If this is possible, please assist me

Hi JapanFred
I started a thread on tjhis subject at http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... php?t=3247
Using the timer in the posted code (zip file) you can limit the game to whatever FPS you require - BUT - although it limits the FPS it does not lead to a smooth gfx update. - as my example is using scrolling its very evident - with an ISO with no scrolling it might be ok.

The CVS at http://www.irrlichtnx.mmdevel.de/ now contains a nice fix for locking the frame rate to that of your monitor !
It is only win32 / openGL only at the moment.
It is done by driver->setVSync(bool) and will limit the frame rate as you require. Idea for 2D drawing!
