Increasing the MFD/HUD refresh rate on the F/A-18

Which is good for NYC, but still not enough to afford to increase the refresh rate of the instruments because, if you put it at 5, you'll start to impact into the 30 fps, and that would become noticeable. If you, instead, are running at 50, and you maybe lose 3-4 fps by going from 3 to 5 refresh, the instruments will still give you a very nice to look at 47 fps refresh.
The absolute ideal smoothness would be reaching 60 fps with the refresh at 5, and VSync active, so you'll have the refresh rate for both instruments and scenery exactly synched the monitor refresh, without any tearing effects.

Please forgive my ignorance but where is the "menu" and "page" you're referring to? Is it in the sim?
virtuali:
On any of the 3 MFD screens, there's a MENU option, that will return to the top MENU. I suggest to download THIS file here:

To understand how the menus are structured in the F-A/18 MFDs.

Hey is it possible to edit the .cfg in a way to always have the refresh rate at maximum? I have a very high end machine, and itd be nice if I didnt have to go into the BIT menu and change this every flight.

Virtuali,
I have two main questions (with sub-parts) about this:-
1. If users are able to alter this refresh rate, are these user selectable options ...
a). ...saved in a "state file" for future use/reloads somewhere (.xml/.txt file)?
b). ...just on the fly & need to be modified each time; therefore, can you grant permission to alter this for the former ability?
2. When clicking any of the OSB keys on the MFD's (DDI's) in the VC model some function is being implemented with identifier, parameters, variables within the .mdl files that are externally exchanged with the .dll gauge files, ...
a). ...what might those be? Do you have a map/list, perhaps somewhere in the SDK, which list those labels, tags, etc. from the .mdl's functions?
b). ...I guess what I'm asking for is the ability to intercept the push buttons of the DDI's in order to implement added functionality?
Since MS no longer supports FSX will this still be intellectual prosperity at all, without upsetting EULA? Not a GMAX modeler (at least not right now during this post) but attempting something and could use some FREE advise.
Ciao
