I know this is an old topic, but I have been having the same issue for the past three days after a fresh reinstall of windows 10. I was also convinced it was Fs2crew as whenever I would do a flight I would not get any CTD. I also had stable 50FPS and not many addons (p3dV4 with fslabs A320). Finally I figured out the issue, I was setting up spech recognition and realized that whenever I speak all of a sudden, the program/window closes or crashes. Also the quality of training was horrible, it never captures what I say and have to repeat each sentence 3 times. Also, I realized the CTD (Api.dll) crash would happen when I gave the PM a command with my "Assertive Pilot Tone" 😂 So I went to check the driver from device manager but it was saying everything was up to date, until I went to to the Asus Driver website (MAximus Hero VII), and realized that the correct driver wasn't installed for the Audio, once installed, I got the Asus SupremeFX and sonic radar program, I replugeed my headset but this time chose the mic as "Line" and bam, did speech recongition and voice training with no issues and did a flight. Smooth like butter! I wanted to share for anyone who is suffering! Will report any more CTD soon related to this issue.

Thanks John, so what do I have to do? I just don't like seeing dark and bright patches on the plane surface :(

Hey does this help out with the glossiness of the PMDG paint at night? Because I'm having issues but don't know if this can fix it.

@Charliearon, it's more of the aircraft exterior texture and runway rather than the lights. Is there anything i can add to fix that?

Hello, I have perfect day textures but my night ones are glossy and a bit blurry. Is there any setting in Nvidia or FSX that I can do set to fix this. I have everything on 32 bit.

I advise you check this video. Followed most of his tips including using DX10 with Steve's fixer. : https://youtu.be/wSrObxJaJD8 Screenshots: http://i.imgur.com/DvdwFIT.png http://i.imgur.com/BDsc847.png Also note that these settings might not work for you because I'm using a Titan X. But I guess you can play around to find something that works for you. Just save the default Nvidia Inspector profile as back up and the FSX CFG.

I highly recommend you don't waste your money. I had a ROG Asus G75VX (1600 Euros), was running FSX with low graphics settings although it's supposed to be a beast. I suggest you invest in a better desktop

I honestly think it's FPS limiters and Nvidia settings. When I had FPS limited 30 and Vync on 1/2 refresh rate, 3 pre-rendered frames I was getting stutters. I change it to unlimited, Vync force on and prerendered to 8, then my FPS went upto 40 steady... My advice is to first do the FSX settings to whatever you like then play around with FSX CFG and Nvidia settings .. Also there is no need for 4096, 2048 is still HD

I agree with airernie, get a processor that you can overclock. Also it's very hard to get a system that can slay FSX! I just built a computer a month ago and after a very intensive research below are great spec if you have the cash. Processor: Intel 4790K Processor Cores: Quad Processor Speed: 4.7 OC Stable (highest in game 2nd core 70 degrees) PSU: 1.2 Corsair AX Case: Corsair 780T White RAM: 16 @2400 (Hyper Beast X) Nvidia: Titan X - Video Memory: 12GB Mother Board: Asus Maximus Hero VII Hard Drives: x2 HDD (2TB) x2 Samsung SSD (256GB) - FSX and OS on SSD Operating System: Windows 7 64 Pro CPU Cooling: Corsair Liquid Cooling H100i GTX FSX SE FPS with PMDG 777 GROUND : 35 TO 40 AIR: 55 TO 60 Demo: (Texture loss and blurriness is cause by my windows movie maker and Youtube)

Hi Guys, I wanna thank you all for the tips. I think I finally reached a point where I can sleep better at night. Here is the final result: https://youtu.be/soonphDfvdk I lost texture and some blurriness because of the video editor and shadow play I guess, but overall I am getting smooth FPS 40 on ground with scenery and 60 in air even with dense clouds. Merci beaucoup all!

Hi All, I have an Intel 4790K Clocked to 4.7, and a Nvidia Titan X GPU. Running FSX SE on DX10 Which bufferpools settings should I use, currently It looks like this but I am pretty sure thats wrong. Can someone show me how it should look like in my CFG? [bufferPools] PoolSize=0 [GRAPHICS] SHADER_CACHE_PRIMED_10=1693751040 SHADER_CACHE_PRIMED=1693750528 TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=2048 NUM_LIGHTS=8 AIRCRAFT_SHADOWS=0 AIRCRAFT_REFLECTIONS=1 COCKPIT_HIGH_LOD=0 LANDING_LIGHTS=1 AC_SELF_SHADOW=0 EFFECTS_QUALITY=2 GROUND_SHADOWS=0 TEXTURE_QUALITY=3 IMAGE_QUALITY=0 See_Self=1 Text_Scroll=1 HighMemFix=1 D3D10=1

Thanks AnKh, I dropped him a message, let's see what he says! :smile: http://www.avsim.com/topic/473871-dx10-fixer-for-woai/

Hi Steve, I was asking the guys in the FSX SE section about this and they told me to ask you. Honestly, this might be to complex to answer here, why not asking Steve directly in his sub-forum here on avsim? Simply open a thread over there an ask specific questions, for example "will the DX10 fixer allow all WOAI models to be used?". I am pretty sure that you will get a definite answer pretty fast from Steve. I read some where that the WOAI AI Model Packs don't work with DX10 (Texture issues). To be honest, I never used to use DX10 until recently when I installed FSX SE, then I gave it shot. For FSinn, I want to expand the library and previously used WOAI and UT2. Now I only have UT2 and want to get either WOAI/IVAO but unsure if there will be issues with DX10. Can the DX10 fixer fix the issues for WOAI if they come up?

I am very technical so I don't know what FSX Native is. What I am trying to say is that I read somewhere that WOAI Models aren't compatible with DX10. I am assuming it's issues with textures. I am running DX10 without* any fixes, using FSX SE. So If I understand what you're saying is that IVAO/WOAI work perfectly with DX10 FSX SE, I just need to run Steve's DX 10 Fix? Thanks!

Hi Guys, Quick Q, tried looking online but couldn't find an answer. I am looking for AI Models for FSINN that are compatible with DX10 (preferably freeware), I know that WOAI isn't compatible but is IVAO Compatiable? I am currently running UT2 and it works with both but I need to expand my librairy. Appreciate the feedback.
