Without DX10 fixer it's pretty much useless.

Check it off in the settings and run FSX, then you'll see what I mean, all kinds of "shimmering" effects, flashing, and undesirable graphics artifacts.

If you don't buy the fixer, you will lose the Progressive Taxi line

It enables early version of DirectX10 instead stable version of DirectX9 to draw the game on screen.

Dont waste your time on the Directx 10 DX 9 is way more stable for FSX.

Not if you get Steve's DX10 Scenery Fixer which fixes the problems with the DX10 Preview Mode. Using DX10 you get excellent cockpit shadows, better water effects and, when used in conjuction with Steve's Cloud Shadow add-on, cloud shadows on the ground. See: http://www.mutleyshangar.com/reviews/bc/dx10/dx10.htm - ignore the download link as it's quite an old review and many new features have been added since then. Buy at: https://stevesfsxanalysis.wordpress.com/how-to-purchase/ - well worth the money!

Agree, Steve's DX10 fixer is the way to go, it actually improves performance, at least it did on my system.
