DX-10 Discussions, Hints and Help

When taxiing in the Aerosoft Airbus Extended, I get strange bursts of acceleration during taxi when I'm using the DX10 fixer. I will be taxing at around 15kts and then all of a sudden it will accelerate to about 30 knots until I hit the brakes. This doesn't happen in any of my other aircraft such as the PMDG models. This only happens during taxi, I haven't noticed this in flight. The reason I bring this up in the DX10 forum is, that if I switch back to DX9, I don't have this issue. So, I don't know if this is some sort of issue with the Airbus and DX10 or not. I've tried calibrating my Saitek throttles through FSUIPC and through regular FSX. So, I'm a bit baffled. …

Just a heads up. SP1D now makes it possible to have cockpit shadows, and without using the DX10 fixer toolbox. Just install the new SP and enjoy.

In mountainous area i have shimmering clouds, so whole area is shimmering giving strange effect. How to avoid clouds shimmering in the mountains ?

For those not wanting to read 500+ posts, or for those of us who are sometimes confused, and for those who just want a faster way to get to DX10 - here is a precis of setting up your FSX DX10, allowing a return to DX9 if you wish. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/52676345/DX10_Fix/Notes/DX10%20Notes.doc Cheers! :smile:

Hello Everybody ....I have a problem ad i cant figure out whats wrong. Please consider reading the whole post before giving the usual "hotfixes". So , it all started when i bought the lenovo z50 (version with i7 , geforce 840M (4gb) and 8 gb of RAM.). I bought FSX-SE throug steam and i installed it with no problems. So i said "ok we are ready to go" i so i double clicked the shortcut of the game in the desktop...And the nightmare begins: It is giving me an error saying:" Flightsimulator cannot run because the version of Microsoft DirectX® installed on your computer is incompatible. please reinstall Directx 9.0 by running Flight Simulator Setup or download the…

Hello, I go in and out of having time for FSX so pardon my ignorance. I have a smooth system so I know I shouldn't mess with it but curios about Directx 10 and WinXP. My Direct 10 preview button has been missing for some time and I never really cared but after watching You Tube videos am envious of the VC shadows. I have an GEforce GTX 550 TI card with the 344.75 drivers. The FSX is SP2 and again, I did have the button years ago. When I ran 'dxdiag' it comes up with Direct 9.0c. What am I missing?? Do I need to upgrade to Win 7 or 8? Thanks.

Hello anyone else having issues with Driver Version 347.09 on my EVGA 980 i'm getting screen blackouts can anyone else confirm if these drivers are causing issues i've narrowed it down to these drivers, they stop responding i'm gonna try an older version Let me know Thanks JHo

Hello, Would someone please advise me. I have FSX on Win 7, high end i7 PC with GeForce GTX 680 running 3 * 60Hz screens in 5760 * 1080 I have just moved to DX10 and have purchased, downloaded and installed Steve's Fix V2.7 Reading a review in Mutleys Hangar it says: "Incidentally, one example of a change that may come as a surprise to you is that in DX10 mode FSX uses a different DISPLAY.Device entry to DX9. " .......and goes on to show: // // Note that the next line ends with .0 - so it's the DX9 version [DISPLAY.Device.NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670.0] Mode=5760x1200x32 Anisotropic=1 // // Note that this Display Device line ends with .0.0 - so it's the D…

Now Fixed

Hi, Is there any relation between DX10 Fixer and the NVidia Inspector framerate limiter? I'm using DX10 for more than 4 months successfully. I remember sometime ago I applied Paul J's simple NI settings (Post #106) to solve an AA issue, which was brilliantly fixed. I remember the framerates correctly limited in 30 by NI (ticked at unlimited inside FSX). But, after 2 NVidia drive updates, the framerates now go high above 30 in the FSX screen, not obeying the NI Limiter at 30. I did save Paul J's settings in a file and I always restore it after NVidia driver upgrade, APPLYING the changes in NI. This is in anyway messing with my FSX and I am really still in honey…

My setup: 3d Vision 2 triple monitor surround setup with a gtx780 My FSX looks stunning in the day. Except for the papi lights which don't seem to be in 3D, so they get duplicated on both eyes, hence lights come on both sides of runway looking out of place and completely messed up. At night its unplayable. Runway lights duplicated on both eyes, so cannot even center on the runway. Using Steve's fixer, so wondering if Steve has ideas under his sleeve to fix the lights on DX10 for 3d. If we had this fix, it would be virtual pilot nirvana! :-)

Hi I would be very grateful for some experienced user comment please..... I have FSX Acc on i7 PC with NVIDIA GTX680 card and 3 monitors, currently running well in DX9 I am experimenting with migrating to DX10 from DX9 with a view to better graphics and lower VAS usage.. I have installed Steves Fixes and read and implemented Paul J's excellent 'How To' guide, plus numerous Forum posts on the subject , I think I have my FSX cfg set up properly for DX10 and likewise NVidia Inspector, though every example I have seen of that, is depicting NVInspector version 1.9.7.2 and mine is the later .3 version, which has numerous differences, so copying exact like for like …

Hey y'all I changed to DX-10 recently and there's a couple texture questions I have... First is the sky color at the sunset which seems too cartoonish in my system... What can I do to get it better? When I was with DX9, I had the FXAA changing the color tone and never saw this ugly sky! Secondly, I can I do to so this terrain image is not so blurry? System: i5 3570K @ 4.4GHz 8GB RAM ASUS GTX960 Strix I have REX, FTX Global, Vector and Landclass EU for textures. fsx.cfg [FACILITIES] COUNTRY=Denmark STATE= CITY=Copenhagen GTL_BUTTON=1232 [BufferPools] UsePools=0 [JOBSCHEDULER] AffinityMask=14 [USERINTERFACE] DisplayFuelAsWeight=…

Hello! Clould someone help me to solve blurry terrain problem ? I'm using Orbx Global. CPU: i7 4770k 4.5ghz GPU: GTX760 2GB RAM: 8GB Mother board: Gigabyte Sniper M5 2x 500gb HDD Blurry textures photo: http://s13.postimg.org/5594s235j/Untitled.png FSX scenery settings: http://s12.postimg.org/xrx2fhcul/Untitled1.png fsx.cfg file: http://txs.io/N8yb And yes I'm using DX10 Thanks for your help !

Migrating into FSX:SE has become a nightmare for me. It started with ORBX and its FTX central adding all the previously installed addons to FSX:SE which somehow caused terrain issues, as an example I had trees on the ocean just outside HKG airport and a crash upon exiting when at that airport. I fixed all that or so I thought, because now that the ocean is free of trees, I now cannot start FSX:SE when ever DX10 is activated in the CFG. I can if I turn it off, but I want to be able to fly in DX10 mode! What's going on you think?

After flying with DX10 and then exiting to FSX Menu Screen - I find the screen has been corrupted ie the top left corner has an overlay in the top left corner and most of the bottom third of the menu screen is missing (except the fly now button). If I click on any of the buttons there is no response. If I try to exit via the red cross in the top right, there is no response. I have to go to Task Manager to exit FSX. This problem only occurs when using DX10. I've got an AMD Graphics card - Radeon 9 series 280x, 3gb. Has anyone got any idea how to solve this problem?

I have not used DX10 mode, I know of the DX10 fixer but I am just wondering if DX10 adds FPS or does it just make the visuals better but no performance gain? Is there any performance loss using DX10 mode?

I just switched to DX10, followed all of the instructions, got the fixer and so on. The VAS in the NGX at the default KLGA is at 3.4 starting and it eventually reaches 3.9 15 minutes of being on the ground. That's surely not what I was expecting. Do guys have any ideas what is going on here? i7 920 Bloomfield GTX760 344.75 8Gb RAM ORBX Global + Vector+REXTD+ASN I am super disappointed with the results. :/

Hey all, I have FSDT's KLAX, which (based on my understanding) should run perfectly fine with DX10. I am using Steve's fixer as well. As recently as 1-2 weeks ago I was having zero issues, however I noticed tonight that I had unsightly blue textures on my runways (not the case with taxiways) and the issue only presented itself at night. Here are photos of the issue: Any ideas? I tried reinstalling KLAX, tried removing the effects library from the DX10 fixer and re-implementing them. Not sure what else to try at this point. Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

Been running DX9 for years - decided to try 10. With just D3D10=1 in fsx.cfg, everything looks really nice except at big airports (KSEA, etc.) where there are black triangles standing up all around. I have no other DX10 fix (files, programs, add-ons etc.) installed. Do I need anything else to solve this problem ? I have browsed this and other forums about Steve's DX10 FIxer, etc. I can acquire this if if will rid me of these black triangles (and other stuff that might pop up). Basically, my question is "What do I need to make DX10 work properly ?" Thanks

With all the stir with DX10 lately, I decided to try it again and these are my new findings: I discovered today, regardless of Steve's fix, that SFX only DEGRADES your AA and doesn't cope well with DX10. When setting up 4X MSAA in FSX (or through the fixer) + 4X SGSS through NI you will get the smoothest, and most perfect jaggies-less picture! If you add SFX on top, it will override those AA modes and will cause you jaggies and the picture will slow a tiny bit (taking back from DX10's advantage IMO). Now, you think sure it's probably fixable by turning Off SFX's SMAA, but it's not. If you turn off SMAA, the scene will become dark and not usable (a bug in SFX dx1…

I feel I have a very good computer system running FSX right now, I74790K, 8GB Ram, GTX970. I am not sure I want to switch to P3D yet due to the amount of add ons I have installed with FSX, especially with PMDG and that switching to P3D requires all new full purchases. Is the DX-10 to help slower performance computers or is it made to enhance visual effect features in FSX. Sorry if this is a basic questions, not to computer savvy.

Hi all, I updated to V2.7 the other day, I don't have steam yet. I now have strange black lines coming from Anglesey bridge that extend out a fair way from the bridge with Horizon gen x scenery that I didn't have before Any clues anyone please.

hey guys started getting the black screens randomly in FSX im running a GTX 980 with latest drivers using the following addons ASN EFB PRO ATC X UTX FTX GLOBAL i did some searching on here, and seen results for many different possible causes however i do think the EFB may be causing it i ran some flights without it and the screen didnt go black anyone have any insight into what may be causing this Thanks JHo

Hello Avsim! I have spent the last....oh idk 234 straight hours of my life trying to resolve my tearing and spike issue with FSX (DX10). First off...Clearly one can tell that Steves DX10 fix is a really good fix and I would recommend it to anyone because I'm sure this isn't happening to all of you happy users. Lets begin.... One day I started to get tears and spikes while in DX10.....After a un believable amount of troubleshooting and testing I decided the only way to stop my tearing and spike issue in FSX was reinstalling it all over again (yes, with all my addons and hardware button mapping, FSUIPC, cam settings, weather settings etc...). My thought was to i…
