December 24, 201312 yr I think it was worth it, made the sim so smooth on my end. +1 totally new experience. Chillblast Core i5 14600KF Liquid Cooled RTX 4070 SUPER 32GB RAM. Internet: 1 Gig Fibre.

December 24, 201312 yr After reading this I decided to get it too. I will report how it works with ftx global, Rex direct 4, ASN, GSX and PMDG as I suppose that other addons won't be affected. Hope to get some nice results Tomasz Zawadzki
December 24, 201312 yr Hmm, I must have something else going on in my system. I bought it and tried to use it. Now, whenever I try to use DX10, I get a crash to desktop. FSX complete shuts down and closes. I had to go back into the Fixer and switch back to DX9 just to get FSX to run. I can't even get DX10 to work by switching from within FSX now. So, I am stuck with DX9. Oh well, it was worth a try.

December 24, 201312 yr I might try deleting my old cfg (or moving it) just in case there were some changes that the fixer didn't like? We are all connected..... To each other, biologically......

December 24, 201312 yr PJ wrote an extensive DX10 set up guide, and is worth reading. Starting with a new fsx.cfg is a good idea. And follow the guide and add to the fsx.cfg one step at a time.

December 24, 201312 yr You can get help. Go here http://forum.avsim.net/forum/569-dx-10-discussions-hints-and-help/ Don't give up just because of a glitch which can be fixed. Listen to the man. I had several abortive attempts at swapping to DX10 but faffing about with a fix here, a tweak there a 'you need the latest fix' etc. drove me nuts! Then DX10 Fixer came out. Hardly any learning curve to fret about, just follow your nose. Like my signature says: There's no going back! I think some people are trying to be too smart with it. Oo! I feel a rant coming on. Best stop now. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
December 24, 201312 yr OK - small review from me. DX9 - NEVER AGAIN. I also tweaked some of my NVinspector settings according to J van E thread made some time ago here. I am so GLAD that OP created this topic. I am actually in a new SIM! THANK YOU. Tomasz Zawadzki
December 25, 201312 yr It wasn't worth it for me at all.It seems to benefit weaker systems the most, but it highly depends on your current configuration whether you are going to see an improvement. For me, DX10 default performs WAY better than DX9 default. But if I tweak my DX9 properly (BP=0) I get this exact same performance boost and in fact, DX10 performs very slightly worse for me.You can also expect some bugs at night on Aerosoft airports. For example when you turn you landings lights to off, some of the airports lights will turn off along with it. Arjen Vandervelde
December 25, 201312 yr Well, this old fart finally got DX10 up and going. Thanks for the suggestions -- they worked. Wilson
December 25, 201312 yr I've tried DX10 fixer twice now and have finally reverted to DX9 after failing to get Vsync to work, get acceptable AA and come to terms with DX10's inferior water.

It took me years to reach the level of satisfaction I now get from FSX in DX10 mode. I have P3Dv2, but uninstalled it and am waiting for a patch, and for the oportunity to make an upgrade to my PC - it is certainly a platform with future, but requires up-to-date hardware, specially a good graphics board, to take the most out of what it offers...

December 25, 201312 yr REX4 takes care of the water Howard. Hi Ron, Merry Christmas to you matey. Hey, that's interesting you mention that. So does REX4 simulate the kind if water that is as good as 'sparkling' in REXEssentials, which IMO is first rate?

December 25, 201312 yr I'll be honest and say I haven't experienced this myself, but my TS/flying buddy assures me that whitecaps appear according to the prevailing wind strength. I haven't had time to try it out but I have no reason to doubt him. In fact, I'm going to take a looksee right now. brb Well, there are definitely whitecaps which have been sorely missed in DX10. Whether they are dependent on wind it's hard to say. I tried 16kt and 0kt winds, one after the other. Perhaps it wasn't a fair test. Oh, and Merry Crimble to you too. Another EDIT: Just had another go and I can state categorically that the windier it is the more whitecaps you get! bleedin' brilliant! The World is divided into two groups.
