LAG/FPS spikes with SPAD LVAR Bridge installed

During the first 5 minutes after starting a flight (going beyong ready to fly screen), the SPAD.neXt LVAR bridge will scan for new LVAR regulary. Depending on your system you might notice lagspikes, when this scanning occours. You can tweak the parameters how this scanning is done by editing the Parameters in Settings->Application->MSFS within SPAD.neXt

Name
Purpose

MaxLVarSearchTime

Time in minutes the bridge will scan for LVAR after flight is started

Increase it to look for LVAR longer

MaxDigBatch

Number of LVAR being scanned every frame

Decrease the value to reduce load on sim every fram.

MaxDigDepth

maximal number of LVAR that will be looked for
