I am trying to optimise 737NGX as described in the pdf which comes with the product.

It recommends using venetubo.com to auto optimise.

I have done this and it seems good.

However it also recommends to use an external limiter and provides a download.

Unfortunately it does not say where to unpack the RAR file to.

Has anyone got advise on this.

Thanks

Andrew,

It doesn't need to be installed in any particular folder.  I just unpacked the RAR file into a folder I created myself (I called it c:\fs\FPS_Limiter for convenience).  In this folder I created a simple batch file which contained the following lines (without the indents) :

c:

cd\fs\FPS_Limiter

fps_limiter "C:\FS\FSX\fsx.exe" /f:30

 

Set up like this, all I needed to do, was to run the batch file.  This executed the FPS limiter, which in turn loaded FSX with the framerate restriction set at 30 fps (as you can see, my FSX was installed in the folder C:\FS\FSX).  This was on my previous computer but I had no trouble running FSX this way.  Hope this helps.

Thanks Emile. If it has an installer it won't matter where I put it as you say.

Did you find it made a difference?

 

Cheers

It's not actually an installer as such.  The FPS limiter is a stand-alone utility and the folder that the RAR archive is unpacked into, will contain all the files that it needs.  The batch file (just a convenient way to execute command-line commands) was what I used to load FSX through the FPS limiter so that it could do its "magic".  Instead of double-clicking on the FSX shortcut, I would double-click on the shortcut to the batch file.

 

Yes on my previous PC I found that under most conditions it improved the framerate, though nothing sensational.  The graphics card in that PC was probably more of a bottleneck anyway.
