Is there some way to increase the update rate of the moving map in the default garmins in FS9 without killing my FPS?

My guess is (like about everything else in FS) it's system/CPU dependant. Get a faster system with more of everything, and the GPS refresh rate will increase accordingly. Dave

>"Gee, thanks, Yogi - er, Dave.":-lol Well, you did ask.For the record, the GPS really bogs my system down when it's displayed. During turns, the refresh rate is terrible. But then again, my system is a complete antique. PIII-1GHz, 512MB RAM, 32MB GF2 GTS. I would be curious how the GPS runs for folks with high end systems. Dave

Not brilliant, even with a 2.6 Mhz cpu.But there is an answer to this - forget the GPS, fly low and slow and navigate by maps :-) Yep, I know, it's a bit old fashioned but it adds a lot more interest.David

There is also another answer to this: use the only supported and compliant GNS530 simulation available from here: www.reality-xp.comHope this helps!

>But there is an answer to this - forget the GPS,Good advice. Why would anyone want to fly with the GPS that have 1/2 functionality missing, knobs missing, poor graphics. The only thing common with the real unit is the "Garmin" trademark on its box. You would have to pay me $$$ to even touch this mother of all fakes ... :-lol Michael J.http://www.reality-xp.com/community/nr/rsc/rxp-higher.jpg
