Greetings,

 

After a few years I've decided to venture back under the stairs and get my ATR cockpit back into action.

 

I never did well with FSX performance, but want to try again to get it working. I think my computer can run FSX at a moderate level.

 

I went to a site yesterday and input my FSX.CFG file for analysis. (Can't remember the site name.) One option was to set the FPS to "Unlimitied" in FSX and use an external program to cap the FPS.

 

I'm currently using FPS Limiter. I've set the limiter by running "FPS_Limiter /r:D3D9 /f:30 C:\FSX\FSX.exe". I always start my session windowed, set up certain paramaters, then go into full screen.

 

When I'm at windowed mode the FPS is what I would expect; about 30. When I go into full screen mode the FPS is cut in half. This is true for any FPS setting that I use. If I set it to 20 the full screen mode is 10. 60 is 30, etc...

 

When I'm not using FPS Limiter there is no difference in FPS between windowed and full screen.

 

Has anyone had experience using FPS Limiter or have had this problem and fixed it?

 

Thanks for any help with this.

The site was Bojote's (somewhere here on Avsim), and the recommendation to use an external frame limiter is now obsolete, as the latest video driver for your 560Ti has accommodated it along with Nvidia Inspector.

 

Download the driver (301.42) from here - http://www.nvidia.co...aspx?lang=en-us

and Inspector from any one of nine or ten sites - like : http://majorgeeks.co...ctor_d6630.html

 

Here's my Inspector settings from July 1st, but you can play with the AA and AF - the important bit is at the bottom. Set FSX to run at 30fps within FSX, and set up Inspector's "Vertical Sync" to 1/2 Refresh rate. (This assumes your monotor's default is 60fps.) https://dl.dropbox.c...tor_1.9.6.6.jpg

 

OK?
