Until multicore CPUs are properly utilized, no progress can be made.

Just have to utilise them is all ...

?? Not sure what you mean. If the OS is better at utilising multicores, e.g. Windows 7, then fine. But if the program doesn't actually use DX10 then how does the "multicore load distribution optimisation of DX10" make any difference? So far my conclusion is that the A10 sim will not support multicore, nor will it utilise DX10.

OK, DX10 ... will the A10 sim support DX10.1?

This new A10 sim that's eventually coming out (I have faith) ... will it support multicore processors? What DirectX will it support? I'm about to upgrade to: Athlon 240 4GB RAM HD3850 Windows 7 Thus I would consider buying it if it can run at a decent FPS on my system.

So BS won't have multicore support? Then spending money on a new processor will be pointless.

SimHQ link still not working, so thanks Acedy! I'm getting 250Kb/sec.

Thanks for that! I thought 1.01 was the latest, but I patched to 1.02 and everyhting's fixed. :doh: :thumbup:

I'm trying to configure my X52 so that the slider on the throttle controls the cockpit zoom. In the input options screen I set the 'zoom view' axis to 'Slider0' but this doesn't seem to make any difference ... nothing happens when I use the slider in the cockpit. I know the hardware is good because it works in other games. I'm using 1.01. Any ideas?

Surely they're doing more than just that?

Is the intention behind this mod to increase fps, or to make the sky look better?

Cool, thanks guys. I just put my order in!

Can you say in what way it doesn't work properly? Is it unplayable? I'm thinking about getting a widescreen monitor, but before I do I need to know whether Flaming Cliffs will support it properly (I don't mind text edits as long as the aspect ratio of the image is correct and there's no artefacts like stretched instruments, etc.)

Man, I ordered EECH and the other one ages ago ... never got around to installing them. Perhaps now is the time!

Wow, those screenshots are sweet. Man, we are so close to the ideal, hopefully it will get fixed!
