New to DX10, water looks strange

Featured Replies

Hi there!

Because of the many positive reviews and the beautiful pics and videos featuring DX10, I decided to buy Steve´s DX10 fixer today.

I am on my first test flight right now, everything is working fine so far (including the beautiful VC shadows), but somehow, my water looks really strange and there seems to be no animation of waves at all. The setting within FSX is high 2x.

Please have a look:

Oh no!

Sure, I have REX Essentials installed and I haven´t reinstalled the default textures before I switched to DX10.

No I mean reinsyall the rex textures not the default textures....its not required when switching from dx9 tp dx10 but for somereason it maybe the cause

Okay, I´ll give it a try as soon as I land.

So I reinstalled the REX textures, but the water still looks very strange:

I totally forgot that I use FS Water Configurator which changes the water shaders. the results in DX9 were great, maybe it leads to problems in DX10 now?

Did you try unchecking DX10 and water animations in the Rex configuration?

(Sorry not beside the PC,so can't show exactly).

Since I never used DX10 yet, I think all DX10 options within REX Essentials should be unchecked, but I'll have a look later!

I unchecked "water animations" and DX 10 optimization, checked either one, checked both, but it is always the same result:

Did you have when using dx9 bojotes shader 3 installed? If yes remove it with dx10 it causes problems.

I had a lot of water issues when I used REX water textures.  I wasn't happy with the animation at all. 

 

I took Paul's advice and installed the water animation called "Frequency" from AS2012, and I disabled the water shader in Steve's DX10 Fixer.  Excellent water animation.

 

Don't know if you have AS2012.  If you do, you might want to give it a shot.  I haven't gone through all the REX water yet, but from the ones I tried, I wasn't satisfied.

Thanks for all your answers!

I just restored the default FSX textures, and combined with Steven´s DX10 water shaders, the water actually looks pretty nice now. I just bought REX 4 Texture Direct, maybe I´ll give These water textures a try anytime soon.
