Denied access to install Reality X 430/530

[Archive88]

Nick/Lewis/Alan:
All solved. Now have my old familiar GPS unit from the Comanche - maybe out of date like me, but an old friend. Thanks.
Tool Tips: Yep, DX10 Preview was checked and when unchecked, TT came back. And when the monitor was reset to 1920x1080, everything was fine. Dunno if that means that DX10 is not good to run, or if it is running safely in the background somewhere unseen. As I recall, upgrades to A2A aircraft seem to end with a check for latest Direct X settings in any case, so I will do nothing at the present since things are working fine.
So we can close this thread. Problems solved.
Many thanks. -=dcp=-=

Good stuff and happy flying in the virtual skies

Dx10 is only really usable in FSX if using the Dx10 fixer which makes it a bit of a must have imo, as it can add some nice eye candy to the sim. You do need to run the effect converter etc after each new aircraft install, but thats all in the dx10 fixer manual from memory.

thanks,

Yep, the "DX10 Preview" option in FSX was just that really dcp - an unfinished feature to take advantage of new hardware. As Lewis says, the payware DX10 scenery fixer is definitely the best bet if you plan to run FSX using DX10 mode as it'll eliminate most of the bugs and add quite a few new features. However, last time I used it, tool tips were still absent with DX10 so this is one bug it didn't fix.

Thanks,
Nick
