Automatik has done an awesome job on this. Everyone currently using ArduPilot with telemetry should consider upgrading. We're going to switch to this as the official GCS just as soon as we get the beta test feedback.

Bravo Automatik!!!

Not to mention it looks really sleek and neat. I hope it functions as well as it looks. Great job Automatik

The application consumes 1.5x 3GHz processors right after starting, Google Earth opens in a separate window.
Even after closing GE the problme remains, window moving takes up to 2s.
Previous versions work fine.
Windows XP Pro Pl Dual Celeron,
LVRTE90min.exe installed long time before and worked.
The problem exists BEFORE conencting to any COM port.

Yeah, there is something weird going on. The first time I ran it on WIn7, it ran fine. The second time it brought my system to its knees, as KrisB describes.

Agrrr...I can't replicate it on my computers at home ( Win Xp with i7 CPU, and old laptop Xp with Intel Core Duo).

will try on more boxes tomorrow...
my first *guess* is that it might have to do with display/monitor hardware acceleration settings...not sure about this, just a guess ( my settings are default...)

Looking great. I have two issues when running the program on my Sony Vaio laptop (Vista, Intel core duo 2,5 GHz 4GB Ram)

* The program has a size that doesn't show all the controls and it can't be rezised.
* The program eats to much CPU. Together with Google earth they use about 75% of the cpu.

The attached image illustrated both problems:

Just installed on WINXP Home Edition service pack 3

I have no hardware so not sure how relevent this is, but when I open Ardupilot (file installs as Allpha-R4 not Beta version) the window does not size correctly and cropping occurs like Magnus.

The same thing happens to me in my Aspire One (1024x600).
Although this is an awesome job:)

Cheers,
Dario.

It is awesome, it is Beta, so we understand. This is part of the fun of DIY.

Chris - Have you tried to change the windows environment it runs? Automatik says he's running XP and is not having the problem (Ron didn't say anything about the CPU, neither did Dario) and you and Mangus have newer versions of Windows...
