kinnon88 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Hi all, Recently I rediscovered my old copy of FSX and I thought I'd fire it up again. After reading a number of threads on this forum and other, I realise you can gain significant improvements on performance and display. I wanted to explore the DX10 fixer and found there was a preview option in acceleration and SP2 (correct me if wrong). First question - I presume you need to have the preview toggled on to apply the fixer? I downloaded the SP1 and SP2 packs from Microsoft and installed both. However I cannot see any dx10 preview toggle button I checked the fsx.cfg file, which contained no D3D10 entry, so I added it D3D10=1 Still nothing Removed the dxgi.dll file - albeit the only one I could find was in the system32 folder no change Updated the Nvidia graphics drivers to the latest 376.84 version I couldn't find any SweetFX software and I haven't downloaded it as far as I'm aware. Any help would be great Specs below - OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601 System Model Precision M6700 System Type x64-based PC Processor Intel® Core i7-3820QM CPU @ 2.70GHz, 2701 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s) Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 32.0 GB Total Physical Memory 31.9 GB Available Physical Memory 26.9 GB Total Virtual Memory 63.9 GB Available Virtual Memory 58.9 GB Quadro K5000M DX11 CUDA Cores 1344 Graphics clock 601MHz Memory daya rate 3000MHZ Memory interface 256bit Memory bandwodth 96GB/s Total available graphics 20193 dedicated video memory 4096 mb GDDR5 If there is anything missing please let me know any help appreciated thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 If you have the DX10 preview box it will be hiding in the FSX/Settings/Customize/Graphics tab sitting on top of Light Bloom and lens flare. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iflygary Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hi, I'm almost certain it's there just as MrZippy stated but you may be overlooking it. If it's not there, then you need to do a repair of your FSX installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 For fsx to use dx 0 some things are required. read this post by StringBean. https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?278054-Installed-SP1-and-2-and-now-FSX-wont-work-HELP&p=1849962#post1849962 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinnon88 Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Thanks again for the replies. No, the Preview DirectX 10 toggle doesn't as per iflygary's image. It is just a blank space. I may try a fresh install. Someone mentioned in the link il88pp posted, the program has to run after each pack install. I updated back to back. I'll let you know how it goes. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinnon88 Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Just to confirm, I have all the steps covers in StringBean's checklist. The only thing I'm not 100% on is the graphics adaptor. However I'm pretty certain the Nvidia Quadro K5000m should support this. I'm running dx11 currently, I believe this is back compatible as well.

il88pp Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 does add/remove programs look like this? https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?282544-Rolling-Back&p=1877870#post1877870 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinnon88 Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 oddly enough I have two instances of fsx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 zippy has fsx standard. and win XP that's probably the difference. For me it looks different also. I havs fsx accel. right click your fsx.exe file - select propertires - select details. look at the version number. I think for fsx deluxe plus sp2 it should be: 10.0.61472 found that here: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/fsx-version.84549/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinnon88 Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Solved the issue! I originally installed FSX and then moved it's location after install. When I installed SP2 it recognizes the original FSX location. This meant that sp2 installed but did not make any changes to FSX I reinstalled both and it works fine. I was being lazy, should've reinstalled to the correct location in the first place! I can't thank you all enough for your quick responses Happy flying!
