Limit of devices and host CPU impact

#1 Post by metaph3r »

Hi,

is there any limit to the amount of devices (Android or IOS) that Air Manager supports? What is the CPU impact on the host system running X-Plane when using Air Manager?

I don't really notice any impact if I run xplane and AM on the same machine but I guess that depends on your machine and the instruments you are running and the settings you have in xplane. A lot of users run AM on a separate instruments machine such as a lower spec PC or Raspberry Pi.

The biggest impact will be on the GPU, but still it's very little. Of course it depends on the type and number of instruments. Attaching more remote clients will have no mentionable impact.

I have it for the iOS but dont sync them across iCloud. I can try it when I get home tonight and see if I am seeing the same issue.
