August 9, 201114 yr Author Thank, you are all so kind,does the limiter make a big difference to the smoothness? {FACTORY STD SPEC}HP ELITE i7 [email protected] 64bit. 8gb RAM. 896 MBNvida GTX260.

August 9, 201114 yr Hi,at least in my case it did. Improving frames from ~18 to ~23 fps makes a very noticable difference! cheers, NiIs U.AMD 5800X3D | 32GB DDR4 RAM @ 3200MHz | RTX 4070 12GB @ 1920x1050px

August 9, 201114 yr Before you're mislead, the external FPS limiter does not raise FPS, but rather caps it and makes the sim less likely to have those irritating "surges", especially when panning in external view. Some claim it helps with blurries but firstly I don't have blurries, and secondly when I did on my old system, the ex. FPS limiter didn't help. What does make FSX perform better is having the internal FPS limiter on unlimited. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
August 9, 201114 yr Thank, you are all so kind,does the limiter make a big difference to the smoothness? For me it was really worth it. With the PMDG 747/737NGX I went from 8-15 (unplayable as far as I'm concerned - had no choice but to use the 2D cockpit) to 25-30 (capped at 30) FPS even in areas such as KJFK. Wonderful.

August 9, 201114 yr FWIW, I am using antilag. No batch files (has an .ini file and a good readme). Drop both files in your FSX root folder and it is basically transparent. Set and forget. FSX must be set to "Unlimited" internally!!! Why? Because, I do not know! (goggle ******* FSX tweaks for a tech explanation). Cheers, Scott Ball

August 9, 201114 yr How about the issue of black screen when going back and forth between windowed and full screen? Rick Hobbs
August 9, 201114 yr How about the issue of black screen when going back and forth between windowed and full screen? Easiest fix is to quit switching between the two! There's no difference in performance on my PC so I just leave it windowed all the time. Kenneth Weir My Saitek yoke mod i7 2600k @ 4.7 8GB Gskill CAS7 2x GTX580 SLI Surround + GT520 Accessory Win7x64

Yes i was wondering about performance in windowed mode because i've never paid attention to that before. So if there's no difference, i think i'm going to go for it because it is definately the better limiter. The only thing that bugged me was the black screen thing because i use Radar contact meaning black sctreen every time i minimize to start it up. Also a pain if you want to tweek EzDoK.Regards, Rick Hobbs

The only thing that bugged me was the black screen thing because i use Radar contact meaning black sctreen every time i minimize to start it up. Also a pain if you want to tweek EzDoK.Regards,Your mileage may vary.I've found myself in an unexpected situation. Using 2 gtx580's to run 3 monitors in surround I get 15-30 fps no matter what I do. With all settings at minimum or max, stock airport or fsdt's kord, full screen or windowed, nothing makes more than 10-15% difference so I just maxed everything & am learning to deal with the low frames Kenneth Weir My Saitek yoke mod i7 2600k @ 4.7 8GB Gskill CAS7 2x GTX580 SLI Surround + GT520 Accessory Win7x64
