Hi,I downloaded FPS limiter 0.2 and have no idea how to use it, the read me does not explain. There are a bunch off .dll's and an installer that does not work (flashes quickly a box and then nothing). The GUI opens but I have no idea how to use this with FSX. I would like to try this external fps limiter thing I hear so much about.Thanks

Thanks for that. You know, ever since I let Bojote modify my config my FSX runs at 40fps average with all sliders maxed and many complex add ons. Do I really need the fps limiter. I am running unlimited with no problems.
