So there is a saying... If it aint broke don't fix it... BUT... I see all these new textures in AS2012 and REX and decide it's time for a cosmetic update...

 

1) Install new textures (new REX)

2) Load up FSX (in DX10 of course)

3) Red Progessive taxi markings and missing lights

4) Re run the 3.1.1 shader batch file

5) Batch file says "Sorry these are not the originals (HLSL)"

6) Try to install manually... no runways or taxi ways no progressive taxi

 

I'm trying to get

A ) DX10 working correctly

B )All the fixes applied

 

How do I manually apply the patch if the batch file is saying not original?

For the HLSL, should I do a FSX fix from the control panel?

Lastly, since things seem so FUBAR, how can I start all over?

 

I'd really like to start it all over so I can document the modifications in case I do feel like seeing something new. (Like smaller cloud foot prints for FPS purposes)

Thanks for any help

Hi Cory; You're trying to apply the patch to an HLSL folder that is already patched - so just delete what's there now, and follow below.

 

You must have the original ShadersHLSL folder complete, under the normal FSX root folder. If you don't have that - get it here, and just drop it in. If you want a ready-patched ShadersHLSL folder - get it here. Once you have that in place - go to the shaders cache folder (should be your:-

 

C:\Users\{your username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\FSX\ folder )

 

and delete the "Shaders10 folder. Next - start the sim.

 

You can darken the water, and fix the rain, and that is described in the "How-To" doc.

 

OK?

 

:smile:

Thanks for the quick response.

 

I put in your patched files and I have red progressive taxi. I'm going to be using more VATSIM more but I would like to have the correct textures.

 

I'm going to:

 

1) Apply the rain fix

2) Light fix

3) the texture fix (for missing textures)

 

If you have any more ideas on the red arrows for Progressive, please let me know and thank you for your help.

NP, Cory!

that this is a texture issue..

Got it and thanks.. One last thing, I noticed in that replay there was some code at the bottom. Is that already in the patch? I tried to find where to copy and paste it to but was unable.

 

If it can't be fixed ill make due with the red. I should be flowing the signs anyway.

Yep. The Progressive Taxi fix was an early fix, and was in the first patch. What you saw there were the other fixes.

Ok thanks for the help. I think DX10 is awesome and I'll think twice about updating textures next time!
