No problem with the 777 in dx10.

 

Wonder if it would be easier for Steve to sell through flight 1 or another publisher. I'm awaiting this fix as much as I was waiting for the 777.

 and the only really new thing wil be that it solves the FTX Global lights

 

How about the fixing of all of the ugly new airports with the grey textures? How about those ugly old airports with black textures, missing textures? How about snow? How about car headlights? How about all those old aeroplanes? Aircraft lights? 

 

I think Steve will make note of these remarks, Jeroen, and will charge you double, disable your patches, and put you at the very bottom of the list!!  ...and make it so it doesn't understand Dutch!

 

  :LMAO: :LMAO:

 

All the Best! :drinks:

 

:friends: 

 

Yes... I was just pulling your leg... B)

What about one of those ecommerce stores that are prebuilt. Like an ebay store or amazon?

They take paypal and would automate things.

LOL!!! (I wanted to add a few smileys here bit you posted the maximum amount LOL )

 

BTW I will pay double voluntarily (is that a word...?) if he also solves the tooltips problem. (Add another smiley here...)

One of the established stores is going to be the best course. They can create an instal wrapper and use their server based authentication. Will cost him a percentage of the cost, but takes care of distribution as well as server, delivery and basic pirating issues.

 

Simmarket, or with Orbx's need to have it fix their FTXG DX10 lighting maybe flightsimstore could be a good option?

Why not both? It would cover "Orbx country" and Europe distribution pretty well.

This question may have already been answered and I just have overlooked it but to prepare for the big day next week - how do we handle all the tweaks made using the "DX10 How to do Guide"? Will the "fixer" just overwrite the shaders, lights, etc or should I remove everything prior to using Steve's new software?

 

Hi Carl!  The latest three versions have the ability to recognise this, and so it won't matter - however, my personal thought is that I will remove the ShadersHLSL folder and re-install the stock folder, but letting it rebuild the shaders cache folder. That will also work, and very safely. To give you a small taste, here are three or four pages of the almost-complete 62-page manual.

 

If you have questions - please don't hesitate to ask!

Man I can't wait for this.  Especially glad that it sounds like it can go in and remove previously applied DX10 fixes (applied via the current way) since I forgot to back up everything apparently before jumping in to DX10 lol.  I haven't found anything obviously odd when I turn off DX10 but I'm sure there could be something.

HMM thought I read T777 was not dx10 supported ? Their product page does not state anything on dx9 or dx10, can anyone confirm if it in fact does work correctly in dx10 please

Check post 240 and 241.

I saw those post but looking for some pmdg official statement, I dont think they support dx10

I assume you mean the aircraft which John, post #240 called the "T7" - short for Triple-7" ? The PMDG Boeing 777-200 LRF?

 

Jim posted on this about for days ago, Richard - here's the post.

 

Aren't we all the most helpful bunch? :lol:

Just because they don't officially support it doesn't mean it doesn't work though.  From what I understand the two main problems you can have with airplanes are if it was designed for FS9 (which PMDG definitely is not) you can end up with white airplanes with no liveries because the texture files are not in a DX10 compatible format (DX10 fixer tool will fix that) and the other potential problem with planes is the lights not showing at certain angles.  I don't know all the details on that one (although I believe the fixer tool is supposed to be able to fix problem airplanes) but I do know that I have a high quality freeware Citation X that does have lighting issues.  If the landing lights are not on, nav/strobes don't show at certain angles or at all (seems to depend on what lights REX loaded) but my Qualtywings Avro series has zero problems at all with any lighting.  Of course QW says in their FAQ specifically that the plan is compatible with DX10 though.

I haven't noticed any issues yet with DX10, but I'll keep looking.

PayPal is easy, it's even easier to setup a web site (GoDaddy will do this) that will have a PayPal payment link.  PayPal does take a % cut (aka fee).

 

But I do think some type of DRM is needed or Steve is under estimating the sales potential.  Either way, I can wait an extra month or so ... it's not the end of the world if it's delayed.

Thanks Paul,

Also good to see a preview of the instructions. Now we just have to wait for the big day. This may make more headlines than the T7. (LOL).
