This is an abbreviated version of Frames per Second, or FPS. While the data

feedback on how your computer is performing at any given time. The higher
the frames per second, the smoother the simulation will appear.

Radio
The on-screen radio display is useful for many facets of flight. For example, when
used in conjunction with Virtual Flight Instruction, this allows you to see real-time

movements and aircraft performance will advance your knowledge and understanding
of a maneuver.
