DxtFixerX

Same here....the Unicode finds nothing but the original (non-unicode) does find a bunch of bad files

 

Yes, I can confirm this. I've removed the file for now.

 

The tool is still very much in an experimental stage, and I'm no guru when it comes to programming, but I'll try to sort out the problems.

I tested the tool on some sceneries, including Amsterdam, I saw FPS increase of about 10% in the same view, 31fps vs 33fps. But I didn't test anything else yet.

 

Neumanix, see if you can solve the problem. In the meantime, I'll unpin it. When you are done and tested, we'll see further.

I finally finished up fixing all my missing alpha textures last night using a combo of AlphaSearcher2 and DxFixerX that was the prior version from the AVSIM library. I was amazed when I ran AlphaSearcher2 and saw how many alpha-less textures I had in scenery but mostly in the AI department. For some reason DxFixerX wouldn't fix all the AI and scenery textures, so after rechecking the work with AlphaSearcher2 I did the remaining few files manually with DXTBmp.

 

So far after testing I have not really seen that much of an improvement over what I already had, but maybe a touch smoother with a lot of AI around. Personally I think the biggest gain I got was from when I originally mipped all my AI a few years ago. Even though the batch tool I used stripped some of the alpha textures, the smoothness and FPS increase was way more noticeable than when I went back in a added the missing alphas back. All in all though its probably better having the missing alphas added back in that not.

 

Still wondering about checking all the .dds files that I have since the 2 tools dont check those.

I don't know how but this made my simulator unstable for some reason . First when i click fly now in FSX it loads but half of the screen is more black than the other. This never happen before my FPS at KATL is very low the lowest i have ever seen it to 3 an 4 . So before i did this fix i created a system restore point, but it looks like it didn't save anything . So now am stuck with fsx running unstable i would say because before this fix FSX was stable even dow i would receive those 2 second pause flying over different scenery for example GTX areas in North America which includes KATL ATLANTA . When i ran DXtFixerX i selected the root fsx folder an it even found error on aircraft scenery from all kind of payware such as GTX, TropicalSIm, LatinVFR etc.... It fix it but ever since that happen now my fsx is running unstable an i don't know what to do . I can't understand how FPS got to 3 an 4 when i use to have FPS to 60 to 30 . An its not because of the aircraft i know am using QualityWings 757 but no matter what aircraft i try it runs very low FPS.

Mr340, I had some random white spider web looking things appearing on my screen after running the tool to fix some scenery and AI alpha issues. I shut FSX down and rebooted my rig and tested FSX again at the same sceneries, day/time and using the same ac where I was getting the white spider webs and all is good again.

 

Maybe a fresh reboot of your rig will take care of it for you as well.

Am trying to remember the log file from DXtFixerX all the error where it coming from. So base from the log file what i am really doing right now is reinstalling all the scenery that DXtFixerX said it had errors on. I think is working because after reinstalling GEX FPS went back up in KATL. Am trying to remember what other scenery it give me those same error . As far as the DXtFixerX the program is not bad it just needs a little more work on . I think it even help me to determine which scenery i have these errors , so i can reinstall it again an maybe get a little more FPS . But i will advice fellow Simmers who might had this similar issues that before running DXtFixerX make sure to select to post log file that will only tell you the errors in your sim NOT FIX!. Don't have the program correct the error try reinstalling every scenery that DXtFixerX found errors on. It may take sometimes but at lease you know it won't affect your fsx like it did mines,by having DXtFixerX fix your errors. Hope this help anyone who may have similar issues.

Am sorry what happen was when i ran the program again it overwrite the current log file. So right now it only shows no files were altered. Everything seems to be OK! That is why i didn't post the log file .

Just tried it.

 

Thought I was getting a few white flashing areas afterwards.

On reboot everything seems ok.

These are the default FSX textures.I checked with imagetool, and they are indeed DXT3( no alpha).

Should the tool be correcting the stock FSX textures?

I mean are the stock Microsoft textures broken?

I did those too, no sideeffects seen.

 

OK!

Oh, I know - that was a suggestion for the creator. It would be nice if it had a couple logs so you know what was fixed. I wanted to go to the airports that were fixed to see if there was a difference but I can remember which ones were fixed.

Spent quite a it of time this last weekend running this tool through my FSX directory and all other scenery folders outside FSX folder. It found and fixed quite a number of textures.

One thing I noticed though, was that when selecting a folder containing photosceneries with a large number of files, the fixing process took a long, long time, when I checked on

the task manager it reported that the program was not responding. This happened when checking all large photo sceneries, such as those by Gottfried Razek, Megascenery, etc.

However it's possible that there was nothing wrong with them on the first place. One i can confirm is that it didn't mess up my FSX installation in any way. Didn't bother to check

framerates, but did notice faster loading and sharper textures.
