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.

Anything we should know about? A close-up of some trees: Dave.

I'm currently evaluating the DX10 Fixer, and have a problem that I haven't seen reported in any of the other posts yet. Using DX10 mode, the base of the Millenium Dome and every single tree in Horizon VFR London X scenery are flashing like Christmas Trees. I am including a screenshot, but of course you can't see the twinkling in a still picture. This doesn't happen in DX9, so I'm wondering if there is a cure? Dave.

Alan, I had my normal traffic settings, using MyTrafficX: Airline Traffic 11% General Aviation 11% Road Vehicles 20% Ships & Ferries 20% Leisure Boats 18% One other thing, I installed the scenery with the Hi-Res textures ..... presumably with the lower-res the performance would increase. Dave.

I bought this believing that it wouldn't work in DX9, but would be a good test for the DX10 Fixer when it is released. To my surprise, if you are sensible with your settings, it is perfectly flyable in DX9. Firstly, I removed all other scenery add-ons from the scenery.cfg, then reduced my LOD Radius to the default 4.5 (I usually run this at 9.0 for photo-sceneries). I then cleared all weather, but all other settings are pretty much maxed out. I found that I was getting 15-20 fps consistently, more in some locations. A few screenshots: I am not using cutting-edge hardware: i5 (Sandybridge) 2500K, overclocked to 4.6GHz GeForce GTX580, 1536MB Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB I did have occasional blue rectangles in the water, but hope that this will be cured with the DX10 Fixer. Dave.

The best reply so far :lol: Dave.

For anyone searching for the ultimate tweak for FSX, add these lines to your fsx.cfg: [RELIGION] God = Nick N. Devil = J.V. As always, dependent or your hardware, your mileage may vary so if this doesn't work for you, just reverse the entries. Dave.

You guys might be interested in taking a look at the Visual Flight forum: www.visualflight.co.uk/forums/forum.asp Under the VFR Flyers/Muliplayer section - we fly a lot in the UK, but not exclusively, and often fly in G.A. Dave.

These errors were not in the original source data, they were not present in Version 1.0 of the NextMap Ireland mesh. They were (inadvertently) introduced in Version 1.1 which, (according to the readme) "reworked the peak of Carrauntoohil to better conform to the real world" This is a case of poor workmanship, Carrauntoohi is not even close to either of these locations. Dave.

I am betting that the e-mail was inviting you to buy, not offering any other kind of service or support for existing faulty products. Anyone on the FSGenesis mailing list used to be bombarded by pleas from Justin for donations to help him through his personal crises. These have finally stopped, but he is now seeking customers for a new 'venture' where he will produce mesh for an airfield of your choice - you have to pay a 50% deposit and the balance when/if he produces the goods. However, try to get any support for errors in his existing meshes and he becomes very elusive. His forums have become unavailable and he does not respond to e-mails. I have outstanding issues with faults in his mesh for Ireland which he promised to look into back in March. Since then he has ignored all future communication despite the fact that I have notified him of a second error in the same product. High quality mesh adds to the realism of FSX, but trenches and spikes rather shatter the illusion here are a couple of screenshots to illustrate ...... This spike is higher than 20,000 feet: This trench extends for hundreds of miles: I cannot believe that anyone would try to continue in business if they are unwilling to support products that they have sold with such glaring faults, let alone start a new venture of a similar nature. I will never give Justin Thyme another penny of my money, and I urge you to use exreme caution if you do. Dave.

Chris I don't see your specs on here, but I'm surprised at that. I run the same settings on my secondary machine, which only has an i7 920 running at 4.0GHz, 6GB of RAM. and a GTX460 with 1024MB. Dave.
