īy the way I am retired now, but I spent 10 years of my life teaching computing in technology sciences, 10 more years in scoring low level code against high valuable requested performances in a huge European Telco, and 24 year in computing for code security purpose. So, as for the while the FPS information is not equal as the one given by X-Plane itself, it would be convenient to make this checking an optional one.Īnd I add to Justin Shannon that my computer and my installation of X-Plane are both correctly tweaked. If you fly aerobatic figures, in Jet-fighters at 300 kt FPS does really makes sense.īy the way, kids or adults flying Jet-fighters on VATSIM are not the main part of flying people, and generally do not have FPS problems has they are obliged to buy the fastest computers.

So the real impact of loosing 4 5 6 7 FPS is between 10 and 20 meters of position accuracy. When you are several aircraft on final, you have normally one minute spacing (sometimes less in very busy airports) If you freeze for one entire second you lose 82 in the track. The lost of accuracy is 3.41 m by 1/24 FPS. If the frame rate is 24 FPS (like in a movie) each 1/24 s you fly 3.41 m So please can you make this FPS checking optional ? I am confident in X-Plane FPS calculation by itself. Hello Matthew, the problem is that xPilot complains for FPS 30
