Issue with external FPS Limiter

[haztronic 1]

I am currently in the middle of an FSX re-install, right now I am installing the addons. My old fsx ran great, never any issues with the limiter. But I am having a problem with it right now, basically the one I used to use (http://forum.avsim.n...al-fps-limiter/) and trying to use again now gave me a minimum limit of 30 fps, it would try not to go below that wherever I went but COULD go higher. However now when I type in 30 in the antilag file and go into fsx to try it, it only gives me 30fps on unlimited, nothing higher when before it would give me higher fps. I know this sounds strange but when I get into things like the NGX, it really helped how it would try not to go below 30 but could go higher when in airports like FSDT LAX. At least that's what I thought this limiter was doing for me ahah :blink:

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Here's my .cfg

I thought the whole idea of frame limiters was to do what their name implies, i.e. limit the maximum frame rate not the minimum

And The advantage of limiting the max is to make your system smoother

[Griphos 138]

It's not possible to limit the minimum frame rate. Limiters do indeed limit the maximum, although some limiters don't always do a very precise job of keeping it right at the setting. They still keep the spikes from happening in the upper range, which causes stutters.

 

I think that what must have happened is that you had it set up incorrectly and it wasn't actually limiting anything. You were just running unlimited in FSX without the external limiter working, perhaps because you had the path incorrect in the batch file?

That's the only possible explanation. Otherwise, we would all just run this magical framerate "limiter" and set it to 200fps. :lol:
