G5 frame rate and features

HI,

I decided to purchased G5 and installed it to BN-2. After installation I have notice significant fps drop. Is there any way to optimize it?

 

Also I own real G5 that is installed in my 172. I have noticed that power button in your version doesn't work. In real life short press on power button goes to brightness menu (bar below PFD). I used this a lot especially when I fly at night . From the right seat perspective G5 is very dim, and when brightness is set to auto so I always adjust it manually up. Will you implement those features at some point of time? Thanks

Regarding frame rate, all of the G5 drawing is done on a separate thread, then the pixels are copied over during the gauge drawing callback. The library we use for drawing has an update in testing that would allow for asynchronous uploading of these textures to the GPU which should help a bunch with performance, idealy reducing the G5 to near zero for non-thread-limited CPUs. 

Regarding the dimming function, that is currently not implemented, but it is a highly requested feature so we have it on the list!
