December 27, 201213 yr I reformatted my HD and re-installed fsx with the DX10 option and holy cow I get smooth fast fps with no bugs, is this a dream or did Win8 fix dx10 in fsx?
December 27, 201213 yr Everything is fast after reinstalling Windows and FSX. I had the same experience recently and installed Steve's DX10 Shader Fix and everything was fast and smooth. But DX10 or having a new OS is the secret of fast frames. Wait until you start adding addons. I had instant startups at first but now it is starting to get slower and slower. I know that when I reinstall my AI program, fps will drastically drop. This is why I'm holding off on doing that for a while. This is another fine example I provide those up in the CTD forums when they report a crash. FSX runs great with just FSX and Acceleration installed. It's smooth and fps are in the 100's. Then you start adding addons and things go down from there. So one should not blame FSX. It works great without addons. Best regards, Jim Jim Young | AVSIM Online! - Simming's Premier Resource!

December 27, 201213 yr I chose the dx10 option after installing fsx/Rex/ORBX/ and 4 FSDT Airports.....so far so good, fingers crossed :Praying:
December 27, 201213 yr Yes, me too! I also installed MegaScenery SoCal and Maryland and AS2012. Still superfast but things appear to be slowing down more than when I just had a basic FSX/Acceleration install. I also installed many of the FTX/Orbx Scenery too.

December 27, 201213 yr My DX10 setup flies so smooth but the startup is very slow, hangs at 6% and 23% for a few minutes before moving on. Mark CYYZ
December 29, 201213 yr I reformatted my HD and re-installed fsx with the DX10 option and holy cow I get smooth fast fps with no bugs, is this a dream or did Win8 fix dx10 in fsx? Hey Flash - So did you use Steve's DX10 fixes during your re-install, or did just using Win8 seem to make all the usual DX10 troubles go away? Danny Hicks
December 29, 201213 yr Hey Flash - So did you use Steve's DX10 fixes during your re-install, or did just using Win8 seem to make all the usual DX10 troubles go away? just win8, Bojote's and Kostas tweak guide
December 29, 201213 yr Where are and where are "Steve's DX10 files" , and what are the benefits? I thought FSX was dx9. Bob Officially retired
December 29, 201213 yr N1G - Have a read through this: http://stevesfsxanalysis.wordpress.com/ Steve has come up with a bunch of fixes for the "DX10 Preview" that was made available in SP2 of FSX. Fixes flashing runways, fences, cockpit shadows. You'll find the link to the files in the top right menu. Danny Hicks
December 30, 201213 yr Bob, FSX has a DX10 Preview option. It is not full fledged DX10. Ok, that is what I should have asked. I assumed there was a new magic bullet when I read this. Not interested then, Thanks Jim! Bob Officially retired
December 30, 201213 yr Ok, that is what I should have asked. I assumed there was a new magic bullet when I read this. Not interested then, Thanks Jim! Bob There is a DX10 Forum here which contains all the details of the fixes made by Steve. It costs nothing extra to try it as he fixed the runway flickering issue, the not seeing taxiways issue, and some other things that have bugged members. It is not perfect but then neither is FSX or DX9. I like the fact that you can see shadows inside the cockpits and that provides further immersion into FSX. It's impossible to do that in DX9. Water is better too and there are some performance enhancements. Best regards, Jim Jim Young | AVSIM Online! - Simming's Premier Resource!
