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.

Thanks to your great DX10 fixer, my favourite light aircraft, Lionheart Creations Aerospool Dynamic has no more missing vc textures in FSX-SE DX10 and it also makes Virtualcol ATRs show vc shadows!
Thanks and best regards from LOWG
Will DX10 fixer work with Oculus Rift and fly inside?
Fly inside has not been made compatible with fsx in dx10 mode
so, is it compatible wit oculus and FSX SE ? ?
I just bought and installed your DX10 fixer. All the problems seem to be fixed, (a big thanks for that) however when I choose to enable ground scenery shadows I get terrible flashing. It happens at all airports both default and custom. Is the fixer supposed to fix that? Thanks for the great work.
Not really, ground shadows were always flawed in fsx (dx9 and dx10) which meant no one used them and because of that very few sceneries have been made compatible with them.
There are two types of ground shadow flat and volume.
There are two setting in the shadows dialog.
The Volume Shadow bias value can sometimes reduce flickering on the sides of towers
Disable Volume Shadows just leaves the simpler flat shadows which tend to work much better but even with these there may be scenery incompatibilities.
Thanks for the speedy reply. I disabled volume shadows and it seemed to work…at least for now. I also find that I cannot use antialiasing or I get horrible flashing scenery. Can you suggest anything? BTW, I’m running Windows 7 with an Nvidia GeForce GT 635 video card.
What aa have you set and what filtering did you select?
I’ve been playing around with different settings in both FSX and the Nvidia Control Panel.
Currently my settings are:
FSX Settings:
AA checked Onn
Filtering – Bilinear
Nvidia Control Panel Settings:
Antialiasing:
AA FXAA – Off
AA Gamma Correction – On
AA Mode – App controlled
AA Setting – App controlled
AA-Transparency – Off
Filtering:
Anisotropic Sample Optimization – Off
Negative LOD Bias – Allow
Quality – Quality
Trilinear Optomization – On
DX10 Controller – Volume Shadows Disabled
These setting seem to work for now. I have both aircraft shadows and ground shadows activated and I haven’t had any flashing of flickering scenery after visiting several different airports.
Hi Steve,
I purchased earlier today this product and the influence is shown immidiatly!
but have one problem though…
I have a 737 home cockpit and Im running 3 monitors for that:
2 27″ monitors for the main outside view
and 1 24″ for the instuments down below.
on the lower screen I used to open up a pop up windows with the ND and another one with the horizontal display
the problem is that ever since I had installed the DX10 fixer every time i pull one of thos pop up windows from the main screens to the lower one before flight so the sim freezs
FSX:SE
WIN 10 64 BIT
up to date simconnect
FSUIPC 4.9 with licence
LINDA
EZDOK
AS16
ASCA
happens with the NGX ( havnt tried other aircrafts yet)
Firstly I think that you will find that if you uninstall the fixer libraries then the behaviour will be the same. This is why I recommend testing in dx10 preview before purchase as I cannot offer much help with complex setups as the interaction is between the fsx core, Nvidia drivers and the gpu.
Provided that you have just a single gpu then people seem to succeed in getting multiple monitors to work, but there are tricks. When you undock my understanding is that you must right click in the window to prevent the spinning circle hang. I also understand that you may also have more success if you switch to windowed mode before undocking.
First thank you for the fast respons !
I do have single GPU
I do undock the window befor moving it and for prevent him to disapear when ever swich view point
I do use windowed mode
Any suggestions ?
Are you getting the busy mouse cursor (spinning) and gave you tried a right click in the undocked and moved window?
Yes i get the spinning mouse (FSX not responding)
And I tried to move the instrument box un windowed, i can drag it away of the 2 main monitors but nothing is seen in the third ( it should be that way becouse it is unwindowed)
i can click freely on the third screen
the sim only freezs when i am draging awindowed box over there
Does the third monitor use a different connection (vga) perhaps?
Yes it does
but all the are connected directly to the same GPU
Solved!
I read a bit on the steam forum and found that alot of people that use several monitors and DX10 have the same problem.
I unticked the “V” from the DX10 preview in FSX SE setting and it was solved.
now the problem is that i really want to use tour amazing product Steve and i cant 😦
any ideas?
No, sorry as I say this is why I suggest to test.
I am not aware of any particular issues with a three monitor setup other than the need to right click, I know many people use more than 3 monitors successfully so what the particular issue with your setup is I don’t know.
Hello Steve,
I am currently using 3 16:9 curved TV screens for my FSX setup.
Is it possible to use DX10 fixer in virtual cockpit? (PMDG 737NGX)
Are there any known issues?
Kind regards,
Thomas
Hello Thomas,
The best thing to is to try for yourself by selecting dx10 preview in fsx and trying some flights in the day. If you ignore the odd flashing runway and the very jagged vc shadows you can see how it works. For aa just tick the aa option in fsx settings when in dx10 preview and add 4x sgssaa in Nvidia inspector.
You will need to uninstall enbseries if you have it installed.
If you undock a panel then you must right click in it to prevent the spinning mouse cursor. A few people report issues running dx10 preview in full screen with dx10 preview so that’s another thing to test.
Hi Thomas
using 3 monitors only for projecting the view from the cockpit will do no harm.
but as Steve said you might will have some problems if you will try to drag panels into the 3rd screen.
For Steve, what do you meen when you are saying “right click in the panel” ?
and also for you steve, does itvchanges for bad if im connecting my 3rd screen via VGA? should i connect it otherwise?
I have read (NZFSIM DX10 how to guide) that if you undock a panel to a different monitor and then resize it that you can get a blue spinning cursor. The tip is to right click inside the panel you have just undocked and resize. Alternatively again from the same document you can edit the panel size to avoid the need to resize it.
Hi Steve,
I recently purchased a scenery from “JustSim Hamburg EDDH”.
I am having some scenery problems related to DX10 which I cannot solve and the programmer also could not solve.
The programmer (Andrey Bakanov / JustSim SEO) has done what he could he said and provided an update to all those having this problem but still there is the same issue.
He thereffore advised me to ask you to have a look at it as it seems to appear only with DX10.
Probably you could help ? I would be VERY grateful as EDDH is my hometown 🙂
By the way all your products provide such a great satisfaction. Both of them should be literally ranked under the top 3 MUST HAVES before taking any plan off in FSX. Thank you !
Kind regards,
Raphael
Can they provide me a copy to look at?? What is the issue exactly?
Hi Steve, I wanted to upload a screenshot but cannot do here. It looks like trees are displayed as transparent polygones. Best is to look at the screenshot. So where shall I send it to ?
Kind regards,
Raphael
The email is in the manual. But first try going into the debug dialog and change Common Alpha test to Full Alpha Test and press apply.
Where should they send it Steve ? I could send you some screenshots as well. That would make it probably easy for you to understand the issue. Thanks a lot for caring !!!
Steve, your software is amazing, certainly gives a new life to FSX, as i saw at Youtube videos. Congratulations. Gathering the money to buy it. Cheers
I spoke to you earlier about a scenery flashing problem that I was experiencing with your fixer installed and DX10 preview enabled in FSX. At the time I thought it was caused by enabling ground shadows, however I’ve narrowed it down and it seems that the flashing is being caused by enabling road and highway traffic. The flashing I see comes from the moving vehicles on the roads. When viewed in FSX from above at a high altitude, it’s quite evident where the flashing originates. When I disable all moving traffic, the flashing stops and even enabling the smallest amount starts it again.
I’ve always played with road traffic enabled and I didn’t have this problem prior to enabling the DX10 preview so I’m certain that it’s the cause. Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks,
I don’t know let me look.
Just bought the fixer but am confused on which settings I need to adjust in the AMD CCC. I have the latest version of the CCC installed. Any help would be great!
Just set antialiasing setting to supersampling if your card is fast enough. Note that I have had problems with recent versions of ccc and profiles so you may need to set that in the global profile.
Otherwise control with the fixer controller and set filtering in fsx settings
Any update on the road traffic causing flashing or a possible solution?
Uninstall the fixer libraries and see if it’s the same.
I have tried a few flights and see no issues. All I can think of is that perhaps that you have some replacement textures for vehicles tha aren’t mipmapped. If you have steam can you test on another of with default textures?
If I remove the fixer libraries, the flashing doesn’t occur. As I said before, it only occurs when I have DX10 enabled with the libraries installed. I don’t have any replacement textures for the vehicles. If it’s any help, the flashing seems to occur between vehicles on different roads. For example, flashing will occur between a vehicle on one road and another vehicle on another road.
Just to be clear with dx10 preview enabled and the fixer libraries uninstalled you don’t see flashing?
Is this in the day or at night?
When I removed the fixer libraries, I also disabled DX10 preview. I haven’t tried it with the libraries removed and DX10 enabled.
I’ve only noticed the flashing during daylight hours including dusk and dawn.
Yes and I wanted to know if there is any connection to the fixer ( I assume that there isn’t) removing the libraries and running in dx10preview will tell us that. Currently I have no idea what you are seeing or why. Car traffic runs on a loop on road segments so a car apparates then drives say 300-500m and then vanishes. On the next segment the same occurs. Possibly you are suffering a texture lag on loading?
Ok, I removed the fixer libraries, left dx10 installed…moving road traffic flashes.
Fixer libraries AND dx10 preview disabled…no flashing.
I’m aware that the traffic runs on a loop. I’ve seen the cars appear and disappear at the beginning and end of sections of roads. It appears that the flashing only occurs when two or more of those sections of roads with moving traffic are visible from the selected eyepoint at the same time. For example, when parked at my test airport, I can only see one section of moving traffic from the cockpit and from the spot eyepoints and no flashing is experienced. However, when I switch to the overhead view and pan out to about 45 miles, several road sections are visible and the flashing occurs. This flashing is visible as spikes radiating from traffic on one section to the traffic on another section of the roads. These spikes flash as the traffic moves along their path.
At another airport I use for testing, there is moving road traffic on both sides of the airport and the flashing is so bad from all eyepoints, it renders the FSX menu bar unusable. If I disable moving road traffic there is no flashing and as I increase the amount of traffic, the flashing become worse.
My results indicate that the flashing is caused by running in dx10 preview and enabling moving road traffic.
It sounds like a corruption of the vertex buffers, google fsx scenery spikes. Is your driver fairly up to date? It can be caused by the gpu getting overloaded.
Hi, I have been trying to purchase the DX10 fixer but fastspring payment page keeps coming up with an error code http error 503, do you know when or how long till i can get your product?
I am unaware of any issues let me look.
Actually I see that you managed to buy it. There may well have been an outage as nobody purchased before you today
Hi there!
I was at aerosofts EDDF v2 and my parking system does not show at night it just shows during the day? Do you have any ideas how to solve that? I don’t get it
Have you enabled the AES STOP SIGN fix in the legacy dialog?
This is checked with a hook.
Have you asked aerosoft? Does the problem occur in DX9? Do you have the latest update?
I see that were some issues in May last year
http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/112374-eddf-v2-autogen-crazy-docking-system-oem/
It does not happen in DX9. The known issues are not happening on my system. And I do have the most recent version
Have you tried missing texture alert?
What exactly doesn’t work? This is the aes stop sign you see when parking at a gate or something else? Does it occur at other airports with aes?
What settings are ticked in your legacy dialog and where is the slider Set?
Here’s also a list of missing textures:
For PMDG 747v3:
$MLGHB, $WINGLIGHT, $CABINLIGHTF, $CABINLIGHTPAX, $FUSELAGELL
During load of the first flight (i guess it’s other textures).
$AEPFLOOD2, $OXYCAPT
i switched to DX9 and the missing textures showed anyway. but i got to see the parking guidance
I wouldn’t worry about those the PMDG isnt the issue – what are you legacy settings?
Here is a pic of my legacy setting:
http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4694/nxm4hf6y_png.htm%5D%5BIMG%5Dhttp://fs5.directupload.net/images/170417/temp/nxm4hf6y.png%5B/IMG%5D
Try turning off v2 transparency
If that doesn’t work try slider full left.
If that doesn’t work try slider full right
Then restore original settings
Then in debug dialog untick the option Strict Oslo/AES near the bottom on the left
Then restore original options again and report back
I turned off the v2, now i got the guidance system at night. Thank you very much for your help, i guess i’ll leave it that way.
Try putting it back on and then untick strict olso in debug screen to see what happens there
It’s gone again
Ok so only solution for you is to disable v2 transparency for now
Hi, I purchased the DX10 Fixer from your websiet through FormSpring a while back and i currently have v2.7 build67. I purchased your cloud shadows fixer but all i need is the most recent version and build of your fixer. Would you be able to email me a link of the current version and build?
Yes of course, give me a few moments to find your order.
Ok I have done that for you, I only wish that there was a way to automate it for purchasers of cloud shadows.
Managed to fry the drive where I saved your software. Registered as otooleg@aol.com. Can you help?
I have resent the download URL. Cheers steve
Hey Steve!
First of all, thanks for the amazing Software! I Need your help: I’ve sadly lost your E-Mail and can’t download the new vesion of the dx10 fixer. Can you please send it again? Thanks!
No problem, I have resent to your irfan email address
Realy much thanks Steve!
Ola Boa tarde Steve,gostaria de comprar seu produto , instalei aqui um teste e tive o problema com quadros negros nos cenários ,tem como resolver para efetuar a comprar do original?
Hello, good afternoon, Steve, I would like to buy your product, I installed a test here and I had the problem with blackboards in the scenarios, can you solve to buy the original?
yes
Hi Steve!
Sorry to bother you but I seem to have lost the email with the serial number and the fixer. Could you please resend it?
Thank you!
Ok resent
Hi Steve,
I’ve set up my FSX+Acceleration System from the ground and p
installed it on a brand-new SSD (Windows10 64-System). I’ve only installed FSX+Acceleration so far. Everything worked fine. Now I’ve installed your DX10Fixer (3.3 Build 103) and (Miracle1) I didn’t have to enter the serial-number and (worst… miracle2): The opening Screen showed no FSX-Path and the “Change”-field is grey. If I want to uninstall the library it says: Specify the FSX-Directory (I can’t). Diagnostics says: General10 shader not found, watershader is not original, etc., bkg.bmp has been altered and so on. Hey, I’ve just set up a brand new System and I’ve deinstalled the old one and my former Fixer-installation completely. I don’t know any more tricks (sad, because in my former Installation the fixer worked wunderful!). HELP!!!!!
Greetings from Munich
Alexander
See pg 35/36 of manual. If moving FSX you should first uninstall libraries. If you don’t then you will get stuck as you describe. Go into preferences and tick the new option to allow an emergency change of directory to get around this.
Hello Steve I had to reinstall my windows 10 and lost my dx10 scenery fixer licence and details.Can you please help.

Hi Steve,
I’m considering buying your product because I just jumped to DX10 mode in FSX SP2 Acceleration and I tested your free DX10 tweaks but I use a lot Ultimate Traffic 2 and added many AI planes that while they’re parked (DX10 mode) they look fine, but when they are taxing all the AI plane’s textures turn to white, my guess is that it has something to do with AI plane’s lights on. So you’re fixer fix this? And FS9 planes that look white in FSX DX10 could be fixed too with your product?
Many thanks!
Alexander Colka
Hi Alexander, Yes it will indeed fix both of those issues.
Hey Steve! New computer and my download link isn’t working 😦
I have reset it for you.

Hi, I am really struggling with the dx10 fixer as the water looks like something from a snes or Sega mega drive, I am running a Xeon 12 core threaded to 24 core and affinity mask settings to utilise the majority of the cores, I have a GTX 1080 8gb gpu and 32gb ram, running my os and fsx off a 500gb ssd, so I don’t lack power, I have orbx FTX global base pack, vector, open lc Europe, Trees HD, lights and EU England and I have Rex 4 Texture Direct+Soft Clouds.
But something isn’t right
Please help
I have tried a few different things to fix it including removing Rex 4 but it did not resolve my issue, the only resolution I have found so far is to remove dx10 fixer, how do i apply for a refund please?
The fixer doesn’t change the water significantly, Surely it looks the same in dx10 preview without it?
What precisely is wrong, saying it looks like a sega mega drive is not very helpful. Start without the fixer and select dx10 preview and work at fixing any issues that you have before installing the fixer. It’s always best to start with the default fsx water textures and bump maps.
Well it is hard to explain, I can send you a picture if I had an email address to send it to.
Hi Steve! I’m not sure if I have a problem. I think I just need a clarification.
I have fps locked in 37, since my monitor frequency is 75hz. In high altitudes the fps is completely steady.
But near the ground, populated cities, airports, my frames is not keeping steady anymore with drops below 30fps, but never below 20 with minor and rare slutters.
My system specs are: i7 7000k OC’d 5.2ghz, GTX 1070, 16gb RAM at 3000mhz, nvmw ssd 960 1tb.
I use dx10 fixer, ezdok, many orbx, free mesh, Rex direct, as16 asca, track ir 5 and.fsuipc.
Afinnitymask setton 85, aa in the dx fixer 32 and 8 in inspector.
My question is: with the setup I have is it normal to have those drops, or I’m not getting the must of my computer? I need that clarification to move on and fully enjoy the simulator instead of keeping worrying about tweaking.
Have a nice day.
It sounds plausible to me. There is more for fsx to process, more objects to draw trees autogen more aa
One thing to test. Reduce aa to 4x and try the same scenarios, if you see an increase in fps it’s limited by gpu, if no change cpu is the limiting factor. In the latter case you can try reducing the fsx sliders a little.
Its common to see a fps drop when the mouse is on the screen and it may be in those scenarios that you are doing things in the cockpit.
A further thing to try is turning off the fps display!
The only reason I turn it on was because I notice a little decrease in smoothness on screen, and realized it happens when frames go under 30. But my sim is looking outstanding, and performance variation is in acceptable level for me. I will follow your advice and forget about it. I will do the aa test later. Thank you Steve!
Hi Steve!
How are you? I’ve got an issue, I’d need your help with as far as possible. I recently bought the Mumbai X scenery from Thai Creations, unfortunately the scenery objects such as ground vehicles and containers do not show when I’m in DX10 mode. Is there a chance you can help me out here? Thanks in advance for your time and help.
Holger
You can try changing the alpha pull down in the debug menu to all. If that doesn’t fix it then all you can do is experiment with the legacy settings, turn off v2, toggles the Oslo fix etc, and finally move the slider away from the central position.
unfortunately all those ideas don’t work out for me. I already had to switch off the v2 for the parking guidance system- visibility at night at Frankfurt. Thank you anyway
If moving the slider full left and full right has no impact, try the 8 bit fix, although it should not be left on
Hey there, Steve!
Your software is amazing! It (almost) resolved the awful “black squares” issue with ORBX FTX Global street lights in dx10 mode.
Why “almost”? There are still whitish-transparent squares visible where the street lights should be. It’s very noticeable during the daylight.
Do you know how to completely get rid of those annoying squares? I tried playing-around with settings within the dx10 fixer, but nothing seemed to work…
I appreciate your help!
Turn on missing texture alert, you must have a missing texture, which is discarded by the dx9 engine and so doesn’t appear but is shown as a transparent square by the dx10 engine. When you have the texture name you need to find which scenery uses it and request that they supply it to you.
