Just wondering, does it make a difference which PC you use Air Manager and which you use Air Player on? I bought Air Manager recently, as I was going to only use it on my small 10.1" tablet/laptop for instrument panels. I have now bought a larger 15.6" touchscreen monitor, so that I can fit a bit …

Agree, custom layouts are the way to go. I actually just decided to pick up a second of these 15.6" screens though. So I’m gonna have 8 instruments on one, making each instrument 480 by 480… very easy to see and use any dials etc. This will go in the middle on the table in front, just above/ behin…

That looks nice. I’m planning a similiar setup. Unfortunaly the 16 inch screen I’ve ordered was a faulty one and now I’m in the process of returning that one and getting a new. One question: do you use DX11 or DX12? I’ve tried with DX12 and the framerate are better than DX11 when popping out the PF…

I use DX11. I lose frame rate globally if I enable DX12, even without popouts. It’s an instant 15 fps loss and it introduces horrible stuttering across the board. The stutters on their own make it a horrible experience. If I pop out anything with DX12, I drop to about 15 fps with even worse stutter…

Dx11 here too. I found that the normal frame rate with dx12 was about even as dx11, but I’d get regular drops with dx12 where the whole sim would basically freeze for a second or two then recover. Prefer dx11 for a more consistent frame rate. Interesting to see that dx12 might help with popout tho…

Ok, thanks for your reply. :slight_smile:

Interesting… one of my touch screens IS connected to the iGPU…as my 3080ti has 3dp ports, but only 2hdmi… for flight sim I’m not worried about fps above 60, so I use hdmi to my 4k OLED telly, hdmi to one of the touchscreen monitors and then the other touchscreen hdmi from the igpu… so sound like I m…

Popping the Garmin screen from the cockpit still drops FPS to 30.

Tried it earlier. No matter what monitor, gpu or igpu…fps still cut in half. Hopefully, as you say, ms will carry on working towards improving dx12… for now though, I’m gonna stick to dx11 for consistency, with no pop outs, using lnm for navigation.
