    Switching from a g2n to g3n for use with 360?

    Hey new to the forum.

    I'm running 360 on a helix 9 g2n and as most of you know, when you split screen with 2d, 2d suffers. Do you think this issue is fixed in the new g3ns? If not I'm just going to buy another helix strictly for 360. Also will there be any other advantages to running the 360 on a g3n unit?

    I wonder when the 360 will be upgraded to MEGA? It's bound to happen sooner or later.

    Well I tried it today. I got a helix 10 g3n and 2d bogs down when in split screen with 360. Anyone have any input about this?

    Yeah I went up to 8 to make it look normal. I talked to tech support today and they said they haven't heard of this?

    I think it has been a known issue for at least four years.

    Does this only happen when the same unit is used on split screen? If I have a separate unit for just 2d is it impacted by the 360 running on the other unit?

    You are fine on a seperate unit. What bums me out is that i have a g3n 10 i use for the new chirp and that means my g2n 9 has to run 360 :( the opposite of how i want it lol.
