DirectX 10 for XP

[ozzy72]

Has anyone tried this yet? I'm going to give it a whirl but wondered if anyone had an opinion...

As Phil Taylor posted a long time ago

FSX will not execute through the DX10 API unless it sees the right system files (core files) from Windows Vista


I have no idea how this works but everything I have read and heard about it says that although it may allow limited DX10 support for modeling and other 3D work it will not allow full DX10 support to games


Unless something has seriously changed in it within the last year I do not see it providing anything,.. be sure to back up before messing with it



and even if it does work fully,..  if this is for FSX I would not waste my time.. FSX DX10 IMHO has too many bugs to be worth the use.

Nick I'm still only running FS9 on my rig as FSX just kills my system. I'll let you know how it goes in a little bit

Okay well the first tests prove favourable, in NZ at my secret testing location I'm getting between 5-8 FPS better than usual! More data to follow

wait a minute.. you are telling me you are running FS9 in DX10?


Is you video card a DX10 card?

That hack posted has a lot of people asking why their DX9 no longer works and they cant seem to uninstall it, so Im really sure what you are seeing here




but none the less, you are a lot braver than me installing hacked DX system files from someon in russia...

The only game I have on my system is FS9 at the moment, I'm thinking about putting CFS2 back on as I've been asked to beta-test a new campaign and some aircraft.
So far so good 8-)

I know the Alky Project designed a library preview

But it did not work and they folded as well.

I don

I'm planning to completely rebuild my system anyways Nick so I thought I'd chance it. I'm quite happy thusfar with the mod however.

[NickN]

I was not worried as I am sure you are covered on restore with backups or would just rebuild eventually

But you are braver than I am...

And what is wrong with upside down in a heavy under the Eiffel Tower?

Interesting ive heard of some games disabeling  features in in DX9 which can actually work with it. Doesnt surprise me a bit though.

Does it work?
