DX10 FSX with fixer and sweetFX?

[Mephic 129]

Hi

 

I currently use DX10 FSX with Steve's fixer and FSX Shade 1.02. I  have also many other addons but I would  like to take the sim to next level graphics wise - can anyone point me to good step by step on how to set up SweetFX in DX10 and is it actually worth it? 

 

thanks

I was going to ask you, do you fly high or low, then I decided to check out your profile and noting your add-ons you fly not only high and low but in the middle with the Duke. you seem to have everything in add-on planes and textures. So I don't know what extra your looking for. you could try sweetFX its only a matter of downloading and copying into the FSX root directory. There are some profiles on the web you could search for and try. Whether they will work with the other add-ons, ie Rex I don't know, its a trial and error procedure I guess.

hope it works out for you.

I did copy it on FSX Steam Edition together with some DX10 settings found online, but the sim is crashing on loading screen. Well... I think I just miss 2015 touch to the game if you know what I mean, but on the other hand it is possible that I just expect too much from such old sim having a lot anyway...

Yes it is worth it. Nights look black, days look bright. Make sure you use dxgi.dll and play around with the effects you can get lots of ideas from the sf lazy net. I'm using sweetfx 2 with reshade and the grand theft auto presets with some adjustments.

this a quote from the install guide for sweetfx:-

'•FSX DX9: Start FSX, go to display options, uncheck Anti-aliasing. If you install SweetFX before doing this step, FSX will crash.

 

you could try this in FSX Steam Edition (that's without dx10 preview)

Well I played around with Shade a little bi more and decided I'm really overreacting here I think. :-) 

 

So now moving to question no.2 - how to make VC shadows on 737 NGX visible in DX10 sceneryfixer 2.8 because I am literally unable to do it :-( 

[jaybird1nyc 24]

My NGX worked with the Fixer as soon as I installed SP-1d.  Don't know why some people having problems, so:

 

-Make sure you're updated to SP-1d.

-Make sure "Aircraft Casts Shadows On Itself" ticked on in FSX.

-Make sure "Force VC Walls" is ticked on in the Fixer.

-Make sure "ForceVCShadowMap=1" is in your fsx.cfg under the [DISPLAY] section.

 

Other than those things I can't think of anything else.

 

Hope it works out for you, the shadows are spectacular!

 

Oh, BTW, you mentioned you had DX10 + Shade working good for you.  I have Shade but I haven't set it up in DX10 yet.  Care to share your settings?  Are you using a preset, or did you just come up with your own settings?

 

Regards,

Jay

sorry for late reply I use Mark settings final. They fit with REX 4 nice.

[jaybird1nyc 24]

Ok great, I'm going to try shade using that preset.

 

BTW, how did make out with the NGX, any improvement?

[Mephic 129]

Yes. Thanks to yours and Steve tips shadows are in. It's also important to raise contrast and shadow boost so it is more noticeable.

Hi Borderline, I'm wondering if you can help I've also been using Reshade+sweetFx 2.0 together with Gta shader and it's been amazing Fsx until recently I started getting micro stutters on external view spot view and sometimes just a black screen on Fsx load up don't why.

I'm asking for a kind favour if you don't mind send me a screenshot of your Fsx folders and files just below SimObjects to the last bottom file, I just want to compare regards d3d9.dll,dxgi.dll and other files etc I feel I messed up somewhere. Thanks in advance.

I apologize for the very late response. I'm currently using Reshade w/ Framework just to mess around with the Master Effect used in several games.

You won't find d3d9.dll in my FSX folder because I'm using DX10 fixer, so when you run the Reshade install the setup will create the dxgi.dll for you when you select dx10/dx11  button to configure FSX in reshade.

Does Reshade work with FSX+DX10 without d3d11.dll crashes?
