fps

hi i am new in the forum, so first i want to say hello to everyone in here!

I have a question, how can i see the FPS in fs9?, i am trying to check how my pc manages fps with diferent configurations.

That will be all... Thanks and hope to see you soon.

Press "Shift+Z" two or three times and two lines of red text will appear at the top of the screen giving you all the information you want.

radarman whats like the most fps you ever had while playing fs2004 or fsx?

I cap mine so I'll never know.
FS9 was 27, maybe 35.
FSX is at 20.

I'd rather use the resources for the sim than for useless FPS.
If it's smooth at 20 why go 60????

Yep I looked mine up on fsx other day with High scenery and I got 30 FPS. I didnt figure out how to do it on fs2004 but I know I got alot because it runs smoothly but it probably does on most people computers because fs2004 came out what 3 years ago?

with FS9 and FSX for me...

I have all my settings in FS9 Maxed out and i get 80-130 fps

In FSX i have all my settings at medium low and i get 12-20 fps with Service pack 1

without it, i got 7-12 fps

I'm sticking with FS9 until FSX can come up with patches to make flying as smooth as FS9.
