Thinking about trying out DX10

[computerflyer 6]

Why FSX with Steve's DX10 Fixer instead of P3D?  FSX/DX10 is now running very smoothly for me, with great effects like vc shadows and fantastic water, and it never crashes - incredibly stable.  I don't see how P3D offers much more, and I have a lot of planes and photoscenery that won't work with P3D.

P3D is very promising and is probably the future, but it still has many problems to get fixed. FSX is bulging at the seams and is about to burst with all the addons. DX10 is a good interim stop while other things get sorted out.

Thanks for all the advice guys, I will read the document you mentioned and give it a try , I have 2 copies of FSX on 2 different PCs, does anyone know if I can install the fixer onto both of my machines?

Is that really true? I am experiencing oom problems caused by using pmdg, ftx, fs global, as next, rex , etc. If that's true, dx10 is the cure for all my pain...

 

I'm a recent switcher and just tested a flight that ALWAYS gave me an OOM in DX9.....EGLL to KIAD with the PMDG 772.  Also using FTX Global/Vector, REX 4 and FLightbeam KIAD.  I landed and got to gate with VAS at about 550 so no OOM for the first time!  I would normally get the OOM 'ding' after touchdown.

I switched dx10 and made tweaks for nvi and cfg but i have problem with blurry textures. No matter i've done, i couldn't fix it. What should i do?

Did you apply any tweaks to your cfg while you were still using DX9?  If you didn't delete the cfg file and let FSX build a new one, you'll be in DX10 with DX9 tweaks.

DX10, imo, work best with no tweaks other than the highmemfix=1.

[yildirim1642 0]

I did delete cfg and tweaked the new cfg, but I added bufferpools=0, changed lod_radius, fiber time fraction, texture bandwidth mult, etc. if I leave them unchanged, put only highmemfix, would textures be better?

[Groovin_DC-10 50]

Not sure, but you can give it a try.  Just remember to write down the values you've changed before deleting the cfg, and edit them back in if you don't like the result.

 

I know DX10 handles autogen differently, so what worked well in DX9 may not necessarily be better in DX10.  There used to be a guy in the DX10 forum name PaulJ who was an expert in DX10.  I remember him mentioning something about not messing with the cfg.  You can do a search for his posts.  There are a lot of DX10 info there. 

I'm still playing around a bit with in game settings and I can have things set pretty high and still get smooth performance.  DX10 is definitely a great update for FSX.

I have tried resetting everything, fsx cfg, nvidia inspector, dx10 fixer but my problem isn't gone. Here is contains of cfg file, i hope it helps.
