Hi Ian B,
I've found that too, re Vista Ultimate64, mate
There used to be a real graphics guru posting on the group - Derek
Wildstar. He could probably have given us all some extra info' re the
limited/unlimited fps......
Regards,
John Ward

Any tweak guides I have read refer to limiting the fps but they are
all written prior to SP2 so perhaps something has been optimised in
the last service pack

It must have been your post which was lurking in the murky depths of
my memory. Since my re-install, I have tried a few changes to the
fsx.cfg, but changing the framerate to unlimited has certainly been
the most beneficial. I am hesitant to make any further changes, as I
usually keep making them until everything goes pear-shaped, and I have
to start all over again.

As I'm sure you know Martin, if it ain't broke keep fixing it until it is!

That's appalling!! You shouldn't egg me on like that - you know I'm
going to fall for it - again.  >> Stay informed about: FSX unlimited framerate |
