Measuring Stutter with Fraps

@Word Not Allowed,

I read another post about actually measuring stutter with FRAPS and then plotting the results with an Excel spreadsheet and I think that is very useful. It helps you see the stutters and you can count them or process them in a way that you can make repeatable tests when varying FSX.cfg or hardware or P3D - whatever. The poster defined a stutter as when the interval from the current frame compared to that of the last frame differed by more than 10 milliseconds. That's a great start but I think it is a little worse than that and you should look over three frames. Anyway, I include links to an example XLS format spreadsheet file that charts the stutters and the frames per second. To use it for a different FRAPS recorded CSV file, just copy the second column of interval times (may need to use the separator option of comma and detect special numbers) and paste it in the second column of the XLS file (I use Sun Office and not Microsoft). The second link is a snapshot of the results of the XLS file. If it seems easy to you, maybe you want to check it out.
