Hi guys,

 

after reading all DX10 stuff here and on other places on the internet I decided to give it a try and spend €25 for the tool.

But all in all I am pretty frustrated because the fps drops down to 10 coming from 25 on DX9.

 

My way:

1. I did a backup of my old fsx.cfg

2. I studied the manual and installed the DX10 fixer on my second disk which contains all FSX data.

3 The installer is doing fine and so I was really looking foward to start my FSX initially. Followed the instructions given in the installer and activated missing parts.

4. Highmem=1, Bufferpools=0, and so on

4. Started FSX- it takes longer than before and accepted all dlls from all my add-ons.

ALL my Add-ons are working at night (Aerosoft sceneries and UK2000 sceneries as well, FTX global too,PMDG,Airbus EXE 1.15)

5. I always press Strg+Z to check the fps: got "amazing" 10fps

6. Started REX ESS.

7. Started VATSIM client

8. While updating the REX weather engine drops to 5-6 :(

9. Views in or outside take time to load all the graphics (black shapes before coming up correctly)

10. Taxiing is like a slideshow // Flying a bit better but poor

 

During flights I normally have 35-40fps on DX9. Approaching Mega airports the fps are about 25fps

Now I have only 10-15 fps during flights and about 10 fps or less while approaching mega airports

 

I can't see any improvement on fsx. Better said. On my machine it is getting worse. That sucks and by now a wasting of money.

 

Is there anything I do wrong? Could cry when reading about your fps after installing DX10 fixer.

Do really need help :Praying:!

 

 

My computer:

ASROCK FX990

AMD Phenom X4 965 BE (not oc)

16 GB DDR3-1866

ATI HD6950

2x Samsung IPS235 on Eyefinity

Try it without the Bufferpools=0 tweak but also post your DX10 fsx.cfg here !

Hope you have got a clue.

 

Cheers uhecht

What I just found out a couple of minutes ago:

 

I put all ATI settings back to FSX managed. These settings I normally use on DX9. The improvement of fps has enhanced from 12 to 19 @Aerosoft Munich airport. Hope DX10 is not being affected.

ok, here are your frame killers !

 

AirlineDensity=20

FreewayDensity=20

GADensity=20

LeisureBoatsDensity=40

ShipsAndFerriesDensity=40

 

waaay too much traffic ! lower these settings (I fly with AirlineDensity=10 and FreewayDensity=10 only to get good fps, nothing else (and my system is quite good)!

 

Also it´s good to let fsx rebuild a new stock fsx.cfg !

ok, you are right. My mistake. After rebuilding a clean fsx.cfg I forgot to put the settings for AirlineDensity / ... back to zero.

 

Now I did another try. And it works for me so far!

I didn't toggle the shadow boxes inside the installer and it rocks. @ Aerosoft Munich Airport cockpit view about 20fps (Airbus EXE, REX Ess, FS2Crew, FSinn) // Outside 30fps Brilliant.

 

Will toggle shadows step by step to the point of dropping fps.

I see you are slowly getting back on track already, but here's my reply anyway: you shouldn't have created a completely new cfg imho. On my PC I use the exact same cfg for both: I only use different profiles for my GPU (using nVidia Inspector but you have an ATI card so I don't know how things works with that one). You might want to see what happens if you reinstall your original cfg and then enable DX10 again with all the options using the Fixer.

 

BTW You say you used Bufferpools=0 but I don't see that in your cfg. (I do see you used bojote's tool... I would never ever do that but that's another story...). So try it with Bufferpools=0: that is the only real tweak I use and it makes a world of difference.

Hi Jan,

 

after disabled shadows I have had (that's normal) problems when it got dark. So I re-enabled the shadows but configured the single shadows' sliders more to the left. And here we go: I have a really good balance in having fine fps during departure or even arrival of Mega airports and using DX10. So it works pretty good for me.

 

Steve: Sorry for that at the beginning. What an amazing tool! I have never seen FSX in such a good shape before. Perfect.

 

One issue remains but is not caused by the DX10 fixer. Aerosoft airport vehicles aren't displayed correctly. But that's another story.

 

All in all: Great job and it is worth every single cent.

Please change the title of the thread. Without reading the replies, people will assume the fixer is bad.

How does it work?

Hhm, impossible to edit the title. Not such an option down the first article :-(

You can't edit topit titles on this forum. You could ask a mod to do it though.

Never mind, a quick read will soon show any doubters that the problem was  yours and not the Fixer.

 

(Only one s in disappointment by the way)

Nick

Hi uhecht,

 

I have an ATI 5870 card too and I could not get AA to work in DXT10. Everything else seems to be fine and it looks very good, but the missing AA is a show stopper for me and I went back to DX9 because of that.

 

Care to share how you managed to get AA to work?

 

Cheers
