Hi Glenn,

If you use the alternate view (F10) for outside the car, does it still stay at
28fps?

If so, its probably that the screen is syncing to your refresh rate.  You can
drop to 640x480 (you probably have a refresh of 60Hz or more which should get
you 30fps).  If this works, you *may* be able to increase your refresh rates up
to 72Hz for 36fps but don't go above your monitor specifications.  There is
probably a way to turn off the sync, but I don't know off the top of my head.

Jason.
