Ratio limits of fibonacci-like series

+5
−0

Definition

$F_{n}\left(0\right)=0$

$F_{n}\left(1\right)=1$

$F_{n}\left(x\right)=n\cdot F_{n}\left(x-1\right)+F_{n}\left(x-2\right)$

For example:

$F_{1}=\left[0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89...\right]$

$F_{2}=\left[0,1,2,5,12,29,70,169,408,985...\right]$

$F_{3}=\left[0,1,3,10,33,109,360,1189,3927...\right]$

Challenge

Given n, find the limit of the ratio between consecutive terms, correct to at least the first 5 decimal places.

Test Cases

1 -> 1.61803...
2 -> 2.41421...
3 -> 3.30277...
4 -> 4.23606...

Scoring

This is code-golf. Shortest answer in each language wins.
