DX-10 Discussions, Hints and Help

    Hello Guys! I am not yet a user of ##Y AI Traffic software under DX10 Fixer. Also, I want to check if there are not AI aircraft textures issues (Black or white aircraft) if i use DX10 Fixer in FSX. Have you an idea about that? Thanks

    Hi, even though I fullfill all requirements fo use the Dx10 preview mode, the checkbox isn't showing up within FSX. I run FSX SP2, Win7 64 Home and a GTX770 GPU. So this should be fine. Over the time I applied many tweaks of course, so I guess the problem will be somewhere here. I had ENB installed and deinstalled. Then I had FXAA installed- which now also is deinstalled. I still have Bojotes Shader3 Mod installed. I somehow cannot uninstall it, as soon as I do the FSX aircraft preview screen, and on sim start, the whole screen is plain black. Does anyone know which files FSX is looking for in order to present the Dx10 option? A sim reinstall isn't an option…

    I just noticed while sitting on the runway during a downpour that there are no rain or wet effects on it anymore. I am using DX10 with the Fixer and wondered if there was a setting I am missing?

    I'm having a problem with DX10. Around mid-day to mid-afternoon in FSX, I can't see the lower DU, radio or nav displays on the pedestal in the NGX. I tried uploading a screen shot, but it doesn't seem to be working.

I've reinstalled FSX from scratch and gone a bit missed. 1) which are the basic setting in NI? 2) the latest version of fixer? I downloaded now from FSStore, suppose is the last. 3) in FSX: AA on and AF on trilinear? 4) setting FXAA on NI what means, does it improve graphics or performance? 5) do you use bloom? do you find it reduce performance? Many many thanks

    I don't know if this is a DX10 issue or not. I also wish I knew how to upload pictures here as it might explain the problem I'm having. At certain airports when using either photo real scenery or pay-ware airports, the runways seem to be covered in grass. That is they lose all definition and are a mess of concrete and grass or dirt. Two airports in particular where I've noticed this are KEWR using MegaScenery Earth's high res NY scenery or using AS New York Airports/Newark and KIAD using MegaScenery Earth's Baltimore/Washington high res and/or FSDream Team KIAD. Any thoughts. Thanks. Dan Cole

    Just to let everyone know that the PMDG 777 is fully DX10 compatible. In fact, I have never seen lighting (landing lights, beacon, nav lights) working so well in fsx. Maybe it's because of DX10. In any case, the lighting for this aircraft is more than fantastic and proves fsx is only going to get better in the future. Best regards, Jim

    Hi All, Very impressed with the fixer! Love the cockpit shadows, they add so much to the experience! I've found a slight problem I'm having on initial load and when changing settings and reloading the sim. For a good few seconds after the sim loads, everything is 'geometric' for want of a better word - the textures haven't fully loaded and the clouds and sky are flat blue/grey squares and often parts of the ground are missing. It eventually clears and loads normally but it lasts quite a few seconds after loading and when changing any settings whilst on the fly. Is this normal?

    So, after installing Steve's DX10 fixer a few years ago, I was able to get the default water textures and animations back and have been enjoying them ever since. I just recently updated my REX4, however, and, yes, once again, all my themes were deleted. I tried restoring from my backup, but that didn't work. So, my question is about the integration of DX10 and REX4. Particularly, I'm wondering if I can install new REX 4 textures, but leave the wave animations box unchecked and retain my wonderful DX10 wave animations with whitecaps relative to wind speed. Can I use REX4 color textures without affecting the whitecaps animations (I'd actually like somewhat duller an…

  16. I just installed an older airport, RAF Finningley, I think it might be a FS9 retread, in DX10 the hangers are invisible. Switching to DX9 they appear, but taxi lines and runway markings are flickering and shimmering. I'd rather run DX10 if poss. What should I tweak? If I have to run DX9, again, do I need my old fsx.cfg to stop the flickering?? One extreme possibility is to use Instant Scenery to drop in fresh RAF hangers over the top of the invisible ones ... Any help appreciated!!!

  17. I was happy with the previous version, although I knew it could be improved. So, when I saw the latest update come out, I was excited and anticipating better performance and visuals. Not sure why, but I'm having issues after updating to version 2.8. First issue is with my RealAir Duke v2, where my panel stopped working. I've flown it without a problem, just until I decided to update the DX10 fixer. I'm not sure the relation of this cause, but it didn't happen before. Second issue I'm having is texture and shadow flickering. Another issue I wasn't having before updating to version 2.8, and no matter what I try to do, shadows on parked aircrafts and buildings are to…

  19. i currently love using dx9 and I got everything running smoothly. I tired the fixer and dx10 a month ago with shadows, vc shadows, light bloom all on. And the performance wasn't all that great. I had random crashes and the sceney was constantly flashing in and out of black. If I run the fixer with just the standard dx9 settings I am using now with just lens flare on, no shadows, no light bloom will my experience be any better? Thanks

I can not get FSX-SE or P3D to stutter with this tweak. Amazing. But if you experience micro stutters because you have a bad config, it may not work. I just taxied in the PMDG 777 around FSDT KLAX, and took off, and not one micro stutter. GSX use to stutter when pushing back too, but smooth as.

    Hi Folks, Just wanted to know if anyone else suffers more Mouse Lag with DX10 it is not so bad in DX9 but seems to rob more FPS more with 10.. Not sure why and if it is local to me. I know this is a bug in the FSX code and has been fixed in P3D..but as yet not in FSX SE..maybe one day! Any recommendations on how to minimise the impact.. Many Thanks Mark

    I see that shadows are well generated on center console, pilot's seats, side windows area, but dashboard - EFIS/ECAM area is always dark and cannot see shadows moving there. Is there any known problem about shadows in MD11 cockpit, or some different parameter must be set in Steve fixer ?

    Sorry if this has been covered previously. I've been looking for the topic and can't find the unique question I have. I have been converted to DX10, have Steve's Fixer, and have been enjoying the new FSX that I now have. But I just downloaded and installed ORBX FTX Global (nothing else from them) and in reading the docs, it seems to be telling me to set certain things differently from DX10. SO - I'm sure there are a lot of youse guys up here who have much more experience with this, and can give me some advice. I particularly noticed something about the FTX 3D lighting and possible problems with DX10, and I do not want to muck up my DX10 stuff if there are solutions to…
