Probably so...
One thing that folks should know is that any WAAS GPS requires an Autopilot capable of flying a WAAS Approach.

gajit - can you get the Iris D42 out of mothballs and see if this works for you?
I also have problems with the glass cockpit re. fps.
Have been flying with everything electrical I can click turned on and then power off switch (shift/e). Hits my taget framerate every time, night flying have to depend on map function. As you suggest, it's not the plane, it's the panel, more specifically, the glass gauges.
I searched for panel.cfg stuff, and found 'update_rate=6'. (default is 18mgz)
I put this into every window entry in the panel.cfg and it seemed to help, especially on external views.
Still sucked a bit, then tried 2. Much better on external view and just a bit jerky inside, but then again, on my 3rd beer.
Hope this helps.

Actually Paul it is more the plane than the gauges...specifically the DA-42 uses a lot of excess draw calls which puts a massive strain on my rig especially.
I'm working on an update to the 42 like we did with the 40 to make it perform better on a larger variety of systems..
No ETA though.

No update yet?
When you said 'too many draw calls', still don't understand why it works fine if electrical is off.
You mean too many draw calls in the gauges?
Don't mean to sound ornery, but sounds like there was a defect when it went to sale.
Advise would be appreciated, thanks.
