how can I restrict the fps?

[kTecH]

Hi folks!

I want to restrict the frames per second to max 40 (no matter how fast my machin is)
Anyway it can run slower but never faster - how can I do that?

best regards

You can use VSync to max the fps out at 60.

Better: Use TVEngine.EllapsedTime. Declare a variable counter that is a float. Each Loop increment that variable by TVEngine.EllapsedTime*0.001. When that variable gets to 1/40, render the scene, then reset the counter.

Alternatively you can create a timer event for it. Declare System.Timer object, set the interval (delay between frames so you pass (1/40) * 1000 to it for 40FPS), then write your Render Sub to handle the tick event.
