June 22, 20178 yr Hi, I see in many video's moving sunlight in the cockpit...as the acft turns, descends etc. I do not have this in my cockpits, how to I enable this feature? Or do I need an add-on program? Please advise thank you.

Look for Steve's DX10 Fixer. It is payware. But it has many tweaking options to make your sim more accurate.

There simply are some tools that can help the simulation experience.

June 22, 20178 yr Technically Jim's right, but DX10 Preview is a little broken and you may have other issues depending upon what aircraft and scenery you're using.

June 24, 20178 yr Author Thanks for the replies...but I'd still like to have this feature. I see a fair amount of Utube video's with this feature and it seems to work well....at least in those video's. So, if others are able to run it what did they do to enable / run it? Thanks, Seehunt
June 24, 20178 yr Administrators Here comes a question out of sheer curiosity...are you actually trying to describe "cockpit shadows" when you say sun in the cockpit? Try this link for answers. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php/89368-How-to-turn-on-cockpit-shadows Charlie AronAVSIM Board of Directors-ADMIN/Moderator-RegistrarJust going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer.

June 25, 20178 yr if you want to get accurate and good quality shadows (in vc or cloud shadows), need steve's fixer addon. fsx dx10 preview default vc shadows are absolute rubbish.

June 26, 20178 yr If you want cockpit shadows then, as already stated, you need to run in DX10 mode. Doing this alone will probably work but is likely to produce many DX10-related scenery and texture problems which Microsoft did not get around to fixing (flashing scenery, missing textures, missing bridges at night etc) - see https://stevesfsxanalysis.wordpress.com/features/. Steve's DX10 Scenery Fixer fixes these problems and adds a lot of options to DX10 mode. Additionally, you can add cloud shadows on the ground with an extra add-on which works in conjunction with the Fixer. Well worth the money for both. i7-14700k | Asus ROG STRIX Z790-F Gaming WIFI | 32GB DDR5 RAM | MSI RTX 4080 Super | WD Black SN850X 1TB & 2TB | Corsair HX1000i ATX3.0 | MSI MAG401QR 40" monitor | Win 11 Pro 64-bit | Meta Quest 3
June 28, 20178 yr Actually adding the line "ForceVCShadowMap=1" under [Display] in the FsX.cfg will enable virtually any FsX native aircraft to show vc shadows in Dx10. Oh and Dx10 without Steve's fixer is a waste of time, with it, it is superb. SOH Staff
