Hi John,
Thanks for your response. I am perplexed though. I've tried every other aircraft and the steam gauge 172 is the only one to exhibit this concern. These two events run like a high speed ticker tape. From the moment I click "FLY", until I exit the program or select another aircraft in the World Map. It doesn't matter where I go in the program; be it the Marketplace, Profile, wherever.
I'm assuming the number on the left is a running total of logged events. if so, it's reached over 1.5 million events in the time it's taken me to write this post. I've also noted that if I am logging the issue with the FSUIPC console that the computer will stop responding once the event number reaches about 4.5 million. This can't be right. That's got to be a lot of CPU usage for nothing.
I'm going to try reinstalling the aircraft to see if that helps.
