The product resolves the majority of the issues in the FSX “DX10 Preview mode” and has allowed many flight simmers to switch to DX10 and fly with shadows in their virtual cockpits.
Airports sceneries that use the FS9 SDK will no longer appear as grey and untextured at night. Similarly legacy aircraft built with older SDKs will no longer appear grey. This is shown in the composite picture above where the left hand side has DX10SF enabled. Aircraft shadows are both more accurate in placement and improved in quality.
Important note
Please ensure that FSX DX10 Preview mode performs satisfactorily on your PC before purchase. DX10 Scenery Fixer only addresses graphical issues – it does not boost performance.
Here is a pdf guide which describes the installation process and contains links to web resources on moving to DX10. Read Me First
I do not sell directly to customers – instead DX10SceneryFixer is available from FastSpring a US based reseller below

I have some flytampa sceneries that at night they turn grey. Will this fix them?
Generally yes, but best to ask for each scenery on the flytampa forum.
i have not yet purchased this product yet but I intend to in the near future. However I would like to know if this program will fix my AI traffic aircraft. When I turn on DX10 they have no textures. Will this program fix them? I use World Of Ai Traffic.
Yes it will
Yes it should fix it.
Hi Steve,

Hi steve. Is computer with gtx660 2gb and 3.4ghz i7-3770 (turbo up to 3.9ghz) 8gb ram and windows 8.1 64bit enough to run dx10 mode shadows enabled with fixer with ftxglobal base installed, addon aircraft like pmdg 737ngx and 777 gsx and lastly some payware sceneries (all the addons i basicly use are right there). Thanks in advance, Kim. 🙂
You can test by selecting dx10 preview without the fixer, performance will be the same. Your graphics card is a little weak which will limit aa in clouds.
Same here. New PC today. Have copy of paypal receipt. Thank you in advance.
I have resent everything to the email used for the purchase which is not the same as the email you have used here. If you have no access to the original email then let me know.
I have a new pc and my link has expired. Could I have it reset, please
Sorry for the delay. It has been reset now.
Hi Steve. I purchased the DX10 Scenery Fixer and CloudShadow. I have just received the link for the Shadows one (so it’s OK), but not the Scenery Fixer one…
Thx for your help
I Purchased the DX10 Scenery Fixer, i haven’t receive the Download Link yet.. please help me check it out. thank you,
Hi I have got fastspring to resend. Please check your spam folder in case it has gone there. If it isn’t there in an hour from this reply then post again and I will try to find an alternative way to get it to you.
Hi, I need help, I have a new computer and I need to install dx10 and my download link is inactive. please help
I have reset the download and resent you the download link

Hi, does the fixer require nVidia inspector in order to work (for the AA)? I wasn’t able to find a definitive answer online. Thanks.
In dx10 the Standard AA ( without supersampling) is controlled by settings in fsx.cfg. The fixer will set those for you. The only way to turn on supersampling with a Nvidia card is to use Nvidia inspector.
Hi Steve!
I´m having problems with my libraries. I´ve tried to install the fixer in my PC but , i´ve just forgot my serial!
I tried to search in my old e-mail the link that you sent to me to download the file, but i didn´t found it.
I bought it a long time ago and it is in my PC

Hi Steve,
The Sydney Opera House is missing in DirectX 10 mode. I was wondering whether your awesome tool restores this missing landmark?
Thanks heaps!
Matthew.
Hi Matthew
The Opera House (and Harbour Bridge) both disappear in DirectX 10 preview mode at night – they appear OK in the day.
Assuming this was what you meant then yes the fixer fixes this and they will appear normally.
Steve
Awesome! Thank you!
Hey, Steve, i’m having a issue with my cloud shadows mod here, I bought the fixer with the cloud shadow mod together, the shadows worked for some time, but it has stopped working, i think it stopped when I bought the Toposim South America add-on on Steam (i use FSX: Steam Edition by the way), Toposim greatly modified the mesh, I don’t know if it has something in Toposim that broke the shadows, the water effects are on the maximum, Max 2.x, but the shadows aren’t there anymore, and i only have aircrafts, rex 4 TD with soft clouds, HD airports and Toposim South America installed, if u could give some tips about it, because I haven’t found anything about this bug that’s happening with me. Thanks in advance and sorry my English.
Hi
Can you follow the troubleshooting instructions in chapter 8 of the clouds manual please. If all the steps are ok then turn on debug as instructed and send me a screenshot of the coloured lines that you should see to the yahoo support email which is in the front of the manual. I can then interpret them to determine the likely issue.
Hello there!, the problem is fixed! i followed the troubleshooting chapter on the Cloud shadows manual, i had some trouble trying to find the manual, but i think that some libraries were deleted, i just uninstalled them and installed back using the dx10 fixer controller and everything got right again. Thanks for the support!
Does this also fix the grey untextured FS9 addon aircraft issue?
Yes.
Hi is the DirectX 10 fixer for the fsx steam edition?
It works with the original disk version ( with SP2 ) and the steam version.
Question to “DX-10 Preview” for FSX: If it is activated, there are no Quicktips at the Mouse-Icon, althoug PANELS/QUICKTIPS=1 is activated in FSX-cfg. Deactivating it, there are quicktips again.
What’s the matter about this?
That’s correct. The fsx dx10 engine does not show tooltips in full screen ( it does in windowed mode). As it’s a fault in the core engine I am afraid that it cannot be fixed. People who find this a nuisance usually run in windowed mode with no borders. If you download the dx10 how to guide from nzfsim it describes how to do this.
Will this fix the ground/taxiway/runway flickering issues I am experiencing in FSX SE?
Is this in dx10 preview?
Hi Steve,

Hi
Getting back into simming after a long break.
How do I redownload the latest dx10 fixer. Bought it from fastspring (I think) a couple of years ago and can no longer find the order email. Thanks in advance.
Hi steve,
I bought the fixer before but I can’t find the program, I just have the serial number, could you kindly tell me where can I download it again?
Tks
I went to reset it but it was already done so I guess you contacted fastspring directly?
Hi Steve,
I had DX10 fixer a fews years ago and now i dont have my install no more dure to my old pc packing up. Would i be able to redownload it via a link and have my key resent..

Steve. I am running FSX out of the box. Downloaded the latest version and I believe I have all the proper setting for Nvidia Inspector and DX10 fix correct. But I must be doing something wrong because when I open FSX the start screen is black where the aircraft is shown and when I open the free flight at the airport all is black except for some dark shadowy cloud effects.
Can you point me in the right direction?
Windows 10
Thanks,
Ron
That usually means that the general10 shader has failed to compile. When you run the controller do the diagnostics report any issues at all? Its probably easier to communicate via the yahoo support email address in the manual. In fsxdir\ShadersHLSL\general what are the dates listed for general10.fxh and general10.fx?
Try in the controller going into the file->debug dialog from top menu and press apply. Then try running fsx again.
If that doesn’t work send me your dx10.ini file from AppData\Local\DX10SceneryFixer
Hi Steve noticed there has been an update since I purchased, Tried to use link in my email but cant download it.
Many thanks
I have reset the download for you
Hi Steve,
I hope your well. I purchased the DX10 fixer a few years ago and it worked great for FSX boxed, I have recently migrated over to FSE and having uninstalled the product I cant find it any where on my computer. how can I get the install back? can you please help.
Thanks
I have located the order and resent you the details
Thank you Steve, Could you kindly help, I have received the link and thank you for your hasty resolve however when I install it and open up DX10 front screen on your fixer my FSX path is blank and the button “Change” is shaded out and it wont let me type a path. have you come across this?
Hi Steve, purchased the fixer, and also no e-mail. I think it’s getting blocked en-route for some reason. Can you try re-sending it to me again please.
I have had the email resent if you don’t have it shortly then please come back
Thanks a lot Steve.
Hi Steve
I’ve had to reinstall FSX and have lost my download link. Please could you resend it to me?
Many Thanks

Done
Hi, I have Orbx and the street lights don’t get fixed completly with your DX10 Scenery Fixer. Exclude ORBX Street Lights is enabled. Can you help me?
Thanks,
Norivn.
Where don’t they get fixed and can you describe in what way are they not fixed? When is the problem day or night and what do they look like or do that is wrong
What orbx products do you have?
It may be easier to email a picture to the yahoo support email address.
Hello, i want to update to the latest version, how can i do it?, where do i need to send my information?, there is no “update” button in the program itself.
All the information you need is in the fulfillment email which says
This link is valid for 21 days only so please download and back up.
If an new version is released then the same download link can be used to download the update – the link will be valid for a further 21 days after the new version is released.
The update process itself is described in the manual, simply leave everything as it is, download the new installer using your download url, run the installer which will update the fixer and finally run the controller and press the button to update the libraries.
OK!, thanks a lot, i will do this right now 🙂
It worked like a charm, thanks a lot for the help and thanks for the new updates page also 🙂
I have added an Updates Page to this web site linked from the top menu to assist with finding this information
Hi Steve,

I wanted to reinstall the DX10 fixer and cloud shadows add-ons, but have lost the installation files, is it possible to get a new link for them?
I responded on avsim
i bought the fixer, a few months ago, where do i must go to get the update ?
I can see you downloaded it so I assume that you worked it out. Shout if you need any help.
yup, i thought i bought it from FSstore, but it was here by fastspring. i checked my email, i i have everything there. Thanks anyway Steve
hello steve can you reset my download link i hafe the version 3.2 and i have the fixer buy in the simmarket store.i would to update to the 3.3 version. thank you very mutch. and greeze andy
Hello Steve,
I installed my REX4 Texture direct after installing the fixer. Do I need to reinstall the library to check REX in the addon box since it was not checked on initial installation?
Thanks, Vic G.
No need.
In fact it’s practically impossible to get back to that dialog!
All the fixer does if you tell it you have Rex is to tell you to select the dx10 options in Rex and avoid 32 bit water.
Similarly the other product options just set some fixer settings that are anyway documented in the manual and can be set after the install.
It’s a first time only screen to help people who haven’t yet read the manual!
Thanks for the reply.
Thanks for your response Steve. Have now bought and installed the programme and it is working well. Many thanks for developing such a welcome addition to MSX.
Kind regards
Bruce
Hi Steve,
Is your DX10 Scenery Fixer the same product as your previously named 3D Shader V3.11 or is it an upgrade with enhanced capability?
Bruce
It is a big upgrade. It provides support for legacy scenery and aircraft (written with earlier fs sdks) improved quality vc shadows with more accurate placement, fixes almost all transparency issues etc etc.
It also has an additional addon that provides cloud shadows.
