Wow, Frank, I'm very impressed!Your setup is far more complex than mine. I bow to your greater skills :)I think I understand your difficulty now.Using your example, try this:Place all the required FPS Limiter files in FSX root (with the exception of Limiter_D3D8.dll and Limiter_OGL.dll)Create the FPS Limiter batch file fsx.exe.limited.bat in the usual way, then edit it by adding the switch /cfg:fsx-airliner.cfg:start c:\fsx\"FPS_Limiter.exe /r:D3D9 /f:30 /x:OFF /l:OFF "C:\fsx\fsx.exe /cfg:fsx-airliner.cfg(Note: I think there should be a space between fsx.exe and the switch /cfg:)Rename the fsx.exe.limited.bat batch file to something like fsx-airliner.batNow, create a shortcut to fsx-airliner.bat and place it on your desktop.Fingers crossed!Mike

Googling around found *DA MAN* vento, the creator of this wondeful tool...http://www.hardwareluxx.de/community/showp...p;postcount=272So, if there is any GErman Speaking friends in the community, please give him a big Danke on our part :)In fact, you can download it from the above link.. maybe its a new version? haven't tried, because you need to register.

How did you conclude Ge

Open the GUI, and click on the info tab. It says the program version and also says:'Made by vento'

I think that means he made the JAVA GUI to generate the .bat file, not the application. From what I read the GUI came later . . .

MikeI moved the files to the main FSX folder. I created the *.bat file. Nothing happened. It appears the movement of files did not make a difference. Sorry about that. There must be something in this *.bat file that doesn't allow the configuration switch. The selection of my configuration icon on the desktop does work so there must be something else.fb

Hi Frank,This is proving to be quite a challenge!Try creating a second batch file with Notepad. This would simply contain the line: fsx.exe /cfg:fsx-airliner.cfg. Save it into fsx root as fsx-airliner.bat. The o/s seems to pick up the path to fsx.exe automatically from the system registry. Test this batch file on its own to confirm that it does work.Now edit the line in fsx.exe.limited.bat to show: start c:\fsx\"FPS_Limiter.exe /r:D3D9 /f:30 /x:OFF /l:OFF "C:\fsx\fsx-airliner.batRegards,Mike

I have a different situation. I use Alacrity to limit the services and programs running on my system when I play FSX. However, when I configure Alacrity to start and monitor Trackir and FrameLimiter, Alacrity freezes after it starts FSX via the FrameLimiter bat which means I have to reboot my system after I am finished with FSX. I have tried configuring the Framelimiter within Alacrity as:1. Start and monitor2. Start before3. Start afterNone of these variations have fixed the problem with Alacrity freezing up after starting the FSX via Framelimiter. I am guessing problem is having a bat routine calling another bat routine.My system is:VISTA 324 G ram3 Ghz duo coreThanks for any thoughts......Danny

Hi,Is there any way to get rid of the big green digits that indicate the fps?I sincerely thank the author, and all that have help with instructions , for this rather small but extremely useful utility!RegardsEdmundo

This should only show up at the beginning and then go away.Check your bat file for the /x switch. From the documentation:" - New ingame fps display, command line switch is /x:ON|OFF, default is OFF"

Houston, it's a GO. Your solution worked perfectly. Thanks so much Mike. Appreciate it.

Works great for me as well (AMD 64 X 2 4200, 2 gig ram, gforce 6800cs 512 mb video card). howard

I'm getting one negative effect with this. I find that photoscenery seems to suffer more from the blurries with the frame limiter running. FS9 scenery running in FSX seems to suffer most. The scenery seems never to come totally into focus with FPS set to unlimited but as soon as I set the FSX internal frame limiter to 30 and both CPU's are 100% the scenery focuses. John

As I posted earlier in this thread.. this application changes the priority of both autogen and terrain calls (slows them down)Photo based scenery will probably not work well with this application unless the system is very, very fast to begin with

Combining "AlacrityPC" and "fsx.exe.limited.bat" as a profile offeres the best of two good tweaks IMHO.Respectfully:RTH

I am unable to get these 2 programs to work together successfully. Can you please explain how you have them set up ?Dave.
