February 12, 201115 yr Hi,Lately i have been unable to fly or enjoy FSX due to a problem i have been experiencing with my frame rate shooting up and down like theres no tomorrow. It creates massive judders when in spot/tower/flyby view but its fine in cockpit view.Even on playback of a recording its juddering like mad.I noticed that when it does this, the frame rate is jumping from my normal 30fps down to sometimes 4 or 8fps then back up to normal again all within seconds. Its constantly doing this now but never did it before.I've tried limiting the frame rate lower (even down to 10fps) but it is still occuring, it then goes from 10 down to 3 or 4 then back up to 10 and so on....Any help would be appreciated, i've tried what a forum post suggested online by editing the fsx.cfg to stop this but it hasn't worked.
February 12, 201115 yr Try setting the FPS to unlimited and use an external frame limiter. You can set the external frame limiter to a stable value, which for me is 30. It stopped all stuttering for me.

February 12, 201115 yr Author Thanks for the quick reply.I downloaded FPS_Limiter_0.2 and set it up via the GUI for 30fps and ran the batch file to open up FSX.Once in and testing, it did not do the trick unfortunately. It says in bright green text on the start screen that it is limited now to 30fps.... but the FPS is still jumping around even with the Limiter running just as much as it did before.I had a flight just now and it was almost impossible to fly using outside views. It did not do this a few weeks ago when i last played it, so unsure why its doing it now
February 12, 201115 yr Author Hi PeterYes, set it to unlimited and 30fps in the external limiter.I have it working better now if i set the limiter to 15fps and 15fps in FSX, it stables out somewhat, it's atleast flyable now.Odd how its done this all of a sudden.
February 12, 201115 yr ...but equally directly induces the blurries(IMHO).Kind regards,No blurries here, I guarantee!But I guess you really dont need "Da Limita" with your 5 Ghz CPU?
February 14, 201115 yr I´m having the same problem, will try that limiter out. Best regards, Steffen Fight time: NGX 737-700: 37,0h; -800: 47,2h
