Many of you use FPS Limiter instead of internal limiter, for a good reason I know.Only annoyance this program gives me, is that after FSX has closed, a MS-DOS window stays opened and you have to close it manually.For the life of me, I can't figure out how to make it close automatically, if it's at all possible! I managed to keep it hidden in W7 (by making an icon for FSX in the taskbar. I made a shortcut instead of batch file, and still, now it says "Press a key to quit" when FSX closes.Why doesn't it simply close itself!? Is there a way to make it?

It does say "press any key to exit" - but I couldn't find the "any key" on my keyboard.;)

:( :( :(

It's simple to close...after FSX loads up, just reduce FSX, close the Limiter window as you would any other type of window (top right), and then go back to full-screen on FSX. Fly on....OR, after having closed down FSX...When you end FSX, just wait five seconds, and then press for instance your space bar...and the Limiter window goes good-bye....

Mitch, yes, I know all of that. And that is why I called this thread an "annoyance" - exactly for that. When tweaking and opening FSX twice a minute, it's getting annoying!

LOL I am sure Word Not Allowed knows all this: it's not about how to get rid of the window: it's about how to get rid of it automatically. For me personally it isn't a problem to press a key, but hey, we are talking about computers and we got computers to do things for us :( , so... I understand the annoyance. And even though I wouldn't have started a topic on it, I am curious if there will be a solusion. :(EDIT:Ah, Word Not Allowed already replied himself... (That's what you get when you always open up all interesting topics before you actually read and reply to them. :( )

------------------------------------------- :( "Have a good one, Word Not Allowed!" BTW, if you have never hung around the FSX area of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina....check it out with UTX/GEX at full blast. Most satisfying. Take a trip down to Charleston for a landing there, and if you have My Traffic X 5.2b,---you'll see a great military presence.Mitch

The "press a key to quit" function is built into the executable. There is no way (that I know of) to make the window close automatically. Perhaps if you contact the author, Marko Ludolph, he could recompile the program for you leaving that call out. Other than that, I think you are out of luck.

Awwww.......crap.

It's an easy one-byte patch to make it bypass the "press a key to quit" prompt. Use a hex editor, load in the EXE, find the bytes "75 24" at offset 0172D and change the 24 to 54 (all these are in hex, BTW).The "75 24" is the jump which goes to the "press a key" prompt and sleep loop. Adding 30 (48 decimal) makes it jump instead to a point where the loop has exited when you pressed a key.RegardsPete

Thanks Pete!!! Works perfectly!

For anyone too lazy to make a change! I read the readme, which is in German, it says nothing that I can't share the file, even changed, so:http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LSPZMAS4

Thanks Word Not Allowed, it works fine!

Right on guys - Way to go! I humbly apologize for the "out of luck" comment. I am even going to use the patched version. I am lazy, haha.
