I have a really dumb question;
for FMC do I have to lookahead the solution of the cube while I am doing it or can I turn the cube to keep up with where my solution is going?
that's been the biggest thing that has been keeping me from attempting any FMC and I want to start
thanks

You can scramble and solve as much as you want and can use up to 3 cubes.

3 moves or three cubes?

With FMC it's not time based as a normal 3x3 solve. You're allowed to do as many turns as you want to see how it affects the rest of the cube. The only things that matter is that you have a solution that works and you do it within an hour. And as @Arcanist said, you can use 3 cubes to help keep track of your solution. Probably what would be good is maybe using one for the normal scramble and one for the inverse, and one for your main solution.
In short, FMC is nothing like a timed 3x3 solve. You don't need any lookahead, as you aren't attempting to solve it as fast as possible but in as few moves as possible.

I might be dropping CFOP for Roux because I have a faster base TPS in Roux (sitting on about 4.5), rather than (3.5) for Cfop and relying on wv and weird algs executed fast. just a thought for now, but I do need to work on my blocks for Roux, thats what kills me

Woah I also know lots of WV and Weird algs, I think you may need a better cube or smithy 3 TPS is abysmal

I average 14.6 with cfop, its the pausing that slows my TPS because majority of the solves ive watched on my own, I have like one full second of pauses throughout.
