i actually did not follow u Dominique.. plus i had noticed the shadows in Aerosoft airbus too.. i mean few poeple had posted pics in few groups on FB.. any help how to activate them.. thnx in advance.. cheers.

this is so cool.. i wish this becomes a flight sim platform with all the lovely addons..

i have recently reinstalled my fsx...a clean installation right from the scratch, i first installed all the orbx products that i have, latest would be vector 1.10... after this i installed the dx10 fixer and then started my other scenery installations like aerosoft, flytampa etc.. now the problem is i get errors while loading the scenery for eg i recently installed the flytampa hongkong .. installation is perfect n without a problem but while loading the scenery there are some errors that read failed to load fence1.dds and 2nd error would be failed to load shadows1.dds..but once loaded everything is fine.. i have no clue how to resolve it.. it never use to show up anytime before ..i have done clean fsx installations many times.. but i dont know whats the issue here.. even aerosoft scenery has the same issue.. some or the other texture file fails to load..but after the loading is complete there is no hassle..can anyone help ??

i envy you sir...

wow.. i am in the process of building A320 sim... great stuff.. keep it up airpanther

pleaseeeeeeeee make it quick... i want it for my 31st bday next year.. as i planning to make up a A320 sim.. would love to fly with outerra

this is awesome.. so guys when are you planning to introduce clouds, fog ,haze etc..its just too good to be true..i cant believe my eyes ..

just wanted to know.. does this stuff work by default on every and any aircraft installed or we have to add up some lines in aircraft .cfg.. secondly this software only produces effects in rain i presume or am i mistaken?????? thanks

why dont you try this Ctatlow http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=air+florida+&CatID=root&Sort=Name&ScanMode=0&Page=2 and let me know of it helped ..

wow this is great, cant wait for this to be used as future fsx.

no shimmering of water??

ohhhhh boy.. noting to challenge here..pics are just great

download a fresh copy of sweetfx from the net..i dont know for certain but settings also lead to problems or cumbers fsx... i run my fsx in dx10 . below is my setting.. and please do refer to other threads in here to help yourself pertaining sweetfx issue.. all the best.. /*-----------------------------------------------------------. / Description / '------------------------------------------------------------/ Game: Flight Simulator X Author: tim987 SweetFX version: 1.5.1 Description: Settings for Flight Simulator X in DirectX10.

hi iqballoon .. which version of sweetfx are u installing? the latest is v1.5.1.. make it sure ur using the same or the previous..but an older version might cause fsx to crash.. somehow..sweetfx 1.4 makes my fsx crash but the later versions r working.. i would suggest you to check the google as well so that u can get a wide picture on how u can make this stuff work for you..cheers sorry forgot to mention i use steves dx10 fixer with sweetfx..

its not an issue..infact my pc would not take the load any further and hence i am finalizing over a brand new pc..exclusive for my fsx simulator.. as i believe if u want to have the best results of such products u gotta have a powerful pc to support that.. once more i thank you for considering India and i wish u all the best sir for the current as well as future projects.. as well as replacing the night textures for buildings { if possible }.. have a great day..Chris.
