Hi Patraeus Would be delighted if you would kindly share any module for the Black Box Airbus as I really enjoyed flying them but am unable to use them with my VRinsight MCP Thanks Bruce

Hi All Changed GPU to the new GTX780 gigabyte 3gb and the difference is awesome!!!

Hi Anthony I think that Nvidea is the way to go also. I am still without any tearing however and I dont know enough about computing to know whats different other than following what cvearl suggested. B

Hi All May be of interest use users of ATI cards that want to use Userpools=0 with DX10 but suffer with tearing and artifacts. I have just installed latest release of Radeon Pro and used suggested settings kindly provided here by cvearl http://forum.avsim.net/topic/421849-dx10-fixer-atiamd-aa-and-vsync-guide/ Fingers crossed but left FSX running for 8 hours with NGX ASN and night lighting......much to my suprise when I got back that there was NO tearing or weird object and good framerates!!!!

Hi Paul Thanks and have updated my profile I have yet to buy the nvidea card and am interested that they are not immune. I am enjoying good frame rates and graphics with my current set up when using userpools=0 but after about an hour fo flying .,,,,,,tearing and artifcats start again. Any advice gratefully received Sent you cfg file by e mail. Best wishes from a very wet and windy UK! Bruce

Hi GB Not sure is my answer. The main prob I have is tearing and artifacts and thought this was a GPU issue. Generally fps is not bad and want to avoid a re-install as my fsx is huge with my add ons!!]

Well after some considerable effort and help from the members here I have stabalised my graphics but have decided to buy nvidea card as had to go back to userpools=1 to avoid tearing. This was a flight to Cardiff over the weekend in grim weather thanks to ASN.

Thanks Paul BTW have got over your cold spell out there/

what does sweetfx do for dx10? does it increase the bloom effect

Hi Jewel I meant that with the mod 3 shader software there is an option to flush cach. I didnt do it prior to removal and my screens went black so had to re-install mod 3 (not install into fsx though) and then use the flush cache and all worked dandy

Hi All Just a short note to say that I have not only cured the tearing graphics but also sim is running smoother than before. Just completed a short night flight from Seville to Lisbon in CS 757 and it was a shear joy to fly. All add on sceneries worked and lights from UTX were splendid...see attached. Now when using DX9 changing BP to user pools=0 made a huge difference//......however in dx10 it caused tearing and artifacts. Also removed Bojos? shader 3.0 mod (forgot I had it installed drrrr!) and now Steve's fix works a treat. Remember to flush cache before removing it though or you get black screens. This is what is working for me in dX10. [bufferPools] RejectThreshold=131072 UsePools=1 PoolSize=200000000 Hope it helps Bruce

Hi Steve Thanks for that. I have looked and appears I have shader 3 mod installed from Bojote. How do I replace with the original?? Do I just uninstall it? Also I have bloom turned on but it does not look as impressive as it did in dx9 with enb series. Is that normal or can I adjust, I have yours set to max also. Many thanks Bruce

Thanks Alti will try the same

Hi Steve Yes it i greyed out thanks

Hi All I am loving DX10 but sadly also finding that I am getting spikes etc after about an hours flying. I am using AMD radeon HD7800 and the AMD phenom x6 1100t 3.3 processor. Ultimately I am happy to buy a new nvidi gtx card instead but will it be compatible with my processor?? In the interim is the answer just to reduce my settings in fsx? I am using steves fixer but oddly I dont have the water shader option as it is greyed out? here are some settings from my cfg: [bufferPools] RejectThreshold=131072 UsePools=0 PoolSize=200000000 IMAGE_QUALITY=0 LANDING_LIGHTS=1 NUM_LIGHTS=8 See_Self=1 TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=2048 TEXTURE_QUALITY=3 Text_Scroll=1 SHADER_CACHE_PRIMED_10=1693500672 SHADER_CACHE_PRIMED=1693500672 ProcSpeed=9051 PerfBucket=7 [JOBSCHEDULER] AffinityMask=62 TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=90 TextureMaxLoad=9 TransitionTime=4.000000 UPPER_FRAMERATE_LIMIT=0 WideViewAspect=True [TERRAIN] AUTOGEN_DENSITY=2 DETAIL_TEXTURE=1 LOD_RADIUS=4.500000 MESH_COMPLEXITY=80 MESH_RESOLUTION=22 SWAP_WAIT_TIMEOUT=10 TEXTURE_RESOLUTION=28 WATER_EFFECTS=4 TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_BUILDINGS_PER_CELL=937 TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_TREES_PER_CELL=1300 Thanks in advance Bruce

Hi all wondered if I should be getting a water shader option with Steve's dx10 fixer. Just updated to recent release but still no option.?? Bruce

Hi this is a screen shot of flight from Grenada to St Maartin and just avoiding some nasty CBs

Hi GB I have only been using the tv monitor recently and so do not think that is the problem. Oddly when I first boot up the pc the full screen option works like magic, its only when I close fsx and restart that smaller full screen re appears. I am enjoying the much faster fps!!!

Hi Gb I have a 42 inch tv monitor and a projector

Oh blimey .....any help gratefully received. Back to same problem on re booting PC of full screen not displaying full size and there being a delay again in changing modes. Removed all entries and just have this setting [DISPLAY.Device.AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series.0.0] Mode=1920x1080x32 Antialias=1 Anisotropic=1

There have been two revalatory events this year in my 20 yrs of fsx.....one is changing to DX10 and the other the deveolpment of LINDA for us mcp2 users. I am curious however, why does the change to full screen now happen in an instant oppsed to a lot of whurring and black screen in dx9?? And what does full screen do for dx10?

Interesting but it may be that part of my full screen problem was that I had windows set for extended screens as using projector.......

Makes sence and thanks Andy.

Paul I bought the commercial fix and all is ace. Complex aircraft - JFK - heavy snow clouds etc and averaged 18 fps with sliders maxed out apart from autogen at 50% and bloom and lens effect on.

I have an issue in that i dont always start my mcp2 before I start fsx and then when I switch it on it just freezes unles I use the vrinsight software?? Is this pilot error on my part?
