The Official DX10 Scenery Fixer Support Forum

Hi all. I've recently made the switch to FSX-SE exclusively but i'm having problems enabling VC shadows. I've added the line 'ForceVCShadows=1' to the .cfg file, and 'Aircraft casts shadows on itself' is selected in the sim. No shadows. As soon as I try enabling any shadow options in the fixer, EZDOK crashes on startup. I've a hunch it maybe something to do with NVInspector settings which are unchanged from when I was running FSX Boxed. Any help much appreciated, Martin.

Not sure how to proceed,,tried to install the fixer but lisence failed. Tried to email Steve with the email addy in my reciept but that address failed..

I have a dual FSX/FSX-SE installation in Win7. When I start the Scenery Fixer with a desktop shortcut it is in FSX mode. If I then uninstall the libraries and switch to FSX-SE at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX the libraries are automatically installed, and I exit the Scenery Fixer. However, if I then immediately restart the Scenery fixer it is back in FSX mode with a warning the libraries are uninstalled. I would have expected it to still be in FSX-SE mode. Is this behavior normal? After switching to the FSX-SE mode and exiting the Fixer as described above, it is really still in the FSX-SE mode I need if using FSX-SE? Thx, Al

The VC shadows move when i move my eyepoint even when parked...for some reason this happens in all AC except the Aerosoft DH6...with this one AC the shadows are locked when I look around and only move when the AC moves...which is how it should be...any ideas?

I run 3D Surround in DX10 preview and it is stunning. Perfect to practice my sight pictures for landing (I'm a 17 hour student pilot). I want to buy Steve's DX10 Fixer, but I saw on the site that it is not compatible with multiple GPU systems. To run in Surround, I have two 980 GTX's.... but not sure if this disqualifies me from running the Fixer. Thoughts?

this thread explains the issue...please let me know if you cant get it http://www.simforums.com/forums/topic55928_post351716.html#351716

Hi Steve, I have an FsX native Grumman Duck where the canopy glass is invisible when I load it now. I have some screenshots I took in 2013, when I was using Dx10 with your fixer and the canopy glass is visible. I've reinstalled the aircraft but still no glass. Is there a setting that might have disabled the glass? I believe that the shiny glass (as it is in my 2013 screenshot) is in the model as I can find no texture relating to glass. Regards, Roger.

Hi Steve, What is the latest official version of DX10 Fixer? The latest version I've found online reference to is version 2.9. Can you confirm this? I think my HW will be OK : I7 930, OC 4.0 ghz NVidia GTX 960 SC RAM 12 gb Software : Win 7-64 FSX Accel I just finished testing FSX, for the first time set to DX10 Preview. It worked pretty good aside from occasional white flashing artifacts. I tested around Seattle first with a (default) Cessna, and then with PMDG T7. Didn't notice any difference in the visuals. Frame rates dropped from 30fps (with Cessna) to ~20fps (with T7). As a side note, I also get (less occasional) white flashing artifacts …

Hi, I have been away from simming for a couple of years, and I am now about to start up again with a new Skylake PC. My last used version of the program was 2.4. I bought it from FSS, that no longer sell the program. So, how do I get the latest version? I know that others may have asked about this before - but what have you done? BR, Anders

Steve, First off your DX10 fixer has revolutionised FSX for me. I use the VRS Superbug as well as other aircraft and therefore like to switch between DX10 and DX9. However switching back to DX9 via the controller leaves me with invisible parts of the aircraft. Is there any way of fixing this? Many thanks Rich

Hi Steve, I wonder if you can help please. I have recently purchased the Aerosoft Frankfurt v2 scenery, everything is great but I don't see the PAPIs at all in the VC at a 12 o clock viewing angle. If I tilt my camera 45 degrees left or right they come into view. They do appear at 12 o clock when I'm close to the runway threshold, probably about 0.5NM away. I've posted in the aerosoft forum and some guy pointed me to the EDDF_lightfield.BGL in the dx10 fixer install folder. After scouring your manual I came across the info on page 63 which says to place the EDDF_lightfield.BGL into the airport scenery folder. I've done this but it hasn't resolved the problem. I…

I've taken over Paul "PJ" Johnson's excellent "How-to" guide for new DX10 Fixer Users. His original document helped me get my system set up correctly. It's a step-by-step guide and (I think) quite comprehensive - no need to look up other sources. Used with Steve's manual, I'd say it's all you need. The REVISED "How-to" Guide (v1.01 01 July 2014) For related DX10 files: DX10 Fixer - all related files All feedback welcome - here or by PM. Adamski.

Flightsim store no longer carries the product... Is it still available and supported? Thanks Tom

I am on dx 10 with the fixer installed. Just noticed on the pmdg 777-300ER aircraft, I can see taxi and landing lights from cockpit and also from spot view etc. Buut when I press F9 and get the forward view, I find the taxi or landing lights do not illuminate the ground. Is this setting on the fixer ?. I asked in the pmdg forum, but the response was to switch to dx9 and check, which I don't want to do straight away before asking here. Thanks

Hello, I would like to ask what should I do in DX10SF after I installed a new aircraft or scenery. Should I uninstall and reinstall librairies? Or should I do an effects conversion? Best regards, Pierre

Hello, New to DX10SF, I took time to read the while manual and feel really impressed with the water colors I can see under the chapter where different sliders settings are shown. It is really the color I am hardly trying to have in my FSX but I always end up with unatural clear blue colors. I wonder if someone could point me out how to have those colors? Is that a texture set or only a matter of settings? I have REX Overdrive et REX4 installed. Thanks for your help, Pierre

Hi guys, Hoping someone can shed some light on this. I know what you're thinking: DX10 anti-aliases all cloud textures, worse performance. Open and shut. But I'm finding terrible cloud performance even with antialiasing disabled (and it's definitely off--it looks awful). I switched to DX10 with the Fixer a little while ago looking for OOM improvement (which I've certainly found), not for visuals or performance. I'd happily take a decrease in performance, in fact, but something seems to be wrong with my setup somehow. I'm seeing incredibly smooth performance, even with PMDG aircraft, in situations with little or no clouds (I use ASN and REX clouds at 1024), even with …

How to enable super resolution "5129x2880x32" in FSX without changing monitor resolution. This is for Nvidia graphic cards with current or somewhat current drivers. 1) Leave your monitor resolution the way you want it. 2) Right click on your screen click on Nvidia Control Panel click on Manage 3D settings, click on Program Setting tab, click on drop box, click on "Microsoft Flight Simulator 10", leave it there click on Global Settings tab (located next to Program Setting tab), "Base profile" is in the box just below under Settings, click on DSR-Factor click on "4.00x (native resolution)" ONLY, make sure of tha…

I have REX Soft Clouds add on. Every time I change a cloud theme and it installs the textures in FSX, do I need to run the fixer ?.

Hi everybody, first of all I have to say, I can't live without Steve's Scenery fixer - one of the best improvements for FSX ever. Thank's again, Steve!!! From the very beginning, I use FSXA with DX10 preview and Steve's Scenery Fixer. I have to say, ALL AI packages I have installed, work fine with shadows and enabled FSX DX10 preview mode. Well, except for one special instance: The NBAI Phantom F-4F package won't appear at the FSX german air base Hopsten correctly! It is strange, because the Phanties work correctly at all other airbases. Here some shots for clarification: Fine with shadows at RAF Coningsby: Fine at RAF Gutersloh: Fine at RAF Wattisham: And here at…

Hi all, I have run into a problem with my IVAO MTL on FSX. I did a complete reinstall of my fsx and did all the relevant .cfg changes via DX10. ( Great product) I sit with a problem that if I log on to IVAO I can only see the aircraft lights but the aircraft itself is invisible. I have read a few forums regarding this but their only fix is to set the aircraft cast shows on ground to off. But I had mine on before and the IVAO MTL worked 100%. The other thing I read was with regards to the Legacy shader settings, I have tried a few even disabling it etc and unfortunately no joy. Is their anything I can try or change without turning the aircraft cast shadows on the …

Hi ... I always fly on vatsim, the other day I almost ran into another aircraft while taxing... Then I realised my AI aircraft don't seem to have lights, only I see the landing lights... never seen navigation lights or taxi lights on other players. Is this a bug ? Can it be fixed ? I am on DX10, and have SteveM's latest fixer. Thanks..

Hello.... I have had the dx10 fixer for some time now. Just realised that I have installed some add on scenery and REX soft clouds since then and if the fixer should be run again to fix anything that would have been installed ? Or is it not required. Example, I bought the cielosim airport enhancer hex and installed it... should I have run the fixer again when I installed it ? My specs etc in my signature.. Many thanks

Will be available over the next few days, Flight Sim Store customers - they have prepared the new wrapper and it should go live soon. FastSpring customers - live now. Note that there wasn't a 2.10 I skipped from 2.9 to 2.11, Why? because it installed as 2.1 which could be confusing. Changes are: ASN High Level Cloud Squares Fix to stop the squares that appear when a high level cloud texture is not available. Improved Effects Change Detection The fixer could detect new effects but not a change to an existing effect. Toolbox Bulk Conversions (User Request) Option when doing 8 bit conversions to process a directory su…

I have been using your wonderful DX10 fixer for more than a month now and I have been extremely happy with the results as well as the ease of use. May I ask a technical question that is not directly related to the product itself, but to the expected results: I have a Nvidia GTX 680 that is performing relatively well with my I7 3770 OC at 4.2. I wondered if I were to upgrade to a Nvidia GTX 970 would the extra power of this card be used at all by DX10 and thus improve my FSX graphic performance or not (I read so many times that FSX performance was essentially relying on the processor and not the graphic card), I only need to have this point clarified and thank you for …
