What did you do in 8, 9, 10? Without the image it's hard to understand. Thanks

Joe, thanks, no worries. This is all too specialized for my simple task to check why I'm getting exactly 1/3 of the actual FPS.

Please let us know if you find a fix fo the FPS mess. Thanks

Joe, could you share your app to see if it will work 1:1 on my rig? Thanks

Pete, most definitely my P3Dv4 is v4.2.21.24048 with FSUIPCv5.124a WideClient v7.141.

Please post pictures or a video to see how your simulator looks on it. Thanks!

Please post the whole macro and introduction instructions when you have time. Thanks!

I have no problem making calculations in my head (10x3), and you mentioned it (UsePDK=Yes) was more efficient. Thanks!

Affirm, 5.124a Try to run on a networked PC if you have one. Something tells me you'll see my result 100%. Thanks.

I confirm: UsePDK=No fixes FPS Display, now it shows 30 as it should. I'm not sure if this is a good news for Pete though. Thanks.

Thomas, I couldn't find UsePDK= line anywhere in FSUIPC pdf files, where did you get it from? Do you run WideClient on a networked PC, don't you? This is really very odd in my case, as the counter shows exactly 1/3 of the actual FPS. I have 3 client PCs Win10 and 2xWin7, they all show 1/3 of the actual FPS.

Under which section in FSUIPC should I need to add this Switch? Just curious what will change? Thanks,

Pete, my aircraft (either FSL A320 or Default F22 or some Carenado simple a/c) are sitting on the ground, doing nothing, On and Off. The FPS count on FPS display is exactly 1/3 of the actual number. As if it needs to insert some simple factor 3 in the formula. I never had a problem or any oddities with it before v4.2 Thanks,

Hello, This is a small Lua I use for AI number and FPS display on a wideclient: -- Create the display window for 4 values, position x=800, y=400 h = display.create("My next display", 2, 800, 400, DSP_TOPMOST) -- Update the display at 500 msec intervals (see event at end) function mytimer(time) -- display 1 = frame rate fr = ipc.readUW(0x0274) if fr ~= 0 then fr = 32768/fr end fr = math.floor((fr * 10) + 0.5)/10 display.show(h, 1, "Frame Rate " .. fr .. " fps") -- display 2 = number of AI traff = ipc.readUD(0x025C) display.show(h, 2, "AI Number " ..traff) end -- Adjust timing to taste: 500 = 1/2 second event.timer(500, "mytimer") AI number display works OK, as in the past versions, but FPS display shows 1/3 of the real value. So, for example, in my scenario on the main display my current FPS count is 30, whereas Frame Rate display shows only 10 fps. This lua has worked since many versions ago, so it must be something in FSUIPC. Thanks,

What is PDK dll-type in P3D's books? Thanks
