Wind gauge animation factor

Post by NoelGlass »

Hi Steve

I have been playing around with the Wind gauge animation factor and wondered what the ideal figure is for a VP2 if there is one ?

I did have it on 2 which i think was default as don't remember changing it before but changed to 5 and seems a lot smother than before.

Thanks again

I have mine turned off, then it spends maximum time actually pointing at the current speed, and uses little CPU. If you set it too high it will be constantly on the move. The default is 2, yes.
