dx10 for the first time

[paula 0]

I got from the simforum a link for steve's dx10 downloads

so I did and the positive thing is I dont have any stutters are hickups.

what I noticed is water looks like white so I tried fswclight and tried one of the possibilties given

but it didnot do anything

furthermore smooth flying but as soon as its raining then fps drops from 30 to 10

any idea how I could improve the dx10?

if it wont work then I always can go back to dx9 isn't it

Hi Paula! Welcome to the club!! :yahoo:

 

I assume you've downloaded 3.2.2, and successfully installed it, but did you also install the Bonus - Water mod v1.0.0? This will darken the water to where it's something like DX9 water.

As far as rain dropping your frame rate to 10 from 30 - could you put your system specs into your Profile, so we can see what you're running - also any overclock if you have done so. Lastly would you copy/paste your fsx.cfg, renaming the copy as "Paula_fsx.txt", and then (using the "More Reply Options) box at the bottom of the screen - attach it to your next post, and we'll take a look at that to see if there's anything missed, or is wrong or not appropriate. OK? :wink:

 

All the Best,

Been using it none stop since I 'moved over' and not going back - welcome aboard

I have further gtx 680 / SSD 512gb/mobo Z77/intel 3770K overclocked 4.4 ghz/use three screens for the whole scenery 3x 27 inch/

it worked like a charm in fsx dx9 under each circumstances but there was always a small hickup and stuttering.

with dx10 thats gone but as i said the water isnot nice and with clouds and rain its a big problem which i didnot have in fsx dx9.

strange isnot it?

[SteveW 1,792]

Default FSX water, Sky, and Clouds, steves DX10 fix the only mod + IF weather: http://flightsimulatornetwork.com/photo/going-to-warr-1?context=user

[paula 0]

i gave my cfg file is that correct. i have default but should i do now?.your link shows how it looks like but mine doesnot show up like that so what do i wrong?

[Paul J 349]

 

 

Here is your cfg, paula. You have a "slow-ish (4.4 GHz) processor with a very fast GPU, so I've made a good number of changes. I would suggest move the proc to 4.6GHz. - then you will have a nice system.

[paula 0]

ok thanks for that what about my water it is still soft and light 50% less then fsx dx9 dont know how to change it

[SteveW 1,792]

That's not a default .cfg get rid of it and let FSX make a new fsx.cfg. Set your GPU control panel to defaults as well.

[Paul J 349]

Thanks Steve. :mellow:

[paula 0]

i filled in the modified cfg which i got from paul and if i should make a new one then i have to modify it again like your bufferpools set up and multisampling and fiber frame etc.but stil i have the problem that the water could not be changed and it is too pale.what can i do

[Paul J 349]

From my earlier post, paula:

"I assume you've downloaded 3.2.2, and successfully installed it, but did you also install the Bonus - Water mod v1.0.0? This will darken the water to where it's something like DX9 water".

 

Did you install this?

[SteveW 1,792]

Thanks Steve. :mellow:

crossed posts, apologies.

[paula 0]

yes i did and as before i put the bkg in fsx and took out the old one. even if i choose steve or someone else his water in fswclight then nothing changes. even the dark water doesnot do anything so prob. something is wrong. if you havenot a solution for it then the best thing is to go back to fsx normal.your modifications to my cfg file were fine, during rain i dont loose any fps. so the most concern is the water colour.if i do the setup 3.2.2 then i see nothing happens and i dont know if i have to do something in the hsl water , take the old out and put the new one in, i read somewhere about it but if i do so my screen is black
