Hey.. again.
My FSX suffers from pretty bad stutters like in some places it will flick between 110fps and 15fps in less than a second ohmy.gif
I know there is an external frame rate limiter around, but it seems to have been removed from all the download sites,
so if anyone can provide a link I would be very thankful.. laugh.gif

Try this thread, looks like aussieX are sharing a copy:

Great little tool, has made quite a difference on my rig to make it more stable

Hey Rhys. Are you sure you're running the new BAT file you created with the GUI to start FS? You need to create a shortcut to the BAT file and run that. For example my new shortcut points to...
Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files\FPS_Limiter\fsx.exe.limited.bat"

Yes seems to work well; but do you know how I can get REX to use the .bat file - it just wants to be pointed to the \FSX folder (I think??)?

Dart over...

Rhys, are you sure you have Java installed? If you open a command prompt window and type Java then hit enter what do you see?

You need to run a command prompt window so you can see the results, try going start-run and enter "cmd" and hit return. Then run "Java" and see what happens.

If the default of 30 fps is selected does it maintain that value reasonably accurately. I have installed it but still get flickering frame rates from 30 up to 42 or slightly more.
Should it be more solid around the 30 mark?

Hey Rhys, that log doesn't help me, not a Java expert to be honest (a full stack trace might help but not sure where you'll find that on your system), but I reccomend you make sure your Java version is up to date, this problem could be caused by a bug in an older Java VM. Got to the following and do an update...

Hey CP, yeah my experience is that it usually sticks to what I select, with a little variation, but not much.

Thank deeknow
Got it fixed !! I have some 3D drivers that for some strange reason would not let java do anything. Disabled them and things are working fine.

Cheers
