How can I check my framerate in Microsoft Flight Simulator?

Question

I finally got Microsoft Flight Simulator to run, and I want to figure out how badly it performs on my computer (the sim informs me every launch that my specs are sub-minimum). How can I check my framerate in the sim?

According to this guy, you can display the FPS of the game by pressing z:

Steam actually has a great built in FPS counter that is easier to read and friendlier than the built in FSX one (which is accessed by pressing Z on your keyboard)

You also have the option of using the Steam overlay (if that's where you bought it), some third party software such as FRAPS, or the overlay that comes from your GPU software (GeForce Experience or Radeon Overlay), as others have mentioned.
