Hi *******,I tried it with the FSX default config as well as my edited config, same problem. I'll send you my editied config file. I did not install the ENB edit.Thanks

thats really, really weird, the only thing that comes to mind is that you were using the RTM version, but you said you have SP2 installed! with the updated version, none of the BETA testers (or me) that use nVidias had any problem at all.Mike, send me your fsx.cfg at [email protected] let me take a look at it.

Hi *******,The FSX.CFG file has been sent.Thanks

Can any ATI 5870 users trying ******* Mod please try these settings and report back there IQ & FPS findings. Make sure you fly in fairly dense weather. I'm getting some very encouraging results with SSAAand Shader 3.0, FSX AA UN-TICKEDCCC settings:Use application settings UNTICKEDAA Super-Sample x 4 with Wide-tent filter (samples x8)AF x16AI AdvancedAA Mode QualityMipMap Quality

Using *******'s v1.1 and 10.3 driver, and various heavy cloud - smooth is the name, regardless of dips to 14 or so: average airborne is the lock speed - 26. My issue is that all buildings now have blurred walls, and most - not all - aircraft have blurred (the dreaded mauve/purple smear) interiors. The guages are fine - just the panels, carpets, etc - all mud. Clouds, too are somewhat foggy.

This has to be related to the ATI driver. I removed *******'s files and ENBSeries, disabled PNW and the stock buildings were also still blurred; so I have some reinstalling to do..... *******'s general fixes, plus the ATI vSync fix plus ENB have totally reworked this sim. It's just great! Don't stop now!

Paul, try the 10.4 driver I had some major issues with the 10.3, it seems to be a lot better.

Hi,Well, my system does not like this new shader fix at all. I just got done reinstalling fsx, nothing else is installed. After replacing the ShadersHLSL folder within FSX using your update, I then removed the Shaders folder from my C:/users/mike/appdata/local/Microsoft/FSX directory and allowed FSX to rebuild the folders with your new shader update.All I get is a black screen. If I go back to FSX's original Shader folder everything works fine. Any ideas what the problem is?. Syatem specs listed below.

Did you do the ALLOW_SHADER_30=1 in the fsx.cfg after you reinstalled?

Hahaha! I'm just tooo smart! NOT!. Yep, BAW, just loaded them, but haven't flown to check out your setup again. SOMEHOW this "dumb twit" had turned off the Global Texture Resolution! Grrrrr. Anyway - it's back. Old age is creeping up. Back in ten. :(

Hello *******.Just to let you know that your fix works for me : I've got a 5970 and the main different is that everything remains smooth even in heavy Wx... Prior to your shader fix my GPU always stuttered in those conditions... Thank you VERY MUCH. :(

Glad you like it, but mad I returned the 5870 :) anyway... the 480 is also great..... things are even now for nVidia and ATI with FSX :)

... things are even now for nVidia and ATI with FSX :)

I guess so... I'm very pleased with my ATI anyway... Especially with your tweaks ans the latest ATI drivers... :(

" Especially with your tweaks and the latest ATI drivers..." and EZDok EZCA, and TrackIR, and FTX PNW, and REX, and ASE, and 4.2 gig, and 3840 x 1024, and the i7, and the A2A aircraft, and the Maddog, and the Mudry Cap21, and MyTrafficX, ... and ... and... I'm so happy... :( I love my pc, and I love my wife, and I love that ******* guy!.. :( .. and you guys are all great!

*******, the black screens have returned for me when using the PMDG 747X... this is with your latest shader tweak. When I go into the menu and come back the screen is black. Sometimes I can alt + enter and switch to windowed mode and things are OK. Sometimes not. When I quit the game by pressing escape and hitting exit, the free flight preview window is all black. Thoughts?

Yeap, seen that too but ONLY when using ENBSeries. Another BETA tester (and even I) had the same problem, disabled ENBSeries and fixed it. There seems to be something ENBseries doesn't like about the mod, probably Shader 3.0 uses more Video Memory or there is some kind of 'conflict' due to ENBSeries using Shader 3.0 for bloom as well.

Its good to see ATI users getting some good results. Paul, good to see all is well in the world... :(Big thank you to *******, for all your help...

I entered the correct line in FSX.cfg, dropped in the new ShadersHLSL, and I see no change whatsoever using I think the most recent nV driver, nHancer with in-game AA and enhanced AA in the driver. Was hoping to see better water, which still, IMO, is pretty poor by today's processing standards. Any ideas on why this is not looking any difference on my machine, specs below? I don't use the enbseries tweak, and didn't think that was required, yes?Noel
