in the recent update there’s an option for limiting frame rate which i understand is to increase battery life but what’s limiting frame rate exactly?

Limiting frame rate means to lower it. It slows down the number of frames per second displayed on your screen. It could lower quality a bit, but save battery.

So it’s advisable not to lower it though it will drain the battery more…

Let me put it very very simply :P

Limit Frame Rate = Your Device is not working full power

Unlimited Frame Rate = Your Device is working it’s a** off.

Usually in games there is a “Half” option, where the Frame Rate is limited to a high number.

Hope this helps.

You just said if you lower it it’ll become more laggy![quote=“Captain_Skywalker, post:5, topic:28165”]
but if Infinite Flight lags quite a bit for you, it’s also recommended you lower i

I find this statements contradicting!

The video quality might be a bit lower. But your device’s processor won’t be working as hard, so it might make it less laggy. A few tradeoffs. I recommend just trying it and seeing what’s best for you.

Can the developers answer what rate it’s capped at if you enable that option?

I believe its 60 when not limited and 30 when limited.

30 isn’t too bad in terms of lagginess, but a lot of devices do 30 on a good day, the battery savings of that cap might be limited on lower end devices then.
