September 13, 201114 yr I have been running them off, but can't honestly say I've seen hard numbers showing any FPS savings even on my older system. Just the same, I've been keeping them off since my F/O never listens to me or laughs at my jokes. One little bug I noticed however...when you initially turn off the F/O displays, the F/O's CDU goes off too...as I would expect. But when you re-load a saved panel state with the F/O's displays off, the F/O's CDU is on. Personally, I like the F/O's CDU to be on regardless of the PFD and ND display state and think it should be that way in the upcoming SP. Chris Lundberg
September 13, 201114 yr Do you switch off the FO displays to save fps ? Best Karim FO displays ON all the time. The few fps aren't worth turning them off, and without FO displays the cockpit just looks crippled.Flying trackir and VC only, so I'd definitely miss the FO displays doing their work. Dave P. Woycek
September 13, 201114 yr I noitced an average 5 FPS decrease with them on, so I have them off :) Best Regards, Tristan Marchent - UK fATPL(A) - EMB 195 First Officer System: Intel i7-6700k Skylake CPU, 4 Cores (4.0-4.2GHz, Overlocked 20%), Asus Z170 PRO GAMING MBO, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 8GB, Corsair Hydro H80i V2 CPU Cooler, Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4 3200 C16 2x8GB, Windows 10 Home 64-bit (512GB M.2 PCIe SSD), Prepar3D V4.5 (1TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD), 4TB SSHD Hybrid Drive, EVGA GQ 80 PLUS Gold 850W Modular PSU
September 13, 201114 yr Interesting topic - I've had mine off but according to Ryan above, it may be worth turning back on - if nothing else, just for the VC looks/ambiance. I know, once my FS2Crew NGX FO is born and climbs out of his crib, I'll turn them back on so he/she has something to look at besides those pertty pertty clouds, LOL... Regards, Al Jordan | KCAE
September 13, 201114 yr I noitced an average 5 FPS decrease with them on, so I have them off :) I initially thought this too, but it turned out just to be a temporary frame rate drop from moving my mouse in the VC (an FSX issue) to turn the F/O displays back on. Try checking again and wait about 10 seconds to see if your FPS increases again after turning them back on and keeping your mouse still. I'd be curious to know--thanks. Chris Lundberg
September 13, 201114 yr Is the mouse pointer issue something that can be addressed, or is that just one of those things? <---------------> Mike Murawski
September 14, 201114 yr I too never saw a difference so I leave them on. 5800X3D - Strix X570-E - 32GB 3600Mhz DDR4 - AMD RX 9070 XT- Samsung 980 Pro x2
September 14, 201114 yr Is the mouse pointer issue something that can be addressed, or is that just one of those things? It apparently can't be addressed, but you see that tiny little square in the top left corner of the screen? When you're done using the mouse, just hove it over that, and you'll gain quite a bit more FPS.

September 15, 201114 yr Never use the FO display since i dont have any FO at this time But it could be different when FS2Crew release their product for NGX. Let see..

September 15, 201114 yr This mouse pointer issue has been the subject in another FSX version of 737NG,and can't be resolved without FSX code.
