Acceleration & DX10 Preview so far, not so good here.

[sargeski 16]

Just finished installing Acceleration rebooted and started FSX. FSX works fine in DX9. Enabling the DX10 preview causes a 20% performance decrease and I cannot seem to get ASF or AA to work at all (enabled in game, disabled in game, enabled on video card, disabled on video card)........nothing but a shimmering world. Disable DX10 preview and use my previous settings and all is well. If anyone has any ideas, on how to solve this one I'm all ears.

Didnt notice a performance decrease here, but I cant get AA to work, either. No other complaints so far. I'm running an 8800GTS 640mb, NVIDIA 163.69.-Cory

The only place I notice jaggies is the cockpit shadowing, it looks terrible but I haven't really messed with the settings to correct it yet.

Nice system! I found one thing to reduce or stop shimmering in FSX was to set 'Texture filtering - Negative LOD bias' in your video card display settings to 'Clamp'. Secondly, I suggest you rename your FSX.cfg to FSX.old, and restart the sim and let the config rebuild. I recall reading somewhere where this worked for someone else who had just installed SP2/Acceleration. It makes sense to me to start off a new product like Acceleration with default settings then slowly begin your tweaking.Best regards,Jim

I've already rebuilt the config file and it has no effect.

Maybe the beta testers can help? Since the NDA was lifted none have reported these types of problems. What video cards and drivers are they using?Bob..

Direct x 10 preview.... Whatever happened to the direct x 10 makeover...

I have the same problem too. My frame rate went from 24 sitting at KSEA down to 3 after installing Acceleration and enabling DX10. I have a 8600GT OC 163.69 drivers. The jagged cockpit shadows look horrible.I also didn't have any water West of KSEA! I have Active Sky X Graphics installed, maybe that is causing problems? I need more time to play with things but this is definitely _not_ what I would have expected.Don

Hi All,We are around and we all had different hardware/combinations. It may be the drivers and it may take some experimenting to get things right. I can't comment because I run ATI under DX9.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Same problem here also.On the plus side, playing DX9 works though. Blurries are nonexistent now for me. I can literally fly 600 MPH...slow down and by the time the natural blur of going that fast calms down the textures are crisp. Pretty nice.It has to be the latest drivers problem. Hopefully a beta tester will ring in and let us know what they used. Guru3d.com will have all the old drivers, just gotta know which one.

I'm running Vista Ultimate 32. Can someone show me where to enable the DX10 preview? I can't seem to find it anywhere in the game setting or anywhere else. Thnx
