Automated Tweaking and Tuning tool for FSX

[Paul J 349]

Allrighty... let's try it this way: open up the folder, and type out here, the filenames of what you now have in the folder that you've just unpacked: there should be eight files, including the PFS_Limiter_02.rar file - OK?

Hey Paul, I have unzipped the download to a folder and I see all the files, have installed JAVA 64bit, when I click the GUI.jar file I get what looks like a DOS promt box for a second then nothing. No interface no joy.I can run it on my Dell laptop which is Vista 32bit. Here a some specs..Asus P8Z68 pro-V, i7 SB2600k@4.3 GHZ, 8 gig Mushkin 1600 7-8-7-24, EVGA GTX580, W7 pro 64

Hi JB: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/347357-fps-limiter-bat-file/ Post #15. I don't bother with the Java gui.

[BFarney 7]

Paul,, right on! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! Batch file works like a charm. I would think the developer could have a read me file with these easy to understand steps and not messed with the Java gui cr*p.Again thanks so much for your help, have a great day! Benaka: Capt. Jack BallBallAir, Inc.

Is this still the current link .. ?? I got a "time-out" message.// You can visit Bojote's FSX Tweaking & Tuning service athttp://www.venetubo.com/fsx.html

[Paul J 349]

Yes - it is still live.

[vonmar 124]

Ok,Thanks for confirming.I got into the site just now.

Sorry if this has already been asked and answered somewhere in this HUGE thread but one thing I noticed is when I run this great tweaking tool it reports it has disabled a/c shadows for increased performance but what the tool actually does at least in my case is to enable a/c shadow itself by setting AC_SELF_SHADOW=1 which before running the tool was set to AC_SELF_SHADOW=0. Is this a minor bug in the tool or am I missing something at my end?

[vonmar 124]

Yes, it does.I noticed the shadows (on itself) next time I loaded aircraft.Had to manually disable it.

Hi everyone, I followed all advices given by Bojote, but one thing is not clear to me. First: are we talking about FSX in FULLSCREEN mode or Windowed mode. When I fly in Windowed mode I get get a smooth 60 fps (at a certain location) and when changing to Fullscreen the fps drops to 20. Second: When applying the external fps limiter, fps drops considerably compared to using the FSX fps-limiter. System: 4 core ATI processor, ATI Radeon HD 5670 MB Any suggestions? Henk.

Thanks for the tool! It left me with 2 questions, however. 1. In a couple of steps, your instructions said to set my driver to application controlled. Which driver? How do I set it to Application Controlled?2. I downloaded the external frame rate setting tool, but I don't know where to extract it? Which folder should I put it in? Thanks! Dewey
