propeller texture is flashing and flickering quite a bit (very distracting). On my last computer with FSX on Windows 7 and Steve's fixer I did not experience this. Does anyone have any input as to what I can try either in Steve's fix…

    I did a fresh install of FSX on Windows 10. I installed SP1 and SP2. I am using a AMD Radion HD 8610G Graphics card. I have to enable DX 10 Preview in the FSX settings otherwise I just get black screens when I try to modify the display as well as other settings. The DX 10 Preview will display the display settings dialogs correctly, but it is causing some flutters and strange flashes of colored triangles. Is there any alternative such as installing DX 9.0c? Anybody else have issues with AMD graphics cards and the black screens as I don't think enabling DX 10 Preview is stable? Thanks!

    Hello dear community, I have issues using FSX in DX10 mode together with REX4 textures and Active Sky Next (newest version). Sometimes if I pan around in the cockpit or outside of the aircraft, there are some black flashes instead of a cloud especially in high altitudes. I tried to make a video with my iPad, but I don´t know if the problem is noticable in the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBDcNC4mBrA Also here are two screenshots where the problem occurs: Here is the software that I use, my config and my system specs: DX10SF (newest version) REX4 textures (DXT5 1024) ActiveSky Next (newest hotfix) sweetFX 1.5.1 FSX.cfg: https://db.…

    Hello, So I recently looked into using DXT10 with FSX, and everything looks normal and dandy, until I turn on the default cars road traffic. When I do, the textures of the cars start to stretch and flash all over the screen. The sky turns black, and the clouds blue, it's a complete mess. But when I turn off the road traffic, all is fine. * this only happens in windowed-full screen* In full screen, it's fine, and in windows not full it's fine as well. I tried messing with the resolutions in the FSX display tab and that only changes the full screen resolution. I fly in windowed full screen. I have DXT10 fixer and I have ran it many time and played with the settin…

    Hi. Can anyone help me here? For some reason I've lost the VC Shadows in my PMDG 737-600 and -700. But for some strange reason they are still present on the -800 and -900. ForceVCShadowMap is 1 in the FSX.CFG file and HD Shadows is ticked and set for all aircraft in the Fixer. I read somewhere that I need to go into the DX10 Toolbox and set them there but i'm unsure how to do this. Steve's DX10 SceneryFixer V2.9. Thanks' Martin Stacey.

    Hi guy's, simple question, do vc shadows work in the pmdg 777sp1c?, I've read all the post's I can find on this with some people with them some people without them, I've done all the changes described in the fixer and followed other peoples hints from posts I've read, I do have good vc shadows in the NGX but not the 777. Cheers Rod.

    I upgraded from Gigabyte GTX 560 to ASUS Strix GTX 960, and I saw unexpected results in DX10 with the fixer. Default situation, without AI traffic to avoid variation of AI and fps. Trike on runway 34 on LSZH, unlimited frames just for test, then load the NGX. GTX 560 / GTX 960 Trike 86 / 170! (wow) NGX 43 / 43 I really ca't see any kind of logic here. There should be change in fps with the NGX too, since with the Trike improvement in performance is amazing. Now when my GPU have 2gb or RAM I will try to disable bufferpools and see is there any difference, bu I'm still completely confused by the test. Any idea…

  17. Hi, I am having very strange problem. See screenshot attached . My SCS Tu134's VC (this is FSX portover version) turns into this graphical mess regularly. It happens only in Full View. The only way to get rid of that is to move mouse coursor onto the Menu Bar on the top of the screen. Yes, strange. The PrintScreening does not capture it. It captures regular, proper VC view. I have FSX Acceleration, DX10 with Steve's Fixer and SweetFX. Disabling SweetFX doesnt help. Fixer is 8x CSAA. Nvidia Inspector is 4x SGSS. All as per guides. PCs specs: i7 4770k, GeForce 970 Strix, Win 7 x64. Help will be very appreciated. Regards, Kris The screenshot: …

I am looking for AI Models for FSINN that are compatible with DX10 (preferably freeware), I know that WOAI isn't compatible but is IVAO Compatiable?

    I remember reading somewhere that a nVidia Inspector setting would apply anti aliasing to the aircraft in the preview window (DX10) with Steve's DX10 Fixer. This is certainly not a big issue for me but I would like to fix it if possible. Am I right - is there such a setting that can address this?

    In the CTD guide, it is mentioned that one possible solution to FSX abnormality and crashes is deleting the shader folders and shader cache. It even recommends that this be done from time to time regardless. Does this procedure affect the DX10 Fixer at all. I understand that the DX10 fixer also makes use of shader files?

  24. I am getting back into AI traffic finally, but going to a big airport that has addon scenery my fps drop to 10. (VHHH,RJAA,KLAX,etc) I am staying out of big hubs and flying island hopping. fdst PHNL using lots of AI traffic I see 15-20 fps and that is acceptable, but any bigger airport that has more flights is unflyable. I use fsx:acceleration and dx9 but am thinking about moving to dx10. I do not get OOM in the PMDG NGX but do if I fly in the 777, this is before I added AI traffic. so I am thinking of moving to DX10 and using the Fixer program I have read it helps in some OOM situations. But if I only fly the NGX and have no OOM problems, can I see more stable an…

    Hello, Just got Steve's DX10 fixer installed looks great. Now on to the AA. I can't for the life of me get RadeonPro's OSD to display which makes me thing RadeonPro isn't doing anything in my FSX. I can't find a tutorial on setting up and launching FSX with RadeonPro anywhere. I've read all the suggested documentation but none of them show how to run FSX once you have all the settings in place.
