Fix for multi-monitor users and the FPS limiter

Postby stevehookem » Wed Apr 29, 2009 2:09 pm

I can't use the FPS limiter BAT file tweak since I have multi-monitors. I show 13-15 FPS when I try.

Is there a fix for those that use multiple monitors?

double the amount.

for every monitor you must add another 30

so if you have 2 you want 60 as the frame lock in the limiter tool with unlimited in FSX

as for how well it works.. thats problematical

yeah, that doesn't work too well for me. I get stuttering and rapid frame rate drops (down to 5-7) and back up again.

when I just set the FPS to 28 in the game, it's "almost" perfect. I do get an occasional stutter but overall the flying is very nice.

Does it make any diff that Steve is projecting rather than a monitor. Steve I remember that changing the refresh rate made a big difference for you, maybe try different ones.

Steve, never heard back from you, are you still having the issues or did you get it worked out?

No I just had to go out of town. If you're free this weekend I'll call.
