Thanks. Much appreciated.

Has anyone piggy-backed a realityXP gauge to drive the G1000 yet? I am waiting for feedback on how it works before pulling the trigger; I read a post over on Avsim forum that stated the user had an issue with the G/S not acquiring or locking on during a WAAS approach...Ryan?

Yes, Ryan. I did that with the Cirrus they put out a few months ago. I know I can, but why should I have to? They make great exterior models, with excellent-looking avionics that have *default* functionality? Just ranting. Don't mind me. I never expected anything more than what has been released anyway...but one can always hope to be surprised...

Did they add LPV capability? If not, it is a waste of money for me...I have enough 'eye candy' to last me years.... ....edit....just checked the product page. Still no updateable AIRAC, LPV/WAAS capability, etc... Sorry, but this one is a 'pass'. looks really really nice on the outside though. Should make for some great screenshots. lol.

Looks like it sets things up according to your computer.......... here's their blurb: Xtreme P3D Booster has been designed keeping in mind the thousands of possible hardware configurations. The special software analyzes your computer hardware in depth (CPU, GPU, memory, hard disc speed and etc.) and sets a number of documented and undocumented tweaks to the correct values that is optimal for your PC. No technical knowledge is needed. Just execute Xtreme P3D Booster, then Prepar3D and enjoy it with the maximum frames and smoothness you can get from your PC without changing any of your Prepar3D sliders. While some tweaks have been posted at many forums, many of them can not work for anyone. Tweaks are values that configure Prepar3D internal code options. So, if you just copy a tweak with the value, Prepar3D will slow down or became unstable if this value is not suitable for your PC. Of course, many tweaks are tied together, so, if one tweak value is ok and the other is not, then the result will be the same. There are almost 10 important tweaks that needs to be calculated exactly and all of them need a lot of calculations. So, the maximum calculations can be millions. That's why we are using computers and software's. Computers do those calculations for us in just some milliseconds and not days, months, years. This is what Xtreme P3D Booster can do for your Prepar3D. Give the maximum from Prepar3D code. So, at every execution, Xtreme P3D Booster while reading all of your current hardware will do special calculations about the tweaks that need to apply for your Prepar3D.

update: getting a curvature/distortion left and right edges of monitor that diminish in flight (or I just get used to it).........landings appear to be faster, visually. Could be my 27" monitor. FPS excellent (30 ++), occasional "stutter" has disappeared.

I'm computer illiterate but I'll do my best: sticker on the side says AMD 6 core 2.8 ghz, 8 gig ram, and 1 gig integrated graphics. I'm running Windows 7.

.................................Great idea, Bill !!! Thanks

Sorry.......accessing the ATC window was the question. It's easy to drop down from the menu, but I thought there was a "button" on the panel.
