The external limiter should help you.I FINALLY was able to get it working in Windows 7 on my new install.Here I just uploaded it to skydrive:http://cid-408ca931940d5e3c.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/FPS^_Limiter^_0.2.rarUnzip it too a folder, run the .jar file, and select the fsx.exe location and create bat. Then you run the .bat file instead of the normal fsx.exe. F11 decreases fps by 1 and F12 increases.

The 'locked spot view' is not one I ever want (hate the 'dead' feel to it) - the normal spot view is fine now. I have downloaded the limiter in any case, thanks for the linkMartin

Hm what I was thinking while reading this thread is something I myself just can't get rid off: stutters caused by the VSync option. If I have VSync of, I get many stutters, though my framerate is stable at or around 30 FPS, but when I turn it off the tearing annoys me (although the sim is sooo smooth)! It's a difficult choice hehe since the jerky feeling with VSync turned on is really annoying as wel.. so maybe your are experiencing this as well?

Not sure - what 'tearing' do people mean when they refer to VertSync? I don't think I get that problem (with VertSync on). You got a screenshot maybe?M.

Although not from FSX, this is what people refer to when they talk about image tearing. It usually happens when VSync is off.

Hmmmm, that's odd. Here's a link to the image.http://www.tweakguides.com/images/GGDSG_19.jpg

5 years? So you never changed anything once you got your i7?

They did my other machine and then did my new one. But no, once it was done, I havent touched a setting since.

This is odd (AVSIM?) - the image was there yesterday, now there are just the words "Posted Image" again - no picture or hyperlink. What's going on? Checked on my laptop (XP) - same thing.M.
