Tord Hoppe

Hi Peter and thanks for your reply. I´ve tried upping the transfer speeds and still get the same kind of stutter, albeit for shorter periods which seems to match the shorter data bursts. Since this does not occur when I instead feed my PDA via the USB port I think we can safely say that the graphics update in PocketFMS is the "culprit". Hope you had a nice vacation, bye!

Hi Peter and the rest. I´m using the GPSOut module along with the thingamajig that connects two COM ports so that I can run PocketFMS on the same computer as MSFS. Everything works just fine but there is one little thing that I find nagging. Connecting PocketFMS to the GPS(Out) signal causes a stutter in MSFS everytime a GPS "packet" is sent. I´ve tried different values for Interval (if I remember correctly) and the stutter seems to correlate, i.e. Interval=1000 results in 1 second intervals between the stutter, Interval=500 in half second and so on. Funnily this only occurs when I click on the PocketFMS button that tells PFMS to receive a GPS signal. I suspect that GPSOut constantly streams the "signal" and that indicates that it is PFMS that cause the stutter, perhaps an intermittent high processor load since the GPS "burst" means a map refresh in PFMS? Your thoughts? I´m going to experimen´t with different Interval and Baud rates in GPSOut to see what happens... Another funny little thing is that regardless of what baud rate I´ve set in the GPSOut.ini PocketFMS detects something like 38400 (not sure, at work right now). This is no big issue, just wanted to check if the expert has some thoughts as to what might cause the stutter.
