Nothing noticeable: the performance knock comes mainly from all the texture work, which has to be done whether the gauges are moving or not. The hit's very small if you have AGP enabled (and sufficient texture memory); if you disable AGP or have limited texture memory on your GPU, life will be tricky. Lower-resolution gauge textures might help a bit.

Because of the nature of 3d graphics we need to re-draw the panel every frame. Besides, in real life, the instruments are re-drawn more than a couple times a second. :-) Curt. -- Curtis Olson IVLab / HumanFIRST Program FlightGear Project Twin Cities[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minnesota http://www.menet.umn.edu/~curt http://www.flightgear.org ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
