Care to check out my pics over at Orbx? In the thread "Oh, Man"? What do you see there? Yep, cloud shadows. In FSX DX10. OK - so it is provided by a third-party addon, but it is possible. And the HDR effect can be achieved as well... Non-popping autogen is something that I really have to concentrate on with a LOD-radius of 6.5. And all of that is stutter-free. Cheers Mallard

Hi Bill - sorry, I should have been more percise. I'm running FSX in DX10 mode. Cheers Mallard

Just flew extensively and for about an hour over the Isle of Man in Ant's Tiger Moth - and ferried the Aerosoft Twotter from Orbx Southampton over FTX England to the Scilly Isles. Both flights without any OOM or compability issues whatsoever. Great deals over at EarthSimulations! Brilliant scenery! Cheers Mallard

Hi Tristan, you are not having terrain elevation issues. Monterey is indeed on a kind of a plateau... Take a look at http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/79331-monterey-a-quick-look-under-the-hood/ Cheers Mallard

Hi Zaza, I alerted the mods over at Orbx to this thread. Cheers Mallard

Really appreciate that, Alan! Thanks a lot - I have V1 of this fine plane, but what with (for example) Jankees' great paints I really would like to give V2 a try. Cheers Mallard

Firefox, Chrome and IE. No luck. The plane really is nowhere else on the entire net? Cheers Mallard

Sorry - I didn't make myself clear. I can't register at all. The forum says I'm a spammer when I try to register - although I tried using mail addresses from Germany's two largest commercial mail providers where I have accounts... (and funnily enough one of these addresses was accepted without problems at sim-outhouse.net - but that doesn't help me any further) The SOH Admins simply aren't answering my attempts at contact. Four days of complete and utter silence. Cheers Mallard

Is the model exclusively found at sim outhouse? No matter what I do I can't register there - and there has been no answer from the Admins either through the "Contact Us" button or the direct mail address provided on their page for the last four days... Cheers Mallard

Those three and pcaviator. Those are the only four I have ever used for online shopping... Cheers Mallard

Interesting thread - I'm on my third Visa card in two weeks. Just a few days after my first and original card details were nicked my brand new replacemant card also came up with a transaction request from Nigeria and one from the UK. I only ever use the card for flightsim addons... A repeated sweep of my computer for malware, trojans and viruses came out negative - I'm beginning to wonder if the site of one of the major stores might be involuntarily compromised? Cheers Mallard

Yep - I had FSX running in DX10 after clearing the file, closed the sim, put all the SweetFX files back into the FSX folder and now it's working... Thanks again for the help Mallard

OK - so it was a left-over SweetFX file (dxgi). Deleted that and I'm back in the air - in crisp clarity. I thought SweetFX was DX10 compatible? Anyway - thanks a lot for the help and hints! Cheers Mallard

I originally had FXAA, but since that only workes up to DX9 I switched to SweetFX. No ENBs. I'll re-check that everything FXAA related is gone, but I'm pretty sure that that I got rid of it. I had the unzipped installation folder open and compared it with what was in the FSX folder. But something may have slipped through... Cheers Mallard

The cfg in the first post was a new one that I made this morning. I always have the highmem fix in it (along with the bufferpools) - except for the one here, obviously. After about the 10th or 12th complete new cfg rebuild that slipped through and I simply forgot to put it in again... Sorry. And as I mentioned before - I tried each and every screen resolution FSX has to offer. Under DX9 I was running the PMDG 737 and loads of other taxing planes (like the Super80 Pro), had tons of ORBX and other scenery with really heavy settings, REX at full blast with all the bells and whistles - and that took ages to set up so that everything was working as it should be. But obviously there is something - probably just one simple setting - which prevents all of that showing up in DX10 again... Cheers Mallard

No - got rid of that because I had problems with it some while back... Cheers Mallard

Hi Spirit, complete new cfg. No luck. Hi Michael, thanks for the tip. Un- and re-installed the fixer to the x86 (it was on my dedicated drive). No luck. I have only one monitor and tried about every resolution that is offered by fsx and - yes I did notice some differences from time to time. But mostly they were as they should be. Cheers Mallard

FSX is on its own drive. And the fix found it there. I have no problems switching between 9 and 10 either with the fix or the check button in FSX... I have tried both the default SHSL and the one found in the stickky post here in the forum. Cheers Mallard

Hi Forum, I'm simply at my wit's end after trying to get DX10 working for the past three days. Under DX9 everything was just peachy, but I was intrigued by what I have heard and seen about and with DX10. So I got Steve's Fixer, applied it, started up a flight and only got a black screen. Sound, the mouse and cockpit hotspots showed up - but nothing else. In the meantime I've "repaired" Acceleration, let the fsx.cfg rebuild itself, re-downloaded and installed my nvidia drivers (I currently have 320.18 running for my GTX580), set my graphics to the absolute minimums. Unchecked the shaders in the fix. Nothing. Black screen with the Trike at Friday Harbor every time. Now and then I switched back to DX9 and the normal view was there. Then back again via the fix to DX10 and into darkness... Let the cfg rebuild itself again and switched to and fro Here are some more system specs: i7 3770 @ 3,4 GHz, 8 GB DDR3 1600, Corsair H60 cooling, Samsung 840 Series 240 GB SSD dedicated to FSX, Gainward GTX 580 1,5 GB, Win 7 64 Bit, Saitek X52 Pro, TrackIR 5 I did have FXAA running under DX9, but I cleared out those files from the FSX folder. Any hints (except for a complete re-install of FSX) ^_^ would be greatly appreciated.
