is now availalbe for download

I don't know what happened to the rest of your post, solaise, but I'll add it here:

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

... now available for download

 

A complete 100% fix for Progressive Taxi which is now identical to DX9.

 

Also some optional bonuses.

 

a) A replacement dark default background to replace the DX10 light blue default. This helps with scenery that has missing textures. DX9 uses a dark texture which stands out less than the blue DX10 one.

 

B) A revised water shader - which is closer in colour tone to DX9 (so not as light blue in the tropics) - if you have the FSWClite shader you may want to stick with that - but the option is there.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

There is also a link in the How-To doc at the top, plus a number fo other mods that have taken place over the last couple of weeks.

I must confess that the water shader was a bit of a rush job so i hard coded the fresnel values in the shader rather than the header.

 

I really rate the dark background texture especially at night when the blue DX10 flashes can be really distracting.

 

Also when there are missing textures the blue stands out which is probably why Aces were using it - i.e to debug scenery.

I like the dark background.

 

A great idea.

 

Thanks

Thanks for your continued work on the shader Steve! Whats the best way to install this update?

Unzip the download, run the setup for the main patch. It doesnt matter if there is a previous version installed.

 

Then if you want to install the water shader go to its sub directory and run its setup - if you have a non standard DX10 shader installed then it wont install - it needs the original file to edit.

 

The black background is just a file that you copy - no installer - see the instructions for where to copy it.

Manty thanks for your continued work on Dx10 Steve!

PJ has pointed out to me that the minor fix that I included in this version for Geneva airport and didn't make any play of seems to help with some night time grey textures.

 

It isnt a complete solution - they now appear textured but unlit but it is a lot better than a featureless grey box which is how they appeared before.

 

I am working on a more complete solution that will include the night time textures, but for now it seems a lucky success.

 

Try it out and see what you find.

WOW! :smile: So you are close to fix the blue-grey textures at runways??? I had a feeling that Santa Clauss will get me a nice present at Christmas! Ho! Ho! Ho! :biggrin:

Great work! Please update topic "How To" with this 3.2 ver. file... I cant dowload it from library :(

Thanks Steve for your continued work on DX10.

 

One more small step for FSX and one giant step for DX10.
