It shouldn't be a tradeoff -- unless the FDM is doing something
extreme, like calculating airflow over a 3D model of the aircraft, the
proportion of time taken for FDM calculations should be too small to
register.  The frame-rate is limited by your 3D graphical hardware --
a faster FDM would probably just mean more idle time between frames.


All the best,
