Frame Rates

Thanks for the confirmation JL

Does it matter if you limit the FPS from FSX or an external tool such as an external FPSLimiter like nVidia Inspector? - I'm assuming this would ONLY work in FSX for the data acquisition?

I have no idea how the third party FPS limiters work. I think the FSX built in limiter will work better as it limits the simulation FPS as well as the visual FPS.

Yeah I thought that was the case (External apps probably only limit the visual FPS)

Hi,

Some users have been doing tests.
Apparently, the best scenario is limiting the FPS using FS internal limiter to a value which proves to be constant throughout your flight.
Using external limiters is not useful at all.

I still recommend FPS between 30 and 40, which will keep a smooth display, and free some CPU for the rest of the software.

Thanks for the clarification JL... I'll stick with the internal FSX limiter then

In case you haven't seen them, NickN has compiled a great deal of info on FSX "tweeks" (or non-tweeks) that improve performance. Well worth the read and implementation.
