Request: FPS Slider Increments

[MadKreator]

Would like to see the in-game FPS slider move in 1 fps increments or have the ability to type in the preferred fps. Such as 72fps for 72hz VR. 
-Playing more and more VR its a pain to go back into Nvidia Control and cap it at 72 to play vr for a bit, then go back in and un-cap it for 2D. Would be good to be able to leave it unlocked in Nvidia and set a cap for 2D(if necessary) and a correct one  for VR in the Launcher. Mine happens to run best at 72 hz/fps as I’m sure many players’ also does.

I forget. Are you Steam or Standalone. If the latter I suggest you skip the ED launcher for a bit, and start using Skatezilla's where you can have multiple presets to choose from.

Standalone. I used his launcher for a long time, then I stopped  as I hadn’t really done VR all that much. Then the fps slider and launcher came out, which I really do like. I only need two presets, 2d and vr, have them all set up well, but just think it’s a bit odd that the fps slider is only in 5 fps increments. Of course I’m not going to quit playing because of it.. just thought  it’d be nice.  If it never happens I won’t cry or lose any sleep

options.lua, graphics = {, ["maxFPS"] = 72, }

I have done that in the past too. But can it be saved per preset? Or is that a universal setting? Ideally I only want the VR preset capped and 2D unlocked so I can play with the slider without it overriding the options.lua.
** I answered my own question, no it doesn't save per preset. If I change it to 72 in options .lua while preset 3 settings are applied ( the preset I use for vr), great it saves it. When I go to preset 1 it changes to whatever the slider was saved as for that one. But then going back to preset three, the fps slider  and options.lua settings are now back where they started, not the 72 fps that I saved.

***found the custom presets in savedgames/config/OptionsPresets/ Custom1.lua, Custom2.lua, Custom3.lua.. changing in here does save it per preset as it should, as long as you don't touch the slider lol

- for me personally its not really an issue. It was more of a thought/request  for the community as a whole. If there's a slider, then I would assume it should be able to be set to whatever a person wanted. Then again, like most of us, I have a lot of opinions on what should or shouldn’t be done in DCS Not my call though, so a simple wish list request is the best I can do.

If you're using ED's presets, then you have to edit each preset file, not 100% sure if it will read the line, but it should go in the preset lua's graphics table,

\Saved Games\DCS\Config\OptionsPresets\CustomX.lua

It does indeed store and read it per “CustomX.lua”. Works like a champ.
