January 26, 200917 yr It reported that an AVSIM staff member saw 40-60 fps improvement with a WinXP port of DX10 in FS2004. Given that FS2004 was written to use DX9, I can't imagine how that could be the case.RegardsBob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
January 26, 200917 yr I glanced at that story eariler with a bucket full of scepticism.I might be willing to try it , but how easy would it be to roll back to DX9I suppose i should have read the review a bit more ,but I got as far as someone dissmissing the screenshots as artists renderings and dropped the review there.But Nothing ventured nothing gained as they say .So!! Who is brave /daft/computer savy enough to give it a shot MarkEDIT just found the linkDX10 for XP
January 26, 200917 yr this has been discussed before. there WAS a group stating they would 'hack' DX10 to work with winXP. that group failed and i believe their blog/www has closed. my guess is a forum search, and a search of other flightsim related forums, may find details and maybe the old link.VISTA and DX10 share 'new code' that cannot be 'forced back' to work with winXP.-- D.

January 26, 200917 yr I hear what you are saying ScoobYou can play a dx7 or 8 game on a dx9 machine but I have never noticed an improvement in the way the link i posted has hinted at I loved the Enemy engaged series and that was modded out of recognition from the original , but the thing that holds it back from the modders really letting rip is the fact that it is not dx9 So i really cant see what this would bring to the table !As I said earlier maybe some brave soul will come along and make me eat my wordsMark
January 26, 200917 yr Moderator Search through Phil Taylor's older blog entries. Several months ago he posted a link to a statement by the "developers" that they were throwing in the towel, since they were simply unable to realize their theories.As a result, they dropped the idea completely.

January 26, 200917 yr Hi,My guess the frontpage was hacked. It was only a 2 line message with a link directly to that website. If it indeed came from one of the AVSIM Staff, it would have been posted in one of the forums, and linked to the forum on the main site.Just a Hoax.

January 26, 200917 yr I saw it. I was dumb enough to try it. It did nothing. There seemed to be no benefit or disadvantage. The installer was in Russian I believe. I decided to remove it and use the restore point I made before I installed this. My advise for what it's worth is don't mess with it. Anyway. my story and I am sticking to it.Pat Callaghan Hi,My guess the frontpage was hacked. It was only a 2 line message with a link directly to that website.

January 26, 200917 yr I thought it was an early April fool joke. Gavin Barbara Over 10 years here and AVSIM is still my favourite FS site :-)
January 26, 200917 yr I thought it was an early April fool joke.I am sure it was! I am running FS9 in Vista with DX10 installed. None or no obvious improvement at all!Hugo
