Hey,Anyone ever see this?  Trying to attach some shots but failing.  Sorry.I ran a successful PMDG 737 flight first thing this AM and this wasn't there; tried again later and these damn numbers are in the upper right corner, right where you'd see the FPS after selecting control-Z.  Two digits, red to yellow, showing values from 1 to 30ish.  Swapped out .cfg files and restored without success.

The picture doesnt show.

have you got fraps running?

have you got fraps running?

No; never had it.Funny thing, the numbers in the upper right corner seem to correlate to the FPS when I hit shift-z. The numbers are red when 24 or lower and yellow when 25 or higher. Also, the numbers on the upper right update less frequently than the shift-z FPS display, as if they're being averaged. Nice touch, but I'd like to turn them off. The only thing I've done with the sim in the recent past was to upgrade FSUIPC to the .dll Pete Dowson is offering to fix the CTD's. They're still there after removing the new & re-installing the previous FSUIPC. Strange thing is they (those damn spots, er numbers) survived a system roll back (prior to ATI/AMD driver updates) as well as a fsx.cfg replacement.Never saw this with FSX before, and as I said it started spontaneously; the last flight prior didn't have that "feature."Sorry for the first post; browser trouble I think.

It's been a long time since I had an ATi card, but isn't (wasn't?) there a setting in their control panel to display FPS?

Yeah if you dont have any other FPS counters running or anything I'd look in your video card's settings for this. It IS the FPS, but it's not native to FSX so you'll have to try and figured what you turned on or installed that's displaying it. Likely though, yes, it's you vid card.

Anyone ever see this?

Looks like the frame rate display from one of the external frame rate limiters. You'd need to use whatever hot key is assigned for that function in the limiter.Pete

That very much looks like FRAPS to me even though you say you haven't got it installed and its recording video when its red like that, and yellow when its not recording.

Thanks for your responses, gents. I went into the Catalyst Control Center and went through all of the possible changes that can be made but I saw nothing about FPS display.As far as FRAPS is concerned, I never installed it on any FS version I've owned. The numbers turn yellow at 25 and over; red 24 and less.I've used only one frame rate limiter (FPS limiter 0.2) but I haven't used it for weeks.Poltergeist(s)?

OK, so the only logical question is, is the fps limiter running...Either way something IS running, and as thats the only thing that counts yours fps it can only be that..just like 2+2=4. ( i dont mean to sound patranizing)Can you be sure the FPS limiter isnt starting up when you start FSX?And how you explain the FPS counter changing from yellow to red, and i know you said u havent even installed it, but that to me is screaming fraps..thats exactly how it acts.

Found in a Google search, referencing FPS counters and ATi Tray Tools (ATT):Disable OSD Support: If you want to disable the On Screen Display (OSD) that ATT shows during a 3D game, such as the FPS counter, tick the 'Disable OSD support' box under the Additional tab and it will be removed for this game. See the On Screen Display section on the next page for more details.

It was....it was..... ATI tray tools; right clicking the tray icon produced a window with a number of options, including OSD. I installed the thing a few days ago and completely forgot about it as usual. Moral? I will learn not to install anything after having a martini; I think during is OK.
