Few shots after I switched over to DX10

Featured Replies

Few random shots...The RealAir Scout and the default Lear 45(went old school here)

 

The Scout was in ORBX New Zealand

 

The Lear was on a cross country flight from KCLM to KATL and i believe the shots were taken flying near KJAC(also ORBX scenery)

 

Clouds and WX engine is AS2012SP2beta6 (since they released the SP2 beta it has taken back the crown from OPUS for me)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope you enjoyed!

 

I run FSX in win 8 Pro, windowed mode, i have two monitors and usually have FSCommander or EFB running on the other.

Computer Specs: i5-4690K 3.5 GHz overclocked to 4.0GHz / MSI GTX 960 4GB Video Card / 16GB Kingston HyperX Fury 1866MHz DDR3 System RAM / MSI Z97-G45 Motherboard / Crucial MX200 500GB mSATA SSD

nice photos! How did you get anti-aliasing in DX10?

Pretty sharp looking shots! How much of an average frame rate increase did you see after the change to DX10?

NVIDIA Inspector..the details are in the AVSIM FSX tuning guide

My system is by no means a beast, but in most situations i am at 35 fps. I set the internal FSX frame limiter to unlimited and use NVIDIA inspector as an external frame limiter set at 35fps. The biggest thing i noticed by switching to DX10 preview is how smooth it runs. No stutters. And the visuals look a whole lot nicer.

Totally agree. I followed the Avsim Tuning guide and will never go back to DX9. Still some airport lighting issues with certain developers and some white AI traffic issues but they are getting resolved gradually. The flight smoothness and graphics improvements far outweigh the few other issues. In many ways it's like flying a newer upgrade to FSX. Definite, although not huge frame rate increase too which is always welcome.

I really need to try this and make a switch! :) if the dx10 is not for me how easy is to revert back to fs9

Save your FSX.cfg while in DX9 and simply uncheck the DX10 preview and your back to where you were before. You will need to revert back to previous Nivia Inspector settings but that too is as easy as saving your previous NI config. Suggest you switch over to the DX10 forum to continue the converstaion - all answers are there.

I like the low cloud layer in the first image!

That shot was just after i broke thru the clouds. I was hoping for clouds almost all the way to touchdown. The new service pack of AS2012 is really nice.
