FPS Limiter - Documentation

[Kazinsal]

Our intent was not to reinforce the idea that going over 155 FPS is considered cheating. The problem literally was, as stated, that Freelancer has no framerate limit on Windows 10 and as a result, anyone playing on Windows 10 that doesn't know the weird mechanics of this ancient busted game engine will be jittering.

This is an automatic, mechanical solution to a bug in the game engine that shows up on 46% of Windows machines out there. We added in a flag that lets "power users" disable the limiter in favour of their own preferred limiter tool because we wanted to make that available (also handy in case someone has some strange machine that Freelancer doesn't like being self-limited on, which is something we've now been made aware of and verified in one case).

Again, this isn't "stopping jittering cheaters". The fact we're telling the whole world how to turn the limiter off is proof of that. It's "removing unintentional jitter in 99+% of cases".
