August 8, 201114 yr 1). Place the FPSLimiter_0.2.jar into your FSX root folder.2). Unzip it.3). Double-click on the jar file. It will then give you a GUI interface, wher you will click on "Search Executable"4). The executable it wants is FSX.EXE, in your FSX root folder. When you've selected it, click on "Open".5). The GUI will now show "fsx.exe in the "name" window, and the path to your fsx folder.6). If you have a single monitor - put "30" in the "maximum fps" window. If you have a TripleHead2Go monitor system - put "90".7). Click on "create bat" & then close the GUI.8). Look in the fsx root folder, and you will see there are now three files starting with "Limiter_", a "HookHelper.dll", an 'fsx.exe.limited.bat", and three starting with "FPS".9). right-click on the "fpx.exe.limited.bat, and then select "Send to", then select "Desktop". This will create a shortcut on your desktop, which you will now use to start FSX. I did it exactly as described but a DOS command prompt comes up and disappears. Have latest Java installed.

August 8, 201114 yr So what happens if you click on the .bat file directly? i7 [email protected] | 32GB RAM | EVGA RTX 3080Ti | Maximus Hero VII | 512GB 860 Pro | 512GB 850 Pro | 256GB 840 Pro | 2TB 860 QVO | 1TB 870 EVO | Seagate 3TB Cloud | EVGA 1000 GQ | Win10 Pro | EK Custom water cooling.
August 9, 201114 yr That's what I did. Ran .bat file as admin and the aforementioned occurs. Do I use that file to start FSX, or am I supposed to start FSX as normal and the window for the .bat file comes up?

August 9, 201114 yr Put a shortcut to the bat file on your desktop. When you click it, it will open a DOS box and start the limiter, and then start FSX. When FSX opens you will have a green note in the upper left saying your frames are locked at 30. Dave
August 9, 201114 yr Thanks Dave! I thought that some sort of GUI would was supposed to pop open via which you would open up FSX.

August 9, 201114 yr Okay I finally got it to work (apparently I didn't have JAVA installed). I created the BAT file and copied to my desktop. Double clicked it and a DOS (?) window opened and FSX started. However the F10, F11, and F12 keys only swich views and don't do what the FSlimiter is supposed to.Have I done something wrong?ThanksAlan MB ASUS P8Z68-V PRO Z68; GPU nVIDIA GTX 570 ; CPU INTEL i7 2600K 3.4; MEMORY MUSHKIN 8GB; ANTEC KUHLER H20 620; WD VELOCIRAPTOR 600GB; WIN7 HOME PREMIUM 64BIT, SAMSUNG 34" 1080P TRACKiR 5 PRO FSX with SP1 and SP2; ORBX PF, PNW, NRM, CRM, AUS (BLUE, GOLD, GREEN, & RED, SP4), YBCS, YBBN
August 9, 201114 yr I think the .2 version added the F switches. You can change the "/f:30", in the bat file, to change the frame rate. I have never had to. Dave

Not to be rude, no, no, no... Just a bit chocked!

Not to be rude, no, no, no... Just a bit chocked! If you go back and read my post I did follow your instructions because I said (apparently I didn't have JAVA installed) which was an indirect reference to your reply. If you didn't jump to conclusions I followed that up with a question which you chose to ignore. If you feel that it's a waste of your time then don't bother replying to the post and let others answer my follow up question.Alan MB ASUS P8Z68-V PRO Z68; GPU nVIDIA GTX 570 ; CPU INTEL i7 2600K 3.4; MEMORY MUSHKIN 8GB; ANTEC KUHLER H20 620; WD VELOCIRAPTOR 600GB; WIN7 HOME PREMIUM 64BIT, SAMSUNG 34" 1080P TRACKiR 5 PRO FSX with SP1 and SP2; ORBX PF, PNW, NRM, CRM, AUS (BLUE, GOLD, GREEN, & RED, SP4), YBCS, YBBN
