Hi,

 

I have been trying to disable the Avidyne WX to gain more FPS but do not understand which lines to comment out.

I also wonder if I need two RealityXP, GNS 530W XP and if commenting out one will gain more FPS and if so, how?

The link shows my current instrumentation

 

Below is my panel.cfg

Comment out ( // ) all gauge lines in the Vcockpit04 section.

Hi Bert,

Thanks, I will get going with that. Whats your thoughts about the XP 530 and having two. Does two consume much more CPU cycles and do I need two?

Your choice.. replacing the Carenado GNS 2 by an RXP unit should be a simple change and may help in the performance department.  The Carenado GPS is all XML coded and slow.

BTW.. in the above cfg file, you have two Vcockpit01 sections.. you need to remove one of them!
