October 11, 20178 yr Hi I notice that I miss runaway lights with DX10 on EDDM from Taxi2gate. If I put Legacy slider to the full left, I have lights. Not sure if I had this before. What can cause this behavior? Can I have some negative results with other scenaries if I leave legacy slider full left. Last time we discuss similar behavior with Aerosoft LSZH but this is solved with last Dx10Fixer version. Thanks D.
October 11, 20178 yr Commercial Member The manual does try to explain. For legacy scenery that doesn't use the FSX SDK the FSX DX10 engine discards information from the model that is necessary to draw things correctly. The fixer uses a set of rules to try and guess what the missing information might have been - however these rules can never be 100% accurate as information has been lost. In the balanced position with the V2 option selected it is very good and can draw the vast majority of legacy scenery and aircraft to people's satisfaction. But occasionally there is an exception such as this. The slider allows you to change the rules but it may well cause issues with other legacy sceneries or aircraft built with the FS8 SDK. The best solution is to create a profile for flying to EDDM and try to avoid flying there from other sceneries that are adversely effected by the setting. For other flights use a balanced profile.

October 12, 20178 yr Author Thanks Steve. I will create profile for EDDM. Can somebody confirm who have T2G EDDM same behaviour? It looks like I see lights. But they are greyed. https://ibb.co/fTis1G I'm not 100% sure that fault is because Dx10. BRGDS D.
October 12, 20178 yr Commercial Member Try enabling missing texture alert? Sorry I don't have that airport to test. My FSX Analysis Blog
October 14, 20178 yr Author Hi Steve. Notice the same problems with Aerosoft Frankfurt V2. No runway lights. When legacy slider full to the left, runway lights appeared. Is it possible that something is corrupted? Can halo.bmp cause this. Thanks D.
October 14, 20178 yr Commercial Member Do you have the v2 options ticked and the various other fixes in legacy? Have you altered bgd.bmp? try uninstalling the fixer and reinstalling My FSX Analysis Blog
October 14, 20178 yr Author Hi Steve. I have V2 options ticked in the legacy. Only Legacy ac self shadow and force shadow is unticked. I reinstalled Fixer and cloud shadows. Nothing changed. I see the lights on runway but they are greyed (I see shapes but without light, don't know how to explain better). Like everything on runway (lights) is dimmed. Other lights are bright (taxiway)
October 15, 20178 yr Author Hi Steve. What is bgd.bmp? You mentioned that file in your previous post. It is possible that something is changed and I'm not aware of that. I installed Simstarter NG few days ago, but didn't changed anything except scenery complexity. Thanks D. P.S. Picture : https://ibb.co/e84jYw
October 15, 20178 yr Author Hi Steve. Lights returned (EDDF and EDDM) after I disable V2.0 Transparency Logic with Balanced settings. What can cause issues when V2.0 Transparency Logic is enabled. Thanks
October 15, 20178 yr Commercial Member Well as per above nothing is 100% - V2.0 transparency is a rule that mostly improves things. Do you have the Oslo and Zurich fixes ticked? My FSX Analysis Blog
October 16, 20178 yr Commercial Member I have purchased Frankfurt to look into it, but I suspect it may not be generically fixable My FSX Analysis Blog
October 16, 20178 yr Commercial Member Try disabling the Zurich fix in the legacy dialog and report back. My FSX Analysis Blog
