Do you support DX10 fixer or not ?

[TerryT 0]

I am wondering why, after I have spent £20 purchasing the DX10 fixer, I can't get as much as a quick reply from you who profit from the sale.

 

One example  :-

Example number 2 :-

http://forum.avsim.net/topic/460913-r9-200-series-gpu-and-the-dx10-fixer-query/

 

It is really so difficult for you to answer these questions ? Or is it a case of "Now he has paid we are not interested" ?

 

I notice you are answering some peoples threads so I know your alive.

This is very disappointing and not a good reflection of the supposed 'support forum'.

 

Yes, I have read the manual. Is it unreasonable to ask if you would cast an eye over my FSX.cfg when I have spent £20 to purchase your product ?

Plus, I have the issue with fog really slowing down my system.

So  you want Steve to reply  to your requests within minutes of you postings  yours, in the first example you gave you posted it yesterday and the second  today. So how fast do you want steve to reply  to your posts?

He must think Steve has a magic wand

Well the first question was 8:00am yesterday.

The other on the 29th at 9pm.

Now if you read down the list he has answered other people between those times. So I am sure he could have at least acknowledged my questions ?

It does say this is a support forum. I have paid my money so surely I could get at least a reply.

 

Are you his parents ? lol

Terry, What do you have AA set to in the DX10 Fixer ?

My graphics section in the FSX.cfg has the following lines, yours seems to be missing the second one. DX10 Fixer should have written them for you with the appropriate values fiiled in

 

[Graphics]
MultiSamplesPerPixel=xxx
MultiSampleQuality=xxx

Are you his parents ? lol

No we are just more patient  than you are :smile:

[SteveFx 258]

I posted twice in one of the threads answering your questions.

 

The other thread doesn't contain a question about DX10 Scenery Fixer but a request for anyone to check your fsx.cfg file for you.

 

I glanced at it, there was nothing obviously wrong so I left it to someone who might have more of an opinion to post on. I don't specialise in tweaking fsx in either dx9 or dx10 and you didn't seem to have a problem.

 

The best thing to do is to download and read the guide on tuning DX10 from NZFSSIM.

Those damn ATI graphics cards.... The day I moved Geeforce, it was all so much cooler, softer, easier, smooth... And trouble-free ...

I did say that in fog my system slowed right down. Never happend before DX10 so I asked if you had any advice or ideas ?

This is also why I posted my FSX.cfg - to see if there was anything obviously wrong in there.

 

No we are just more patient  than you are :smile:

 

2 days is patient enough when wanting to fly.

 

Hi Glynn,

I have it set in FSX as Antialiasing 'ticked'

And filering = Anisotropic (As per the user manual)

 

The lines are there in the FSX.cfg

 

[GRAPHICS]
SHADER_CACHE_PRIMED_10=1693500672
SHADER_CACHE_PRIMED=1693500672
D3D10=1
TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=2048
NUM_LIGHTS=8
AIRCRAFT_SHADOWS=1
AIRCRAFT_REFLECTIONS=1
COCKPIT_HIGH_LOD=1
LANDING_LIGHTS=1
AC_SELF_SHADOW=1
EFFECTS_QUALITY=2
GROUND_SHADOWS=0
TEXTURE_QUALITY=3
IMAGE_QUALITY=0
See_Self=1
Text_Scroll=0
HIGHMEMFIX=1
ForceFullScreenVSync=1
ForceWindowedVSync=1
ALLOW_SHADER_30=1
MultiSampleQuality=8
MultiSamplesPerPixel=4

 

But I have now placed them together thats all.

 

Steve - ok I wil go had a read. I just expected a bit of support is all. I am sure there is a reason I lose lots of FPS in fog now.

[SteveFx 258]

You posted a very brief question about fog to the end of a thread which I had already read and checked as a non product issue as it was just a request for general fsx tuning advice...

 

In terms of fog there is no reason I can suggest why dx10 would be slower than dx9 - fog is implemented as a trivial calculation in the shader.

 

Uninstall the libraries and repeat the test to see if native DX10 behaves the same

 

Then test the same approach without any fog to see if the fog actually makes a difference or there is an issue with the airport or the AI level.

 

You might then want to try with vsync disabled

 

Then repeat in DX9.

In your initial post, containing your entire FSX.cfg, I see one possible "red flag". In the [main] section your processor speed is listed as 7532. That number is not an actual configuration option, but simply an estimate (by FSX) of your CPU processing speed, which is added to the config file the first time FSX is run in a new installation, or whenever FSX.cfg is rebuilt.

 

7532 is not a very high estimate of CPU speed by modern standards. By comparison, the 3-year-old Sandy Bridge I7 2600K in my computer, running at a 4.0 GHz overclock, gives a proc speed rating of over 14,000 in my config file.

 

This MAY indicate that your AMD A10 CPU is a performance bottleneck on your system. I'm not at all familiar with AMD products, and am not sure what kind of performance your CPU can or should offer, but it may be holding you back in terms of FSX graphics performance in heavy clouds or fog.

Thank you for that Steve I shall do some testing.

 

Hi Jim,

Thanks for that - honestly I had never even noticed it. It is an AMD A10-6800k APU with Radeon HD Graphics. 4.10GHz.

(This is what Windows 7 reports it as)

 

The A10-6800K is a 4.1GHz part with a 4.4GHz Turbo Mode and a GPU clocked at 844MHz according to the bumf.

They are quad core I am certain.

 

I am not really sure what value should be in FSX.cfg but I shall have a sniff about the internet and see what I can find.

Steve's dx10 fixer and my NVIDIA Cards are the perfect marriage.  Steve also replies to emails in a normal time frame.....check your spam folder

Well I can't really see anything that indicated what that proc speed should show in the FSX.cfg. (If indeed it is incorrect)

I think it is a value which FSX writes to the config the first time FSX is run. I have never touched that value but have tweaked the other settings in the FSX.cfg obviously.

 

If anyone is using a AMD A10-6800k APU with Radeon HD Graphics. 4.10GHz. could you note what the proc speed is set at in your FSX.cfg

and post it in this thread for me please.

 

Cheers.

Why would I check my spam folder when Steve and everyone else replies on here ?

Which makes perfect sense as then others can read and perhaps relate to the issue at some point.

[JRBarrett 3,034]

I don't know how accurate the proc speed rating actually is, or how FSX calculates it. It may not be significant - but it was the only thing I noted in your config that stood out.
