Somehow my batch file to start FPS Limiter and FSX has gone south. I've placed FPS_Limiter.exe in my main FSX folder along with the applicable batch file and config file. However, when I run the batch file, Windows displays an error box saying it can't find FSP_Limiter.exe. Here is the batch file:start c:\fsx\"FPS_Limiter.exe /r:D3D9 /f:30 /x:OFF /l:OFF "C:\fsx\fsx.exe /cfg:fsx-airliner.cfgI tested the latter part of the batch statement using a separate batch program and it works fine - C:\fsx\fsx.exe /cfg:fsx-airliner.cfg. But, the two parts do not work together.Can someone please tell me what is wrong with this file?Thanks so much.Frank

Why do you need both?All you need is:start "C:\FSX\FPS_Limiter.exe" /r:D3D9 /f:30 /x:OFF /l:OFF "C:\FSX\fsx.exe" <- change paths if not correct

Nope. That doesn't work. There's a flash on the screen like a batch program started to work but nothing else happened. FSX does not start and there is no indication that FPS Limiter is running.I failed to mention that I'm running Windows7 64-bitFrank

This happened to me yesterday.Also running Win 7 64b....I,ve never put the FPS_Limiter.exe in the FSX main folder,but just left everything in a temp folder in my download folder.Yesterday,I just deleted the .bat file,re-ran the .gui and created a new .bat file,created a new shortcut on the desktop and all is well again..Lou

Well, I have no clue why it worked now but......IT DOES! Thanks for the tip. :( There is another but - the FSX configuration switch (/cfg:fsx-airliner.cfg) prevents the batch file from working. This of course is not a deal breaker but I'd at least like to use different configurations.Great responses,ThanksFrank

Haven't used an external program to control the FPS before but one thing I wonder, when you run FSX this way will it then be run as administrator since I always heard you avoid lots of problems making sure you run FSX as admin?

dont you always run as admin if you have UAC disableD?Anyway you could just run the bat file as admin?

True but I have UAC enabled.Running the bat file as admin might work, just wondering if that will only run the bat file as admin or also the application(s) called by the bat file...hmm...guess I'll just give it a try!Are there any special reasons why you want to use an external FPS limiter instead of using the internal one in FSX?

I run all my FSX programs in Admin mode - it's just a habit.I use FPS Limiter because everyone had great things to say about it. Oh, and because it works.fb

Hello,I am using Vista 64 and since I am in the administrator group have never seen the need to execute a program specifying this. I never have any issues in running any executables--ie, it makes no difference, or at least of it does, it is not apparent because they all run as predicted. This includes FSX programs, 3rd party defragmenters, etc. Where does this concept come from, do you know?Noel
