Re The "what's going on here" topic

[Reader 2,021]

I too have found that Dx9 performs much better than it did following the use of the Dx10 fixer.

I have found as well, that even without the two "Multisamples" entries in the fsx.cfg file, Dx10 is perfectly well antialiased.

I am able to swap between modes by doing no more than changing DX10=1 to =0.

 

The difference I can detect is that a typical scene, for example the one pictured below,

in Dx9 consumes 2,040,824 kb of VAS, whereas in Dx10, it consumes 1,858,580.

 

These are my settings in NI, I do not change them between Dx9 and 10.

(I do not use the default MS Flightsimulator X profile, rather the Base profile amended only as shown, saved as MS FSX and linked to Fsx.exe) 

 

Dx10

 

Dx9

 

I also have no idea why and am simply pleased that it has happened.

Hmm? Why didn't you post a reply on the other topic and instead started a new one?

Since you ask, because the other topic has moved on to another possible side effect/benefit and I did not wish to interrupt.
