Measuring FPS

[coolts]

How can I get the FPS onscreen? I am tweaking performance after the latest beta patch-patch.

I've seen the answer here somewhere but now can't find it

Assign a key to "Show Console".
In game hit your newly assigned key to show the console. Then type fps START SHOW. Capssensitive.

Now guess what the command is for hiding the fps counter?

Cheers, that worked. Are there any good performance tweaking guides you would reccomend?

Hey TC
You need to assign a key to the consol in the options..it isnt assigned by default. Then bring it up and type "fps START SHOW " its case sensitive without the quotations.

Almost

fps STOP HIDE

And since most of us are more focused on checking our fps in order to optimise our rig than playing the game, this may be of help, too:

FPS Counter. Easy way for switching on and off


If you are bored typing fps SHOW START every time:

I realised we have many new members who are not able to sing the two pages of conf.ini by heart (shame!) so you may find this of use:

In the same directory as the conf.ini (the famous MyDocuments/ etc etc...)
Find the file RCU
Open it with the text editor
at the bottom add following lines of text:


@a aa fps SHOW START

@a ab fps HIDE STOP

aa

save and close

From now on, if during the game you decide to start the fps display, press Shift-TAB, type aa press enter, exit with Shift-TAB. The fps measurement will appear on your screen.
To remove it, repeat the procedure typing ab
Of course, if you have the Console Information Window open, you can type the command there.
The last line aa in the RCU file spares you from all the work, with it every time you start the game you have thefps measurement displayed automaticaly (you can remove it of course if you do not want this).

S!

Also the old IL-2 commands fps START SHOW and fps STOP SHOW work just fine.
