DX10 prob on FSX

**italoc** · October 24th, 2009, 14:25

Hi friends
I wonder if someone can help me with following new problem:
having suffered lately a unrecoverable crash on the dedicated HD I was running FSX-Accel :isadizzy:, I cleaned and formatted a new partition on the main disk (C) exclusively for FSX and re-installed FSX and FSX Accel ......
all is well but for the DX10: I dont have anymore such choice on the parameters

!!

P.S. I'm running VISTA 32bits

Reload your vid drivers may help that....Maybe...Can't hurt to try.

Hmmm What else??? I'm thinking...

Is Acceleration regestered yet?????/

I Uninstalled FSX and Accel, then I formatted the HD and started everything again: FSX+Accel activated, but still no choice of DX10

on the parameters screen !!!
Could it be that DX10 is activated by default ???
I'll try to re-install a FS9 "only" A/C to see if gets Blank textures: that would tell me I'm DX10, otherwise .........
What do you think ????

have you cleaned out the old FSX config files and all?

Thats very odd..

Requirements for DX10 are

Vista and Acceleration or the service packs....

Maybe a dumb suggestion, but is DX10 registered properly and the latest DX10 version installed?
What does it tell you when you type dxdiag into the start menu/run box?

Another one:
Did you look up the FSX.cfg in User\your name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX?
It should have an entry "D3D10=0"
If you set that to 1 it may kiss the DX10 switch awake.

Hi Mathias
I did set to "1" the parameter.
Followiing is dxdiag report:
