A little followup to my previous post. I have managed to get things more or less working by not using any of the SweetFX profiles I could find anywhere, none of them give decent graphics (and I've tried about a dozen of them). Instead I used the SweetFX configurator program and made changes myself. Using this I came to realize though that SweetFX is not for me. The margins to get things looking right are tiny. Differences between 0.85 and 0.87 on a scale of 0 to 8 for example make a huge difference. The main culprit for messing things up for me at first were mainly the bloom and hdr settings. I fiddled with these settings and can make the image either too dark, too light or just right but with 'candy' colors. I'm not a fan of the look at all. It's not a natural look. The ground looks alright, but the sky has clouds with blue in them or even cyan. When I finally had a preset that sortof looked alright, I went to a different time of day and things were messed up again. Not even starting to talk about nights where everything's pitch black. I then wanted to make a screenshot and started Fraps (a screen capture program), which promptly removed all the effects from the screen. I think I'm going to leave it at that and just enjoy flying. Spent 4 days off trying to get things working. First dx9 and enb, now dx10 and sweetfx. I'm done with it. The dx10 default look is fine and decent scenery makes a huge difference. Shade doesn't seem to do anything either in dx10 mode for me. I guess I'll just have to wait for a proper dx11 flightsim, if that ever gets made.

Hi everyone, first time poster here. I'm having trouble getting fsx to run with dx10 enabled (because of the framerates being a lot better) with SweetFX The problem I'm having is that the resulting image SweetFX produces just looks awful, and I have no clue how to fix it. I tried fiddling with most settings but nothing improves it. I restarted with a clean fsx.cfg a couple of times and also tried the online fsx.cfg optimizer, which worked excellently when I was still running on dx9. All to no avail. I tried changing things in nvidia inspector, starting with a new clean slate every time I couldn't get it to work. The best image I can come up with with dx10 on and sweetfx and nvidia inspector looks like this. What's going wrong? I have a brand new pc with i7-3770K, 16gb memory and a oc'd Geforce GTX 670 Sig 2 On dx9 I can get it close to photo realistic but with low fps (15-24 on average) On dx10 I can get high framerates (30fps capped), but without filters the image looks dull dx10 with sweetfx drops fps to 18-20 again and produces the nightmare image you see below This is with the new beta injector for sweetfx. With regular 1.4 you get an added problem that the image becomes way overexposed and bright. WITH SWEETFX I'm almost inclined to give up and just go with the no-shaders, default dx10 look which looks like this with me and is preferable over the mess above. WITHOUT SWEETFX
