June 30, 20169 yr I am an 3D Vision user and am having an issue with disabling the PAPI and beacon lights when running in DX10. In a nutshell, the textures for these lights render in 2D and thus appear at screen depth when using 3D glasses. There is a known fix that I used for DX9 that renamed the halo.bmp (in the texture subfolder) and fx_2.bmp (in the effects/texture folder). This removes all runway and beacon lights; which is fine as I'm just flying in the daytime when using 3D. However, due to a myriad of DX9 problems, I want to run in DX10. However, when I switch to DX10 Preview, FSX seems to substitute some weird looking texture instead of just leaving it "blank" like DX9 mode does. I've attached a picture and you can see the odd red texture; it even looks like there is part of the FSX logo in the texture. Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks!

June 30, 20169 yr In DX10 Mode, when FSX can't find a texture it replaces that texture with one named bkg.bmp which you can find in the root FSX folder. The default texture is a 24 bit image, you might try replacing it with a solid black image with a solid black Alpha channel. This may show up as fully transparent, though I have not tested it. I did replace that image with one more,....entertaining which makes for interesting times when FSX is slow to load textures. regards, Joe The best gift you can give your children is your time.
