November 21, 201015 yr Author some option menu to choose to install eg the waterconstants.xml or not.I believe I could do that, but then it will defeat the initial purpose of the installer, which is to target the 'newby'You guys pretty much know how to handle yourselves with fsx.cfg, adding mods etc. but the other 90% will mess their FSX setups big time :) and the worst is, they go to OTHER forums to ask for help! people really DON"T read/like instructions! this is a 'point and click' no need to read if you don't want to automated 'clean' installer. In fact, it took me longer setting up the installer to be dummy proof than it took me modifying the actual shaders :)I have another surprise up my sleeve, but right now is restricted access. You can see what I'm talking about here:http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.htmlI should finish that today.
November 21, 201015 yr He is not. The only way to fix it is to do a hex edit. The change is actually very 'trivial' it only requires to pass a different value to a function. It basically requires to change a 4 with a 5 ;) the problem is to find the exact address to do this. I already asked for help to a very skilled D3D programmer in our forums ;) 'Daniel42' lets see...Hi.Just one question, are there any progress with that editing of that file, just wonder because it would be very nice to have it back. ( I'm using HIGHMEMFIX in my fsx.cfg)

Be aware that taskmanager shows the amount of threads, not the actual cores.Here it shows 8x in performance, but i only have 4 real cores.Also be aware the performance per MHz differs very much for each model. Especially people with older CPUs might have 3-4ghz cpu's but have mediocre performance John doe
November 21, 201015 yr Author Very nice! What do you mean by CPUs in taskmanager?

Especially people with older CPUs might have 3-4ghz cpu's but have mediocre performanceCorrect, thats why the next question is: Do you have HT enabled? I internally can determine, based on # of cores, HT setting and speed what 'kind' of CPU you have. Besides, I just need aproximates.I'm currently testing it with my laptop, desktop and a crappy old desktop I have with Vista installed. tested with a vanilla fsx.cfg and also with highly tweaked ones. The tool can 'recommend only' (and not change anything) or if you wish you can download a custom version of your own fsx.cfg based on your answers/settings.It is of course 100% safe, because it uses the file YOU send, not the one you have installed in your FSX machine. So you can send a 'backup' fsx.cfg for analisys just to test the tool capabilities. It will also look for errors, duplicate entries, missing sections etc etc. It's almost done ;) probably will be releasing tonight.Hi.Just one question, are there any progress with that editing of that file, just wonder because it would be very nice to have it back. ( I'm using HIGHMEMFIX in my fsx.cfg)It's in my todo list... unfortunately, having the author ignore my messages makes thing slower. Trust me, I DO want that ENBSeries back very badly and we will ;) it's a matter of time.
November 21, 201015 yr Hi Gerard,What do you mean you saved the new darker water textures as Shader 3? Do you mean just the name you gave them when you saved them within the REX control panel, or what? Thanks...Kind regards,Hi Stephen,Yes, when saving the textures I named them Shader3 mod.Now from the dropdown menu you can choose the new textures. So they are normal textures , but made darker. 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0

November 21, 201015 yr I didnt know you could save rex water as shader 3, I did that and now my water is perfect. Thank you Josh[ CPU: Intel i9-11900K @5.2 / RAM: 64GB DDR4 3200 / GPU: 4080 16GB /
November 22, 201015 yr I didnt know you could save rex water as shader 3, I did that and now my water is perfect. Thank you Josh[ I miss spoke about my water being right. I have tried all the steps mentioned above with no avail. As far as the installer and the shader 3 I think there great, but for now I am returning back to shader 2. The process with the install and uninstall is fantastic and could not be easier. Hopefully in the future rex or water configuratior will support these shaders. If anyone as a answer or I am missing something here let me know.Josh CPU: Intel i9-11900K @5.2 / RAM: 64GB DDR4 3200 / GPU: 4080 16GB /
November 22, 201015 yr Did you change your shader version # in the fsx.cfg file after loading the new rex textures? Maybe that will fix it

November 22, 201015 yr Author Hi *******,Even after deleting the Shader cache folders manually I have black aircraft textures like in th epast.What do I need to do again ?It means, you uninstalled (which removes the ALLOW_SHADER_30) but your 'previous' shaders were 3.0 so if you check your fsx.cfg you'll see there is no ALLOW_SHADER_30 line.

November 23, 201015 yr Check the readme file on what to change in the WaterConstants.Xml file. or you mean wave animations in the shore?I can see the bumps , but no movement from the water.Also no wave animations at the shore. 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0
November 23, 201015 yr Just one question, are there any progress with that editing of that file, just wonder because it would be very nice to have it back.I did analyze the ENB mod. It will actually take three modifications and a hijack of an ENB ini setting, but the D3D calls that are made can be 'highmemfixed'. Unfortunately there is more... using the flag also disables something else (named parameters) in D3D and if the ENB mod is using this it will stop working completely. I have mailed the details to *******...Daniel
