The Official DX10 Scenery Fixer Support Forum

I've been considering trying out the DX10 fixer, mainly for the cockpit shadows, but a few questions: 1. Currently I fly PMDG, Majestic, A2A, and RealAir. Do cockpit shadows work in all of these? 2. Can I use 32xS AA with DX10 like I can with DX9? 3. Are there still any significant compromises with DX10 even after Steve's hard work and the Fixer tool? Thanks

Hello, All lights working but I can't see the PAPI lights... Tested on Uk2000 v3 & FSDT KLAX v2... Any ideas???

I postef this in the SOH forum - but I should really have only posted here ... In the Lights/Effects conversion section, you get three tick boxes: o Exclude Particle Effects o Exclude ORBX Street Lights o Exclude Shockwave Lights It's a little unclear in the manual as to which settings are actually *desirable*. I have ORBX scenery and also use Shockwave lights. Should I be letting the Fixer convert them or exclude/leave them alone? I don't appear to have any problems (converted or not) but don't see any difference either. Adam.

Maybe this is a question for Steve, but I'm experimenting with dx10 again, and having much better luck after a full FSX reinstall. Everything is great and performance is on par with what I should expect. My only concern is the airplane exterior shadows seem erradic and innacurate. As a trackIR user I find the shadows jump around a lot when panning in spot view. Are there any settings in the fixer to eliminate, or reduce these jerky shadows. It seemed less of an issue in dx9.

I have models released as native FSX models and in fact checking the model file in a hex editor shows that they are native and not port overs but they still cannot show shadows under DX10 but are fine under P3D DX11. For these addons DX toolbox gives the error "Cannot find SMAP Section in Model - Cannot process" What does this mean, and is there anything that can be done to enable shadows in these addons ?

Please would anyone teach me how? Following instruction settled in the manual I remove the actual Rain40.fx and used the original but cant clik the Rain Options anyway. The Water issue is worse because I do not know how to uninstall water shader. The unique action I did was to revert to default the FS WATER CONFIGURATOR that I used before, but without succes also. Now I had purchased a Steve DX Fixer 2.2 is the moment to stop using the other options and run only one application. bets regards luis sanz

What is the recommended answer to this question when you're running ASN?

Is there any way to have VC shadows in the NGX or is that 100% tied to the aircraft model?

Hello Steve - I just when through the process of upgrading the DX10fixer to 2.1. I backed up my previously edited version of dx10.ini in the same directory. When I uninstalled and re installed the fixer, my directory was empty and and I had to re-add all my fx exclusions. (shockwave and smoke stack effects). Even with the exclusions in place in the file, my effects were still updated ( file date changed) when I ran the fixer. I had to replace them with a backup copy. Did I put the entries in properly in the exclude list? Is there a way to maintain the list when upgrading between version? Thank you for such a great product! Daniel Here is what my D…

Hello, Do I need to uninstall my current v1.0 Build15 prior to update to the current version (v2.2 Build45)? If so do I need to disable all the tick boxes and unisntall the libraries in the current DX10 Controller before the update? Thanks, Dirk.

Hi I just bought the dx10 fixer and am unsure what sort of anti aliasing I should use, and what I should then set in nvidia inspector. Any clues would be useful. I have a 780ti graphics card. Thanks in advance Mat

Hi. Bought today but the key does not come. For two hours, the status of - Locked... How long must I wait???

Dear Community! I am having serious microstutter problems with my FSX and the biggest problem is that I can't track the reason down. Why am I writing this here, well here's the story: I am using DX10 Scenery Fixer for quite some time now. No problem so far. A few days ago I tried to "optimize" my fsx.cfg and all I did was cleaning the fsx.cfg of all display entries as I recently installed a new monitor. So far so good. The only other thing I did was switching to 8xCSAA in DX10 Scenery Fixer and to 4x SGSS in Inspector. Ok so this happened: Everything was fine and I did some test flights. Suddenly there were those famous "microstutters", the sim runs fine for a mi…

Hi Steve, I have a small problem. In Bergamo (LIME) is immre a display error. One Piece of the scenery is green. Scenery error LIME Airport (Aerosoft) Thanks Frank from EDDM I have a screen shot but can not put him unfortunately. How can I attach a picture.

Hi everybody I fly FSX with Accel Pack and the usual bunch of add-ons, including Global Ultimate Eur, UTX Eur, Aerosoft VFR Germany West and a number of airports in that wider area. Guess where I live Ever since I installed the DX10 Scenery Fixer (it is v2.0), my MD11 crashes to the desktop a few minutes after take-off after whiting out the screen and displaying an "unrecoverable error" message. Other planes (default or add-on) don't seem to be affected. The problem does not go away when I unselect "DX10 preview". I admit I have experimented only a little and did not try all conveivable combinations of settings, airports and planes. One reason being that I am a …

I currently own i7 2700K OC 4.4GHz with GTX 560Ti 2GB. I have purchased the payware fixer (2.1) and seems to successfully entered the DX10 world. Since I normally fly NGX in and out of add-on airports using ASN weather, my FR drops down to low teens - have yet to find the best setting given my hardware. That said, I am now considering to upgrade my graphics card to something like GTX 680 or 780, having read multiple forums. (I am not a computer guru, simply relying on other people's comments). Here is my question. When replacing my old card for a new one, will I have to reset my Steve's Fixer setting, nVidia Inspector settings and FSX.cfg settings all over …

I think I now have successfully set up my FSX in DX10 thanks to Steve's latest fixer and many set up advices on the web. I have only test flown my NGX in daytime using ASN weather with REX4 texture and all seems to function well. It's time now to tweak various settings to allow me smooth enough performance since I'm experiencing low teens in frame rate as I near my Aerosoft add-on airport to land. To this end, I'm taking it step by step in understanding what to tweak, reading Paul's How-to guide. While I have multiple issues to solve, allow me one question at a time. My understanding from the How-to is that scenery sliders within the FSX will see different…

Hey all, I have purchased Steve's DX10 fixer. A reasonably fresh install of Windows and FSX and running really well under DX9, but all the raving about DX10 means I cannot ignore the call :-) However I am nervous about this.I tried it once before and did not have a good experience - ended up with a disc format (admittedly not entirely as a result of the issues I was having with FSX but it was the cherry on the top for me at the time... So, is there a definitive idiots guide to going DX10? Reading these forums, it seems there are many / known / reported issues and tweaks to address those issues. Can these not be compiled into a single document - or has this b…

Hi All, After new update (2.1 build 43 ) I have a problem. Before update I have never seen something like that. Here is a screenshot about it ,

Firstly, let me say thanks to Steve, this app has truly transformed my sim. I have however one strange issue, but it does not seem to bother me much, but regardless, I thought I would check to see if anybody else had experienced this. At a couple of airports (one freeware, the other a payware UK2000) I have had instances of the airport lighting for the buildings going out. I will do some more flying this week to see if it's related to the time of day (Dawn) but it's been very weird. All of the lighting is showing, but about one minute or so later it goes off. Please note that it does not affect aircraft, taxiway, or runway lighting. Has anybody else seen t…

Hello, first time posting here. I've been enjoying my FSX with addons like PMDG NGX, ASN, Rex4 textures, and many other pay ware airports, FTX Europe, etc. Although I had no big problems in DX9, I begun to have OOM in addon heavy airports at night. To make the long story short, I'm considering to try DX10 having read many benefits on many websites and YouTube. I've tried DX10 preview by checking its box in FSX setting menu but FR was clearly lower than when I was in DX9. Of course I have not purchased the infamous Fixer nor made any adjustments via nVidia Inspector. In general, can I expect a different degree of performance improvement if/when I use the fixer…

Hi Everyone, I'm considering buying this software, but... I'm currently using DX9, with 4 monitors. Three for the virtual cockpit view (with a TripleHead2Go) and a fourth monitor where I drag my zoomed instruments (I'm in full screen). With DX9, I obtain most of the time 30 fps (limit set in NVidia inspector) with some slow down to 25 fps. As I have a lot of add-ons, I often experience OOMs, or at least the famous fsuipc "dings". As I read that DX10 with FSX has a lot better memory management, I'm interrested in this software. But as the cost is quite high, I wanted to try DX10 without it at first (I fly only by day to avoid the DX10 grey textures issue). An her…

After realising AES(Airport Enhancement Services) was needed to get working jetways at aersoft airports, I was also disappointed to find out that many AES models ,Specifically jetways, were missing textures in the DX10 preview. Will DX10 fixer resolve the texture-less jetway issues with AES. Iv'e spent hours searching and iv not found anything that specifically addresses AES. Can anyone say, from experience, whether or not DX10 fixer can fix the texture problems with AES. Thank you.

Hey Guys, I just would like to ask, which Config you use? I do not find here an advice. Greetings Hpinter

Just purchased Carenado's Phenom 100. I'm getting squarish looking landing and strobe lights with DX10 on. The problem disappears when switching to DX9. Any help with this would be appreciated. Also just noticed I'm getting a square halo effect with Carenado's Cirrus's landing lights.
