cowbananas Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I've just reinstalled FSX with the application pack and reinstalled all my aircraft and it looks good, everything is as it should be. It's taken me a few days to get to this point. However, I unticked "Preview DirectX 10" in the settings after reading a tweak post. Now, after re-ticking the Directx 10 box to get back to how I was, all my aircraft have turned white whereas they weren't before. Leaving DirectX 10 disabled shows the aircraft liveries as they should be but I'd like to get DirectX 10 back as it does look a lot better. Any ideas how I get back to how it all was with Directx 10 enabled? I'm on Windows 10 and a fast SSD PC. Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowbananas Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 Thank you, I'll have a look at that. Still trying to figure out why FSX on Windows 10 has closed the door on the Preview DirectX 10 setting when it worked just fine the day before. I may have to do yet another reinstall just to get back to what I had but it takes a good two days. Anyone with any ideas, please chip in...

mrzippy Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Probably a Win10 update caused the problem. :confused: Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowbananas Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 No, definitely not the case. My FSX pc is offline, no Win 10 updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdish Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) Steve's DX10 Scenery Fixer is a must have, or try this... ...this (shader) cache is prone to be messed up when settings of fsx.CFG are changed or system is toggled between DX9 and DX10, etc. https://fsxtimes.wordpress.com/2011/07/11/clean-up-shader-cache/ EDIT: Instead of just deleting it, you might want to move the contents as a backup in case something goes wrong! Good Luck!

il88pp Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Some aircraft liveries (paints) do not work in dx10 mode. That's just the way it is. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowbananas Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 All the liveries were working up until yesterday. Good advice, will back up current install before changing anything else. Will check out the shader cache idea after back up. Thanks everyone. Will get back after the changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowbananas Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 Well, deleting the shaders messed up FSX, it won't start so just restoring the backup at the moment. Mallcott, I had missed your post so I checked the fsx.cfg file and there's no listing for the DirectX 10 line. I'll be back.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
