Richard Jackson Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hi everyone. I have just purchased FTX global base pack this morning. I've installed it onto my fsx and all I get is loads of black squares floating around the place. Didn't get them until I installed this scenery pack. Just wondering if there is anyway of fixing it. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hello and welcome to the forums. Please untick the preview Direct X 10 box in your in game settings. Restart the simulator and the boxes should be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Jackson Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hi nick. Thanks for the reply. How do you find the directx box in your settings? Found it now. Thanks for your help Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermank Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 HI Richard, If you have both Service Packs 1 and 2 installed on your FSX setup, you will find a DirectX check box on your graphics screen. Go to options, display and look for the Graphics Screen the checkbox is on the right side. Uncheck DirectX, reboot FSX and if that in fact was the problem, your black squares will be gone. btw, if you really want a very nice improvement in FSX, I suggest you look for and buy Steve's DX10 Fixer. It allows you to take advantage of all DirectX 10 advantages for FSX http://sites.fastspring.com/stevesfsxanalysis/product/dx10sceneryfixer and, here is Steve's blog https://stevesfsxanalysis.wordpress.com/ You can also find dedicated forums as flightsim.com and avsim.com as well as comments here if you Search Hope this helps...

Richard Jackson Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hi Sherm. Thank you for your help. I think I will buy Steve directx 10 fixer. I tried un ticking my directx 10 box and it made the black squares disappear. But sadly after about an hour into using fsx the graphics started to go funny and made fsx un useable. When I buy Steve's directx 10 fixer do I need to tweak my fsx config file? Or will the directx 10 fixer do this for me? Thanks Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermank Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 HI Richard, The Fixer will do all the tweaking you need. When installed, it will guide you step by step, plus there is a detailed manual, as well as Steve's blog. He is a very responsible software developer...btw, do not forget to check the various DX10 and related forums at avsim, flightsim.com and several others, including here.
