Dual Core CPU's? Still a problem w/ LockOn?

[4c Hajduk Veljko]

Well, i said Falcon AF (Allied Force) and despite the age of the code base

i would say it's modern - enough differences to the original Falcon 4.0 from 1998.

That’s all right. The core game engine is still the same or very similar. I did not play Falcon AF so I can not comment much.

 

And if you think that Lomac is modern i'm appalled by the fact that it doesn't

support multiple cores/cpu.

I completely agree with you. Not only that it does not support multi core/CPU systems, the graphics is DX 8.1. So while Lock On calls itself Modern Air Combat, the core code does not utilize modern PC technologies.

 

And that for a sim that comes along so cpu hungry - oh really, a modern design.

Hwg, the mission concept (player/client etc) didn't change :D

You are absolutely right. I, as well as few others have talked about this in the past. I also would like to see Lock On code optimized for multi core/CPU technologies. However it is not and ED never mentioned they will do anything about that.

Actually, it has 12 threads in the main menu, and 13 in-game. Doesn't mean multi-core will help much as most of these threads may be very unactive.

You can verify this using the Windows Task Manager (select View \ Select Columns ... and check the Thread Count option).

 

Flanker 2.51 has 9 threads in the main menu, 10 in-game.

 

I stand corrected :)
