I cant start FSX up with FPS Limiter 0.2 so I found an alternative: When madeed the batch file I start up the FPS Limiter. Then I start FSX and they will run simultaneous without problems (?) Try that and enjoy

Dear Simmers, I've been reading a lot of information regarding tips and tricks to get the most out of FSX. To be honest it gets very confusing as there's too many opinions differing from each other. I recently got a very nice built but it seems my specs aren't enough to get the most out of FSX without doing additional tweaking or tuning. My CPU: - PROCESSOR:Intel Core i7-990X BX80613I7990X Processor Extreme Edition - Six Core, 12MB L3 Cache, 1.5MB L2 Cache, 3.46 GHz (3.73 GHz Max Turbo). - MOTHERBOARD: GIGABYTE G1.Assassin Intel X58 Motherboard - ATX, Socket B (LGA1366), Intel X58 Chipset, 2200MHz DDR3, SATA 6.0 Gb/s, RAID, 7.1-CH Audio, CrossFireX/SLI Ready, Gigabit LAN, USB 3.0. - VIDEO CARDS: 2 (two) GTX-570, 2.5 GB each. - MEMORY: 12GB, DDR3, 2000 MHZ. - HARD DRIVE: Western Digital WD1002FAEX Caviar Black Hard Drive - 1TB, 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6G. - Windows 7, 64 Bits Now the question is, which of the following tips should I follow to get the most out of FSX based on the above specifications. As previously mentioned, there are too many opinions and maybe some of the ones I read are out of date. 1.- Bojote's Tweak Vs. Buying Xtreme FSX PC V2: Is Bojote's tweak enough for boosting performance? Is it worth spending money on Xtreme FSX? Which one will give more FPS´s? 2.- Downloading Shader Model 3 from Bojote Vs. Buying Mogwaisoft Shade: Do I need both? Is there any difference between them? What is the purpose of the shader? Will I get more FPS? 3.- Overclocking the CPU: Will I really boost performance by overclocking the CPU up to 4.5GHZ. Will the CPU get overheated? Is this really necessarily? 4.- Disk Defrag: I've heard of the O&O Defrag. Some say is good, some say is useless. Would any defrag work? Should I defrag the whole dics or just FSX's folder? 5.- FPS Limiter 0.2: Can someone please explain what is this? Will this limit the FPS outside the FSX? Should I set the FPS in the FSX to "unlimited"? 6.- NVIDIA Inspector:What is it with this tool? I really don't understand the following statement (taken out of this forum): " Make your CPU do all the work that it can. Use "Nvidia Inspector" for AA settings ..ect NOT FSX. Turn off AA in FSX and drop Filtering to Trilinear." I'm really not an expert in this topics. Even though I've been using FS for more than 15 years, I've never tweaked nor tuned anything in the program. I just thought that by buying a computer with such specs would make the simulator run completely smooth, but with my add ons and graphic settings sometimes the FPS comes down to 10 (which is unacceptable for the money I spent). Please help me on this. Thanks

Hi! I'd like to use FPS limiter, but there is a problem. I've created a bat file (fsx.exe.limited) but when I double click it it doesn't start FSX. Only small dos window appears for a sec and then disappears. I've tried with all three options D3D9, OGL, D3D8 but nothing works. I've selected fsx.exe file by clicking search button, I have win 7 32, Java,.... I just don't know what's wrong. Is there an alternative to FPS Limiter?

After recently reinstalling FSX, I now get an error when trying to use FPS Limiter. The error is: (0xc0000005) "app was unable to start correctly click ok to close. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, is there a way to fix it? I used FPS Limiter for the past year without ever encountering this problem. I made sure to save my old bat file to use with my reinstalled FSX. It now doesn't work nor does the new bat file I created to replace it. All I get now is the (0xc0000005) error message. Any help or suggestions from the forum would be much appreciated. Gil Ferreira

Hi All, I have been stopping myself to post a message in the forum hoping I could do something about the issue by myself but I have not managed to do that. So here I am ! Here are my specs : I7 930 overclocked to 4ghz. 12GB ram GTX 480 (Asus). ASUS P6TX58 My problem comes from ENB Series and/or FPS limiter. I can use both of them without any issue until the end of the flight when I access the menu (replay, map, end of flight etc..). The screen goes black, I can still hear everything, the computer is still responsive. I can still end the flight by pressing escape, the dialog appears. I have been looking for ages for a solution and tried pretty much everything I could find (Alt + enter, pressing the windows button, alt + tab etc..) and none of them worked so I resigned and deactived ENB and FPS limiter but it does not look as nice. Not sure what to do anymore and I start to believe that it's a hardware problem. I'd love to get some help ! Thank you. Sylvain.
