Listen to Paul. I did. I am 67 YRS and was a bit ,no very unsure
of trying DX10. Paul helped so much. It is so worth it. It is like
a completely new sim. With Orbx scenery it is the most realistic
experience flying you can get.
If at first the water looks bad which it does, Try REX 4 Direct. I
have now got my water looking great. Go for it.

All the best.

YES! Happy to do so.

I have been using DX10 now for about 2 months. I found things rather straight forward setting up DX10 using Steve's Fixer and Paul's Guide. I simply cannot say enough how worth it the move was to using the DX10 Preview.

What I noticed right from the start was the smoothness. I knew after reading up on the procedure for setting up DX10 correctly, I was not going to see a boost in frames. I was interested just to see if the experience would be better.

Well? It's kinda like this. A bad day out on the boat fishn is better than the best day at the office.

In other words. DX10 I found, was so much smoother that even though FSX frame counter was showing at times 14 - 15 fps, I didn't really notice it. I was pretty much set from that point on.

Using Paul's guide, and his advice for testing, has helped me to achieve a nice, stable, smooth, 24-25 fps. That's right. My FPS no longer jump all over the place. It is kind of odd at first to see that. You think something's broke. The only time they may drop is near water, cars, high dense airports, traffic etc.

I would not be hesitant to try DX10 even if you are like me and have an aging machine. You simply have to invest a little time to understand the process, go for it, then make adjustments, enjoy.
 
Yes!

But ... I think the title of the TOPIC is wrong (actual poll/vote text is OK).

DX10+Fixer, a resounding YES YES YES! :triumphant:

However - I'm amazed at the poor level of understanding of the different DX versions - and how it relates to FSX (which has been out exactly how long now??). Considering we all think we can jump into the hot seat of a B737 ...

Regardless of what your operating system (or GPU) supports, FSX will only work in either of two modes:

1) DX9
2) DX10 PREVIEW (meaning DX10 support was never finished - hence the need for "The Fixer").

Most DirectX versions are (more or less) backwards-compatible - so a GPU that can run up to DX11 will run DX9 or DX10.

I am running FSX with DX10 on both my machines - one has a fairly high spec, the other is less so.

Using Steve's Fixer, both machines run FSX far better than I could ever achieve in DX9.

I have been using DX10 solidly for the last year or so and have not looked back. With Steve's DX10 fixer I couldn't imagine a better sim.
