Shockwave lights and DX10

[LouP]

Anyone know if shockwave lights work OK in DX10 preview mode? I looked at the A2A websight and the question seems to have been asked a few times but there was never any definate answer given (which may be the answer) :sleep:

Thanks,

I think they will work but I'mnot 100%.

Ive just got in from a 5-6hour drive and I'm utterly knackered and in need of a bed. So I can check fro you tomorrow but if you already have the 3d package then just flick the dx10 switch and have a look.

Trouble is dx10 mode is just a preview mode, half implemented so results may vary from system to system, cant see how they would work though

If the lights on A2A's B-377, P-47, and B-17 are the same that are in the "Shockwave Lights" add on package, then yes they will. I fly almost exclusively in that Preview DirectX 10 mode in FSX.

OK, the reason I am asking is because I've been bad as I took my lights from FS9 and put them into FSX. They worked fine in DX9 mode but lately I've been trying out DX10 and like it except that I was having issues with the lights. I was going to upgrade to the FSX version but was worried that the same thing would happen. I am having issues near the body of my aircraft where the light will break down into a buch of small squares (kind of like an un-aliased edge) and then just plain dissapeared about 6 inches from the aircraft body. If the FSX lights are actually different and will work, I have no issue upgrading.

Nobody knows?? Strange that every thread I see on this seems to go dark.

Might be somewhat related to your subject too.

LouP, there was an updated version for Shockwave Lights for FSX but this is a separate product for purchase. I purchased both and the FSX version works great with Dx10.

I have no idea how the FS9 version works in FSX. Check their website for information on both products.

Hi Stoval,

Thanks, do you have the FSX lights installed in any of Caronado FSX planes and are those OK, too?

Thanks,
LouP

Sorry none installed on Caronado aircraft but I have just about all my others including the VRS FA-18, Aerosoft F-16, helicopters of all types and many WWII models. There is such a large selection of styles and types you can't go wrong with this product. One of my best investments.

Anyone else chime in here with an opinion. A2A has done a great job with this add on. (Shockwave)

Hope this helps!!

I'm using DX11, comes with WIN7, and they work fine there.

Hey Lou it seems to work ok on my system but since dx10 is only a preview mode and can be different on different systems I cannot say 100% what results you will get though I would think it will be ok.

Thanks Lewis,

Nothing like going to the source. I've been using these lights ever since they were announced OK for FS9 and would really miss them if I can't get them to work. I could always stay in DX9 but I swear I see an improvement when I have that silly DX10 box checked. I guess worse case I'll have all the lights installed in the default aircraft along with my custom set-ups ;)
