January 12, 201412 yr I just purchased the DX10 fixer a few days ago and so far I have been really satisfied. It has taken a while to tweak, but so far I'm seeing better fps and smoothness for the most part. My problem (and I'm sure this has been answered but couldn't find it): Whenever I'm on a runway and dust/snow starts to kick up behind the plane, my fps will drop (around 10 fps). It will do this even when I'm in the cockpit and the effects are not in sight. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there are way to turn this off? I'm using REX 2.0 (I'm too cheap to upgrade) and Opus for weather. I'm running a 2500K @4.4 with an old GTX460.
January 12, 201412 yr Commercial Member You problem is related to the effects fix(dx10 compatible lights). Disable it, select convert simple effects only from the options menu (cannot remember exact menu name) then enable dx10compatible lights again. My FSX Analysis Blog
January 12, 201412 yr Flying at night, dusk, or dawn in DX9 or DX10 is a fps killer. One reason why I try to avoid nighttime flying.
