No GSX. I will try running P3D with the clean .cfg file tomorrow and see if it makes a difference, thank you for the suggestion

I am using P3Dv5.2 downloaded from LM about three weeks ago. No software for controlling the screens, just undocking and dragging windows from the main screen to the 4 used for the instrument displays. I updated my nvidia drivers yesterday to the latest version as well, but it didn’t have any impact.

I have been running a cockpit with 5 displays: two on an RTX 3060 (main display and one MIP display) and a GTX 1070 (three cockpit displays). Everything running great until one day, I forgot to turn on one of the screens before loading P3Dv5. The main screen loaded into one of the cockpit displays. I closed P3D and turned on the screen that was off and reloaded P3D. My frame rates dropped to between 4-8 after this mishap (from 30). For the last three days I can’t get the frame rates above about 8fps without closing all of the undocked windows making up the cockpit displays. If I load everything on the main screen, I lose about half of my frame rates with each new window I undock and drag to a different screen. It doesn’t seem to matter which aircraft I load or if there is any add-on scenery: as soon as I undock a window and drag it to another monitor the frame rate drops in half. Not sure where to go from here because everything was working fine until a few days ago...what setting could have changed when I forgot to turn on one of the monitors?

I am using six BU0836X cards in a large sim strategically scattered throughout the overhead, pedestal, and behind the MIP. LINDA has been instrumental in making it all work, but I do have a headache and am hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Occasionally I will have to unplug one of the cards to change a pot, or I'll get some sort of driver error with a card (not LINDA related) and I will have to shut down and restart everything. Now the next time I start P3D and LINDA, two of the BU0836X cards will have swapped assignments within LINDA. Is there a way to keep this from happening? Most of the time, I can restart the computer again and everything goes back, but I have had a few times where I had to reprogram all of the buttons on two of the cards. Each BU0836X card stays plugged into the same USB port; that never changes.

I can't find the fuel x-feed or the rudder hydraulic power/manual switches (both on the pedestal). Are these modeled, but I am missing them, or are they not included? I can't find anything comparable in FSUIPC.

Round analog EPR gauges (DC-9 era) would be incredibly helpful for my cockpit build.

FlightAware is only useful for flights that originate in the USA. They advertise that it's really only for flights that takeoff and land in the USA, but you can usually get good international routes from flights that depart the US.
