Okay - I've looked around for this but I just don't know how to describe this problem effectively. Texture "flickering" isn't quite the word I'm looking for, as when I Google this, I get a completely different issue.I'll just describe it. Sometimes, when using FSX in DX10 mode (and more rarely, but it DOES happen, in DX9 as well), textures don't load correctly. In their place, I get either a placeholder texture or an FSX splash screen - not sure quite how to describe it. This happens much more frequently when using third party addon planes, and three in particular; Thomas Ruth's Airbus A300, his Airbus A330, and Captain Sim's 757 Captain (all DX10 compliant planes, I'm sure you know). This issue affects not just the aircraft, but most noticeably the ground textures. This issue does resolve itself, but when panning the view, the textures flicker in and out as the textures load and unload from memory.For anyone still lost, I've included a screenshot while using the CS 757. Also note the affected AI planes in the top right corner. I'm thinking this could be an issue with the way I have my fsx.cfg configured.....Can anyone help out a fellow simmer?(inb4 "use DX9." nah I'm good. If I wanted that, I'd have stuck to FS9.)And the all important: my system specs.CPU: AMD Phenom 2 X6 1055T (2.8GHz x 6 cores)Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7RAM: 4Gb 1366MHz DDR3 (possibly a problem?)GPU: XFX Radeon HD5770 1Gb model (latest drivers and CCC installed)OS: Windows Vista Ultimate x64 sp2 (I'll be honest, not my smartest decision. Looking at 7 x64 within a few months.)FS version: FSX + Acceleration + all the service packs.

It appears to be a frequently asked issue with DirectX 10 (under) Preview mode and older aircraft's models, but still no cure. Besides, of course, a payware add-on called "Addon Converter X" for FSX, which does fix the problem by converting textures 'on fly'. So, if this add-on can convert textures dynamically, I wander how we can do it by another way (say statically)?I've tried ImageTool from Acceleration Pack SDK without any success (converting DXT3 BMPs to DXT5 DDS). Does anyone have a working solution for this issue?PSnot going switch back to DX9 because of significant frame-rate loss on my system.

Hi, I purchased DX10 fixer this week and have taken the leap to DX10. Already seeing a much more stable simulator and a slight performance boost. The fixer does seem to be working as it's fixed a number of issues with AI aircraft textures. But, I'm having a problem with night lighting poles, which are displaying as black boxes during the day. I understand this is a known transparency issue with DX10. I think the lighting in question is coming with ORBX FTX Global or Vector (I have both installed), as it seems to occur all over the world. Switching to DX9 puts everything back to normal again. I've read both the manual that came with the fixer and searched on both this and ORBX forums and see that the fixer is supposed to repair this issue at installation. I've tried removing the libraries and re-downloading them, and then also completely uninstalling and reinstalling DX10 fixer. But the problem still persists. I'm at a loss as to what to do next - any ideas? Thanks, Dominic

Hi all! I bought Steve FX DX10 Scenery Fixer and i got a very big water problem. Its hard to explain but i\ll link some screenshots. Im using Rex4 Texture direct with DX10 settings enabled. Look here: http://gyazo.com/0b7db56faf026c533ed71ab78ad0d00b http://gyazo.com/6d6d2ff94e88d8375737fc1e05c3435c *I havent also got the "Water optionn" in DX10 look: http://gyazo.com/cd3ff0c583d4b5d3572d5929a7b6b57c Thanks for the help! /Jacob

Hi again folks, I bought and installed DX10 Fixer. Everything sure looks good In CCC Catalyst Control Center setup a FSX profile where AA is overide application settings. AA samples at 4eQ, and AA supersampling. (As per chapter 6 of the docs) I have set up the FSX display settings as per chapter 5 of the docs. (Filtering Anisotropic and Anti Aliasing ticked) I wonder if you could cast an eye on my FSX.cfg (Below) and tell me if there is anything in it I don't need or should not have. I run a A10 CPU and a R9 200 Series GPU rig. My FSX.cfg may contain things I may not need now as I tweaked it in the past. (Removed all the irrelivent stuff for posting it here.

Hiya folks, Have recently come back to FSX and put my trusty sword away for a while. I got myself a decent system last year (well late 2013) - AMD A10 Quad core and Radeon R9 200 series GPU. All the other usual ingredients. I would like to use the DX10 preview settings and with that in mind I am really considering buying Steves DX10 fixer. I do have Acceleration installed. One question is would I still need to set up a profile etc in Radeon Pro, or does the Catalyst Control Center replace it. Or are they different animals altogether. Next question - with this CPU, and GPU should the DX10 feature be a good improvement graphically and frames per second wise ? Or not worth the hassle. Any help or advice gratefully recieved. Thank you. Terry

Hello. Let me start with my system settings. HP Pavilion g4-2064la Intel Core i3 @ 2,3GHz 4Gb RAM Intel HD Graphics 3000 (integrated) ATI Radeon HD 7670M (dedicated) - Switchable graphics FSX with SP1 and SP2 I've forever used FSX in DX9 mode, but recently wanted to try DX10 and see how it works. Even though the FPS have never been so good in my computer and I have applied the fixes, antialiasing is terribly bad. I have already applied the MultiSamplesPerPixel=4 in the fsx.CFG [GRAPHICS] section and the "Use application settings" in RadeonPro's AA options (I also selected Multisampling (Box)). Anyway, the AA should work, but it does not function very well. I also get a black full-screen view, but I can see everything if FSX is running in windowed mode. Thanks for your help. I suppose I should start by letting FSX build a new fsx.CFG file, shouldn't I?

Hello, I've noticed some FPS problems with the newest fixer e.g. when I fly with the Aerosoft Airbus. The problem are the shadows in the VC. Can someone tell me how to get better frames with shadows in the VC? -Sweetfx; NI for my GTX560; REX4; ASN Cheers

Hi Guys! I use my sim with Steve's fixer and all is good. I really love russian planes. I tries the SCS Tupolev FSX portover and looks good and works fine, but when the weather was turning worse and starting rain the cockpit glass started flashing and turned black or blue. When I turned off the OpusFSX and set the weather clear, all was good again. First I think that was the fog, but I tested some weather situations. So that only happens when raining. I really want to find the solution! Does Anyone has the same issue? Sorry for my really "interesting" English.

Hi Steve, may be there is a log file existing, where all DX10 inputs/entries/settings into the controller are listed in a condensated form, unfortunately I haven´t found it in the DX10 fixer location in C/. If it does not yet exist this might be usefull for communication from customer to the developer in case of prob description and quicker solving. Wulf

HELLO GUYS, I AM USING FSX, AND I HAVE TRIED TO MAKE SOME SHADOWS IN THE COCKPIT. SO I HAVE TURNED ON THE DX10 IN THE SIM.(THAS WHAT I HAVE HEARD THAT I SHOULD DO), AND I HAVE WRITTEN THIS: ForceVCShadowMap=1 UNDER [Display] IN THE FSX.CFG. SO NOW, THE SHADOWS IN THE COCKPIT ARE WORKING, BUT: 1. WHEN I AM CHOOSING AN AIRCRAFT IN THE SIM, THE AA LOOKS VERY LOW. PIC- http://prntscr.com/6tbxta 2. IN THE FLIGHT ITSELF, THE AIRCRAFT AA IS OK. BUT THE SHADOWS IN THE COCKPIT LOOKS BAD. PIC - http://prntscr.com/6tbxao MY FSX SETT- http://prntscr.com/6tby85 I WOULD LIKE TO SOLVE THOSE PROBLEMS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! ((SORRY FOR THE POOR ENGLISH)). THX!

Hey guys, sorry if that is old stuff, but i was wondering i am the only one experiencing some strange behaviour of the wakes behind AI ships?! I am using the fabulous AI Ships and Traffic packs to have some nice boat traffic around the globe. All these ships have a wake effect behind, but when i am flying high or watch out the cockpit to a ship in the distance, the wake effects show some kind of flickering. It seems to be some sort of z-fighting?! When i do low flybys, the effects are ok. I have the standard FSX wave animation, and as the effects don't flicker when beeing close to it, i don't think it's an issue with the effects or the textures themselves. And it seems to be the same with the standard boat traffic, so the problem might be a DX10 thing? Is it a well known poblem? I did some search, but without any results. Can it be fixed? Matthias

Hi all, The windows of my POSKY 777 VC's is no longer transparent. The glass is colored blue and I can't see through it. I used to have this working so I believe this could be because I recently switched to DX10. I'm using DX10SceneryFixer. Could this be related to DX10SceneryFixer? Does anyone have a suggestion to fix this? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello guys, I came to this forum without any knowledge about DX10 looking for help and after some tweaks and topic discussion with some members of this forum related with DX10 and Windows 8.1 this is the result so far for a series of tweak's and test on FSX! So far my system is running very soft, no crashes, i got really good performance and very good graphics quality. As you guys can see for weather i'm not 100% familiarized with the correct setting to make my engines run more clouds and more turbulence, something that i would like to catch for more realism proposite, my weather engine is REX Essential + Overdrive and i got REX 4 Texture Direct as well. For this sample i'm using the PMDG NGX 900 aircraft and DX10 Scenery Fixer v2.3 :im Not Worthy: i want to say thanks to the forum and the guys who gave me their reviews and suggestions on this topic >>>> Richard Sennett, SteveW, mgh and voodoo101, i really appreciate your help guys.

Hi all, I have just gone back to flying in the UK from Middle East, where I was getting a nice steady 30 FPS (airports & and in the air) with little if any micro stutters, but for some reason I can never get good FPS when in the UK, when at EGLL or EGKK getting no more than 6 FPS and the rest of the UK around 10 FPS, I know EGLL is bit of of killer, but with traffic down, no cars etc.. any ideas why and how I can fix/tweaks? Many thanks for any help,support or ideas you can offer... if you need any more info, let me know.

Big thanks for keeping the software updated and improving/adding features. One small issue with the latest 2.5 installation (for me) is the loss of the text background colour as can be seen here. Now the text remains readable but the line in the background is gone. Before 2.5, there was a green layer behind the text. fsx.cfg settings haven't changed but here they are, just in case: ActiveWindowTitleTextColor=255,255,255 ActiveWindowTitleBackGroundColor=0,28,140,64 NonActiveWindowTitleTextColor=255,255,255 NonActiveWindowTitleBackGroundColor=24,33,87,64 InfoUpperRightTextColor=255,0,0 InfoUpperRightBackGroundColor=255,0,0,128 InfoLowerLeftTextColor=255,255,255 InfoLowerLeftBackGroundColor=255,0,0,128 InfoLowerRightTextColor=255,255,255 InfoLowerRightBackGroundColor=255,0,0,128 Any ideas what setting could cause this? Happened right after installing 2.5, so there is a correlation while the causation still has to be proven of course.

A lot of people fly FS with 3 monitors. A common known issue with widescreen monitors are the side distortion effect on the left and right monitors. While searching the AVSIM forums, it appears that a solution to this problem is in development for Prepar3D called Prepp3D. I'm not sure how it works but I think it involves some work with shaders. I think the DX10 Fixer does something with shaders as well. However I was wondering if anyone know if a possible solution to this distortion problem can be implemented using the DX10 Fixer? I did find one video on YouTube of someone flying 3 widescreen monitors and he had no side distortion. The user in the video says that he only changes zoom to 1.00 to fix the problem, but as many of you already know, that does not completely remove the distortion effect. I have posted a link to the video below. If anyone knows how he was able to remove the side distortion in his video, a suggestion on this thread would be welcomed.

This has been asked a million times I think... but is there a fix for the artifacting with AMD cards?... I've tried with multiple drivers. This only happens with SteveFX I believe. I use a 7850 btw...

Hi! I've experienced some very wierd textures on FSX lately, they are blue and ugly and its mostly lakes that looks like that. Im using DX10 and REX. This i what it looks like: http://gyazo.com/e31ba0f441d137e1e9009ad03d425248 http://gyazo.com/b4dbde9d3f4bc69c1e31a02c4ca9c412 Thanks for helping me! /Jacob

Hi all! [sOLVED] Im using Steve FX DX10 Scenery Fixer for FSX and i have a little problem with it. The light on some airports starts to flicker and goes wild and crazy at the night. Especially old airports example Aerosoft Stockholm Arlanda X. I believe this is a pretty normal problem and i have read the manual but i can't find an solution. Here are some screenshots; http://gyazo.com/b8a149e5d0a1d137160afd8bc1e49f02 http://gyazo.com/5928b9b7360744e0bb212abc1c2f62e6 Do someone know how to fix this problem? Cheers /Jacob

Hello Steve, You helped me on this same aircraft earlier this year so I know it's not the aircraft. Eaglesoft Hawker 400XP. I retrofitted the VC panel with ISG1 EADI and the Proline 4 MFD. I can't quite pin down whether it is anything with DX10, ISG1, or just plain FSX. Parts of the guage, (speed tape and heading tape) do not show up at night in the VC. They work great at night in the 2d cockpit and work fine in the day in the VC. I downloaded 2.4 and re-read and troubleshot with the manual. Areas that I thought would pertain. Legacy shading, V2.0 Transparency etc. Nothing worked. I switched out the A320 EADI, and replaced that as well with ISG1 777 EADI to no avail. Same problems. I even gave the 8bit option a try and that didn't have an effect. Now I need to keep the legacy slider all the way to the right for my aircraft to work in DX10. I moved it a step at a time to the left and that did not help the guage work either. Just made the rest of the VC have problems. I have a question in over at ISG1 support just to confirm that Ernie's gauges are DX10 preview capable. My guess is they are. Im not sure what to do if anything can be done. Here is an image of what it looks like at night in the VC and 2D. Thanks. VC 2D

OK, before facepalming and thinking "this dude must be noob", hear me out: I've been flightsimming for years and have had long experience with messing with FSX settings and tunes, and I've recently been quite satisfied with DX10 using Steve's fixer. To put some icing on cake, i have just purchased GTX 780 yesterday hoping that i can get some horsepower out of it. Before, i had GTX 560Ti. I think i have a not too bad of a system here, with: - i7 SandyBridge 2600K, OC'd to 4.6Ghz with additional cooling - 16GB high-perf RAM at 2133Mhz (Corsair dominator series) - FSX installed in dedicated SSD - Win 7 Ult 64bit - Single monitor setup, 1920x1200 resolution Software-wise, - DX10 Fixer installed and DX10 enabled - Re-done fresh FSX.cfg with the install of new GPU - Followed all key Nvidia Inspector settings out there, 8X SGSS and 16x AA - Followed all key Dx10 related FSX.cfg tuneups including BP=0 and the whole shabam from this from and many others FSX-wise, - REX Overdrive textures, FTX Global and Vector - Fps locked at 30 - AI traffic at 40% (MyTraffic X) - Autogen "Dense", Scenery Complexity "High" I get beautiful looking scenery and 25-30fps in most non-busy places, but once I get into a busy default airport, FPS just slams down into the ground. I usually test "busy" load using default scenery EGLL and KJFK using the FSX default ultralight plane. Considering what my system is, I would hope that I get at least 15fps or high 10s. I would in fact be happy with 15fps, still very flyable. But I get 6 to 9 fps at most, 11-12 from time to time... and I seriously cannot understand why I get such horrendous performance. The funny thing is, the usual "fps killers" such as AI traffic and 3d Clouds don't seem to be causing my woes at the moment. I removed weather (clear skies), removed light bloom, and even killed AI traffic completely - i STILL get barely 10 fps! 11-12 max. Something doesn't sound right when an empty default airport with no cloud gives you 10fps using GTX780 in DX10...Is there something wrong with default scenery? For example, AI traffic's fps difference is pretty small between 40% traffic and 0%..maybe 2fps? Stormy weather doesn't drop much frames..possibly 2 fps drop at thunderstorm condition. I've tried many different tweaks, such as enabling bufferpools and changing TBM values, to no avail. When I hear about other people getting near 25fps at EGLL using custom photoreal sceneries with full of AI crafts, I wonder what can be wrong with mine? Any advise would be much appreciated....

I just wanted to ask a quick question on Direct X 10 and 9. I've been getting around 20-24 average fps in the PMDG 737 with Direct X 9, and when I use Dx10 with the Fixer by Steve I get an average of 18-20 fps. A few months ago I installed FSX on my new pc and I did immediately started using the Fixer, I was getting 26-33 average fps, but also at the time using Dx9 gave me 15-18 fps? So it's completely the other way round now? I might just reinstall FSX again, that's what they say, reinstall FSX every few months.

I'm so bummed. After a two year break I'm back at FSX harder than ever, and was all set to install this great new tool I heard about from Steve... DX 10 Fixer, and its no longer available! Are there any alternatives so that we can fix the DX 10 issues his tool took care of? I'm getting incredible frame rates with DX10 but the flashing and other issues are killing me :-( Hoping there's something else out there to do what his tool did. I can't believe we can't get it anymore. Gavin
