Core Confusion!!! Any help please?

[Feuerfalke]

Thanks for posting, TX-EcoDragon!

I'd like to add, that this is NOT due to the DCS-Engine supporting multiple-core architecture. It is still the old LockOn-Engine, enhanced by modern DX-features and increased workload through physics, polygons and texture number and size.


Looking at the comments and pre-release statements, even ED didn't expect that advantage.

Yeah, just seems to be a pleasant fluke and by accident not design.....but its all good

Some interesting info here about MS hotfixes and such for Dual Core performance increases:

S!

These are fixes right at the time games were starting to take advantage of multiple cores and CPUs. FSX didn't even support multicore until SP1 which was like a year later. Note the dates on some of those subjects. They are 3 years old.
