More Dx10 News

Addon converter X convert all my MAIW traffic AI.

I also lost a lots of smoke effects on DX10
 
The important thing with add-on converter x is to point it where you want it. So if it's only AI traffic you want to convert, uncheck everything else. I found some ORBX water scenery tiles were odd but it's not a problem because the converter changes nothing in FsX so you can uninstall it and then start over afresh.
 
Something I've never tried,Roger. How does it cope with portover AI, and more importantly, does it hit the FPS?

I noticed an impact on frame rates when I had it convert all my scenery but I think it depends how many objects you aim it at. Keep it to the minimum and the frame rate hit should be minimal.
 
Thanks,guys :salute:. I may give it a try. I'm not concerned about converting any scenery, just AI (but there's a looooooooooooooooooooot of it at this stage*)


*just checked...15GB+ of AI alone!:kilroy:
 
There's clearly been real progress with workarounds to the DX10 anomalies that FSX throws up...

I especially like the Nvidea Inspector tweak that lmits FRPS externally - thank you Bushpilot!

I was of the opinion that switching to DX10 just opens a can of worms, but as this thread is progressing I'm getting the felling that there's some light at the end of the tunnel for DX10 and FSX - am I right?

If so, wouldn't it be a dream to have one FSX -> DX10 tweaking tool? Am I dreaming or is it within the realms of a developer?

At the very least, it'd be superb to have a central source of DX10 tweaking information.

Thanks, Dave. :salute:
 
One of the most important things I've found was to get Nvidia Inspector settings right and the most up-to-date drivers for you vid card. I believe that many of the updates fo drivers are helping Dx11 functions which are ignored in Dx9 programs. It is essential to have AA and Anisotropic on in game then, if you use an Nvidia vid card checkout post #10 in this thread for my NI settings.


I am persevering with Dx10 post Steve Parsons as it gives my old rig the smoothest ride yet in ORBX scenery areas.
