The DX10 "How-to" Guide - comments

Thank you for this very professional looking guide!

At a quick glance the only thing that popped out was=Maximum pre-rendered frame 3 was entered three times in a row!

Other than that jolly good!

Again, thank you!!

Nicely done, Adam. Concise, neat, and well presented (simple and clean). Congrats and thanks for your efforts. :very_drunk:

Very helpful, the NVI settings really help out.

Thanks! I'm an long-time NVI user myself so that was all pretty familiar territory! However - if there are AMD/ATI/CCC users out there, feedback will be gratefully received as I'm not able to test the CCC settings myself.

UPDATE: v1.05 (revised Bufferpools section).
UPDATE: v1.06 (added FSPS Fiber Accelerator and FSWC sections).
 
Adam, I was surprised that in the DX10 guide for DSR you recommend removing all AA effects from FSX when using DSR. When I tried that the image quality that DSR produced was greatly diminished to the point of being no value over standard DX10 AA/GSAA settings. I found that using DSR with the Fixer AA settings that one uses 'normally' within the Fixer (sans GSAA) is what puts the icing on the DSR cake. But hey, that's me.

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what combination of what works best any more! I've fiddled mine to destruction!

Is there a way we can see all the releavt settings you have for Fixer/NVI/nVidia CP? I'd love to give your settings a go. I can then rewrite that section (!).

Adam.
 
Uh oh - I've tweaked too far. Now I'm getting a black aircraft selection screen and worse, once into the sim the whole screen is black. Tried deleting the fsx.cfg and let it rebuild with no diff. Tried setting Nvidea Inspector to default with no result, even reset the Nv to as close to default as seems possible.
 
No, that had no effect either. I'm a hairs breadth away from just abandoning the whole thing. I wasted/spent several hours yesterday trying to unravel this problem with no luck. It's supposed to be a joyful pastime. I'm sick of it.

I've gotten a black FSX screen once or twice and what I have done is simply cycled through the windowed and full screen mode (alt-v-f) once or twice giving the screen an opportunity to load.

But, what led up to the black screen. Did you check the box in Steve's fixer that said apply DX10 to aircraft screen? I haven't done that and don't think it is necessary.

Did you follow the "how to" guide step-by-step? It doesn't take that long and that is what I would do if I was getting the "black screen"! Don't get discouraged...we've all been there. Good luck.
 
Yes, I did all that. Too late now I have deleted FSX. Going to give it all rest for a while to preserve my sanity. :dizzy:
 
Hi Captains,

I have read Adam's "How-to" guide. Please tell me, because I'm not sure - in case 1/2 Refresh Rate, should I set limit 30 fps in Inspector AND 31 in FSX options simultaneously?

With regards,
Lucas

Absolutely right - yes. The FSX function is NOT a frame rate limiter. It's a "target" value that tells FSX to configure itself and do everything possible to try and achieve the required frame rate. The general thinking seems to be to set it to one higher than your locked (NVI) frame rate limiter.

However - some systems appear to work better with the FSX target framerate set to "unlimited".

Adam.
