Yeah so what's happening is that the dials are registering very quickly in the sim. It's the info coming back and the new values being dispkayed in the Window on tge SD+ that's taking time. It's to be expected I guess, as it depends on your system and how many you have connected.

Hi there. Yeah... what is actually happening is the number on the strip above the dial sometimes lags. The numbers change immediately in the sim... say Heading in the MCP... but the new number on the SD + screen will update a second or 2 later. And the faster I spin the dial the more it happens. Net result is that it's better to watch the numbers change in the sim rather than on the SD. But as I said, it varies and often depends on what else is going on in my enormous collection of USB devices 🤣 My new cable being plugged directly into its own port has improved it noticeably, but not massively. Hope that makes sense.

Doesn't responsiveness and Performance equal the same thing ?

So if I increased the refresh rate is that likely to send data TO my SD display faster ... and thus minimise the lag in updating ? Thnx again.

I wondering is reducing the refresh rate of my other SDs... Mk2 and XL... which display stuff like airspeed and weather etc... the SD+ may be a little more responsive ?

Thnx for that. Are there any settings I can change such as refresh rate in the A and Ohs config files... and what affect does that gave ?

OK guys ... so I've experimented and thought I'd share, as I started all the moaning ! 😁 I got a very good quality 3m USB cable with extremely high Gen 2 (20) bandwidth for data... AND up to 500mA/100W power capacity. I shoved this into a direct USB Gen 2 port direct to motherboard. This should remove cable deficiency from the equation. I then turned the other 2 SDs off, uskng just the Plus. When it came to using the dials for adjusting Alt, CRS and Heading etc., it turns out that the affect on the MCP setting is INSTANTANEOUS ! So that's good. What IS still lagging though, is the info coming back to the SD+ display in the Strip window. It does tend to lag a bit... so it paused at say 300 degrees for a few seconds, then jumps to wherever it is is at that point, in the MCP dislay in the aircraft... say 339. TBH though given there is bi-directional transfer of data going on all over the place it's hardly surprising. So it's good as it going to get. However, the lag is MUCH less now I have the Plus on it's own dedicated USB channel with a good cable.

Thnx. I have a 3-metre super powerful 20 quid cable arriving later. Importantly it carries power 100W / 500mA... and it's USB C gen 3.2 (20) for data. It's designed for VR stuff apparently. No doubt overkill but it will at least remove the "limitation" of the powered-hub element. IF it improves... I'll add other stuff back into the mix until it doesn't any more. Hopefully I'll improve things. But TBH I'm thinking that running 3 SDs and a bunch of button boxes all from one app, may be pushing it a bit. I've also got Saitek panels/radio run by Spad.next ... I guess the entire USB system can only cope with so much data, before stuff starts to queue up ? Thnx !

Hmmm... I'm currently about to try different cables and direct routing rather than using powered hubs. Been thinking it may affect it.

So I have 3 SD's but use the Plus as an AP in MSFS. Quite often, if I'm adjusting a dial... say for Heading ... there is a freeze and a few seconds wait, and the value has changed by 10 or 15. Are there any settings that improve this "queuing up" effect ? Thnx

Hello. Do you have any idea how to toggle the GPS/NAV switch found in many GAs that often syncs with the CDi softkey in the Garmin GNS OR GTNs ? I'm using a Mk2 and an XL and have Axis and Ohs AND FSUIPC. Can't find anything close. Thnx.

What an utter faff. You do know there are actual apks for tablets out there that does this properly ? I hate to think what the lag is like.
