I only discovered this this morning in one of the forums -- does everybody know of it?To get an averaged number for framerates instead of only the wildly fluctuating instantaneous one -In the FS2002.CFG file under the section [Main]put this AVE_FRAME_RATE_DISPLAY=1Just where do these people discover these things??Barry

Yep, been running that for months now. I found the hint in the April/May issue of Flight Simulator World, which is now called Computer Pilot.Darrell

What specific section of the CFG should that go under?Mark

I assume this should be under the sim section?

It goes under the &l;MAIN&r; section&l;MAIN&r;RUNNINGBADHW=0Location=520,361,1240,903HideMenuNormal=1HideMenuFullscreen=1Maximized=0HelpTopLeftX=449HelpTopLeftY=-345AVE_FRAME_RATE_DISPLAY=1 It is more useful than the standard framerate display, although it resets itself roughly every minute.For an even more useful counter you can try fraps.www.fraps.com Kurt M
