Closing FPS limiter with FSX running

Featured Replies

I'm currently using FPS limiter (3.0 GHz quad machine, WIN XP SP3 + Nick's tweaks, 8800GTX and 4 GB ram) with no problem and good smoothness results.Of course, by looking the task mgr, you see that the CPU load is well balanced and the first CPU is no longer locked at 100%.Now, if you try one of the following:close the DOS window that starts FPS limiter or stop "FPS_limiter.exe" process via task mgryou see that "FPS_limiter.exe" process is deleted, but the CPU load distribution does not change.So it seems that, once launched, the D3D render hook of FPS limiter keeps working, even if stopped, and one could spare a process.Any thoughts?Thanks in advanceFulvio

-----------------------------------------------------Fulvio, I do that all the time. I DO WAIT until the green large font states that I am running in 30 fps, limited. Only then do I shut down the window. As you have noted, you do stay at or around 30 FPS or whatever you set it up for. :)

What is the purpose of shutting down the window?Noel
