DPS Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Just read the Read Me in the DCS World Config folder. Is it really a no-no to edit the max FPS setting in the lua file? I've got latest drivers, adjusted settings etc but flying the UH-1 I'm only getting 30 fps looking out to sea, and more like 18 to 24 viewing towns and airports on medium settings. Basic settings only gives me 1 or 2 extra frames, and maximum settings only gives a modest fps hit. Running Flaming Cliffs 2 on the same graphic settings give me my usual 50 to 60 fps. Is the graphics cfg limiting my video performance? Windows 7; 64bit Intel i5-2320 3GHz; 8GB RAM; 2TB HDD; AMD Radeon HD6670 2GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
159th_Falcon Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Why would it be? I have used and set it to 30 since FC2 orso whit no ill effects that i can tell. So i'd suggest to just go ahead and try it out. See what happens and if you like it our not. Quite easy to restore it as it was if you don't like it.

Sarge55 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 1st I've heard of that. If so, it is something very new. Like 159th Falcon I've been setting my Max FPS to 30 for years with no issues. It's set like that now, no problems.

Paganus Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 It's not a problem to tweak your frame setting if you want. Just do it in the new autoexec file that is in your saved games folder instead of the .lua. They did this because everytime the updater or repair exe runs it dumps your modified file into the backup folder and replaces it with a stcok version. The files inside your saved Game folder are not replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvanK Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Where exactly is this autoexec file ? I don't see one anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 I created the autoexec.cfg as per the Read Me in the Saved Games part of the directory. Doesn't seem to have much effect though: even setting MaxFPS to 2 I'm still seeing the usual 18 to 24 in game. Perhaps I'm missing something.

DPS Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Got just just the line options.graphics.maxfps = 30 in the file. Changed 30 to 2 but no change in game from my usual fps.
