Hi,
the "night problem" cannot be solved by any texture conversion. It´s a bug in the scenery engine only MS could have solved. But they stopped the development of the DX10 version on their way and therefore named it "PREVIEW". DX10 PREVIEW is far away from beeing a FULL DX10 version. BTW: Who knows if DX10 PREVIEW will continue working with upcoming OS like Win7???? maybe introducing a new DX 10.1 ????
So maybe not the bright DX10 future we all were told at the beginning of FSX.
And why dont I just make our sceneries in DX10 Preview versions?
Because DX10 PREVIEW ONLY supports FSX SDK generated objekts which HAVE A LOT OF OTHER LIMITATIONS as this is just pure 3 D code. No triggering, no seasonal changes, no visibilty ranges (only LODs), no ground Layering....
All existing "so called DX10 sceneries" are a combination of legacy and FSX code and run "more or less" but surely not perfect. (legaly) converting legacy sceneries to new code seems nearly impossible for me.
So staying at DX9 could be a good choice, as I personally cannot see any advantage using DX10 preview.
The visual appearance is the same and the frames aswell.
Thats my view as a scenery developer.
Hi Everyone
I have purchased the tool and use it on Heatrow Extreame with much better results than the default scenery. It also fixes many of the texture issues on aircraft.
Regarding framerates I would have to disagree about DX10 Preview as ATI Crossfire is only supported when in DX10 Preview mode which means better framerates with dual graphics cards such as the 4870X2, 3870X2 or two graphics cards.

Dear Aerosoft
How about releasing a DX10 patch for Heathrow especally if it is only an hour or so to fix ?
Bearing in mind FS11 is not going to be released before October 2010 more and more people will make the move to DX10 which does offer significant performance improvements with the latest DX10 graphic cards.
Many thanks in advance

Hi Everyone
FSX support for AES has been discussed for some time now and I for one would like to see something more definative regarding future support for AES until FSX.

Hi There
Some people have reported much improved framerates by moving to DX10 and therefore whilst the solution of moving back to DX9 works the problem should be fixed if possible to allow people to use DX10 and Heathrow.

Hi There
With the current wish list and flexibility requirements I think the sim should be ready for Alpha testing by 2030 at the earliest
To my mind the most important thing is true multicore coding support and DX11 compatibility.
If we ended up with an FSX clone with these two features then it would be a winner from day one and could be enhanced incrementially.
I would truely love to have most of the features on the wish list but I would rather have something sooner rather than later or rely on a future product which is too big to be ever delivered.
