Is the desktop icon pointing to the location of your current install of the program? Right-click on the icon, select 'Properties', and make sure that the target is correct. Dave.

Perhaps Top Gear can return to the days when it was a program the man-in-the-street would watch to help choose his next car. Not everyone wanted it to become 'Men Behaving Badly' without the humour, but with access to ridiculous motors. Dave. Cue flames .........

If DTG do not offer reasonable terms to 3rd party developers, those developers can still sell their wares to users on the various other platforms as they do currently. The loser in that scenario will be DTG ..... users require a constant stream of quality add-ons - if that isn't available on a forthcoming new simulator, they will vote with their wallets. Dave.

Smirnoff make the best vodka. Merry Christmas to everyone, Dave.

Kevin, The title of this thread is FSX SE has ............. Pray enlighten us what is the point of YOUR post if you are extolling the virtues of P3D over tMicrosoft FSX boxed ...... silly me for thinking you were talking about the product that was the subject of the O.P. Dave.

That's a pretty safe bet Kevin, considering : The beauty of forums is how we can all make claims and statements about the software/hardware that we aren't using, Dave.

That is simply untrue. I have conducted tests in several scenarios rebooting the computer after each test. In every case, the same flight in DX10 used less VAS than in DX9. I received exactly the same outcome on both of my computers, and this is the main reason that I use DX10 exclusively on both of them now. Dave.

Hi Chris, To be honest, the superior VAS management would be enough reason to use the DX10 Fixer alone. As for water, what do you call bland? Is this bland: Dave.

I have never used P3D, so I can't actually answer the original question, but I can share my personal experience of DX10. The computer that I use to fly online with has an i7 4770K overclocked to 4.3GHz paired with a GTX780 factory-Superclocked. I primarily use photo sceneries, LOD at 9.00 with most settings at max except Water at 2xLow, frames locked internally at 30. With DX10 the performance is excellent, and I don't spend my life tweaking. The icing on the cake is that I get almost identical results using DX10 on my development machine ..... i5 2500K @ 4.6GHz and GTX580 I use Scenery Config Editor to load only the sceneries that I need for a flight and OOM's are virtually non-existent now. If there is a down-side, I have various problems with airfield lighting - some of these may well be fixable by experimentation, or possibly enhancements to the DX10 Fixer. In the scheme of things they are very minor. DX10 is like a new simulator for me ..... thanks Steve for all your work :clapping: Dave.

I have the same problem - the X52 Pro MFD refuses to communicate with FSX, and all those functions are lost. This is on my new computer .... if I plug the X52 Pro into my old computer, everything works. I have read that the problem could be caused by USB 3, but uninstalling everything Saitek and a reinstall using a USB 2 port did not fix it. Dave.

Jim, Please edit your post, which is totally incorrect. All UK2000 Extreme airports are made for FSX - there are, however, also versions available for those who are still using FS9. Denis, Have you compared DX9 and DX10 with exactly the same scenario? My results are not the same as yours. In these screenshots, DX10 is reasonably steady at 19 to 20 fps whereas DX9 struggles to maintain around 19 and keeps dropping to nearer 10 fps On my system, Heathrow is almost the only area where I can induce an OOM if my settings are too high. Reasons are not hard to find .... in the vicinity I also have Gatwick Extreme, London City Extreme, VFR London X, Generation X hi-res photo scenery. Add to this MyTrafficX generating A.I., Active Sky generating weather, REX generating hi-res clouds, with a LOD radius of 9.0 and most settings maxed out ....... to be honest, it's a wonder that I can get any frames at all at Heathrow. Dave.

Hi Steve, That sounds disappointing - I could remove all of the trees, but the Dome would still look ridiculous. I don't believe there is a demo of the scenery. Dave.

This topic seems to have been forgotten about, but is not yet resolved. Perhaps an Admin could move it to the new forum for DX10 Fixer, please? Dave.

Paul, It is black ..... I notice that I also have a file called bkg.ORIG Dave.
