Hello,

 

forgive me not to crawl throught the 478 posts of the main thread.

I have just one question: how is it about addon airports? Especially Aerosoft ones.

They got grey in night with DX10.

 

Is this the case also with this new DX10 fix?

What Steve's fix does is to correct the inherent DX10 errors in FSX. Add-ons are separate. People have been recommending Addon Converter X to address issues with add-ons, with good results.

I am going to do a fresh installation next week with the upcoming aerosoft extended and rex essentails and the pro atc.

 

so to beable to run the dx10 preview all one needs to do is

 

1.download and install steve's DX10 Shader Fixes V3.0.0

 

2.buy a copy of the addon Addon Converter X progam ?

 

3.Have a fiddle with the AA and AF (force) settings in my radeon catalyst settings ??

 

thanks, i also didnt want to trawl though 478 posts and need a beginners guide to doing it.

Yes - there's a lot to read, Bono! I'm writing a bit of a blurb to be able to help with that particular problem. You've got the gist of it, but It's not quite that simple! Of course - I might never finish it, either.... :lol:

great thanks a million

Daytime looks fine. Only issues are the cars on the highways/roads.No textures.

Many nighttextures do not show up.

No Addon Converter X.

It looks Addon Converter X is becoming a must for switching to dx10.

AddonConverter X does not work with nighttextures as far as I read it...

Yeah I've run my Aerosoft sceneries through ACX and they're not fixed.

 

I guess what we need to know is what the problem actually is and then we can set about fixing it.

I saw that textures that do show up are DDS DXT1 textures.

 

So I tried converting the tower textures to DDS , but even then they don't appear.

Hopefully it is not in the model itself.

G,

 

I sent you a pm. If you know the names of the night and day textures, can you try an experiment by renaming the day texture to be the night one as well? Being careful to have backup of course!

 

Clearly it will be way too bright if it works but it will show if it's the texture or the model.

Can anybody who bought AddonConverter X confirm that about the night textures? This would be a deal breaker for me (both re ACX and FSX vs PR3D). :(

 

Thanks,

Dirk.

That was the kind of problems I was asking about ....

 

 

I forgot to post back here, sorry. But I tried it myself and yes, as stated above, many sceneries do not work correctly under DX10. Aerosoft states that "DX10 is just a preview and as such not supported".

 

So do not wait for a fix from their side - this discussion has been for a few years now ...
