IL-2 Cliffs of Dover Cliffs of Dover Optimization and Performance Thread

I'm having a heck of a time getting the "fps Show Start" thingy to work.
I can't get it to display the numbers in real time.
When I type it in the box, lower left hand corner, it seems to indicate that it recognizes the command, then nothing is displayed. Help needed?

Anyway, here are the results of the most recent 3D Mark11 tests :

I'm willing to TS3 in case I'm too dull witted to understand a written instruction. Thanx again.
