Framerate

[BobbyDevo]

I recently purchased a laptop and found out it doesn't have a pause button but I would like to find my framerate. I tried mapping it to a different button on the keyboard but that didn't work. Any ideas?

I don't think so, FPS counter is hard coded to L-CTRL+Pause.

But you can use another external counter like FRAPS ( https://fraps.com/ ) or MSI Afterburner ( https://www.msi.com/Landing/afterburner ) to show you FPS (and more).

I haven't used it but I read that Win10 has one.

Windows 10 is finally getting a built-in FPS counter (windowslatest.com)

 

If you have an NIVIDIA GPU and NIVIDIA GeForce Experience is installed you can use its built in FPS counter.

"RCtrl + Scroll Lock" also works to display the built-in FPS counter in DCS. But chances are you have no Scroll Lock key on your laptop either. Do you?

Is it possible there is something in one of the config filed that i could change the setting, like a true or false thing?  I looked around a bit but didnt see anything- but im not the best at reading thru those config files anyway.

Any help would be great

I've just tried to change the values below (in \DCS World OpenBeta\Config\Input\Aircrafts\Default\keyboard\default.lua) but it didn't work. I'm pretty sure these controls are part of the binary file, which means they can't be changed.

{combos = {{key = 'Pause', reformers = {'RCtrl'}}}, down = iCommandGraphicsFrameRate, name = _('Frame rate counter - Service info'), category = _('General')},

 

If you really want to use the ingame FPS counter, the easiest thing to do is asking AutoHotKey to send RCtrl+PrintScreen thanks to another combo.
