DX10 Preview flickering runway fixed !

[Paul K]

This actually works. I tested before and after at Edwards AB, and after applying the tweak, no more flickering at the intersections

I'm now flying in DX10 preview mode permanently, and the frame rates are wonderful.

Here's the thread at Avsim...

However, its best to go straight to his blog, where you can copy the required modification for pasting

Guys, if you have FSX and a DX10-compatible card, you simply MUST do this!

Yep, I tried it and it does work as advertised. However, for me, I still prefer Dx9.

Any particular reason why, Dave ?

Mainly down to the image quality Paul. You can only have AA set within FSX, which only gives you 2x AA I think Compared to the settings I use in DX9 it just doesn't look as good.
Also, I actually get slightly better frames rates in DX9

Still, that DX10 flicker fix seems to be a good 'un

DX10 is OK but it has it's faults. Main one is lost Nav lights which is well documented and for me the VC cockpit shading idea is great especially when the sun shines through any framing with the shadows and would be very realistic if the edges of the shadows were not saw-toothed edges.

As it says on the selection panel in FSX 'DX10 Preview' which suggests that it is perhaps a beta sample of what was intended to come but sadly never did.

As well as the limited AA in DX10 you will you still have the problem of some aircraft being completely white?
