Hi guys

 

As LOMAC is very CPU dependant, and given that single cpus arent going to get a lot faster than there are now - everyone is moving to multi-core setups - will LOMAC be recoded to run in a multi-threaded fashion? I think this would be an essential move to guarantee the longevity of LOMAC, and the underlying engine in future projects. It'll also help those guys (like me) who want to throw money at their pcs to get LOMAC running faster, but have nothing to buy.

 

When i first heard of the FC expansion, I have to admit i was sceptical, but now looking at whats been done with the new plane, I am seriously impressed...getting all tingly waiting for it now. Good job.

No, it won't, and coding it to do so at this point is much more of a hassle than it's worth AFAIK. It would also cause two versions to exist which means double the testing and debugging: One optimized for Single CPU, one for Dual or multi.

It'll have to be done at some point. If future pcs are going to be based on multiples of individually slower cores, then LOMAC and subsequent products could end up running slower on the new pcs.

Yes it'll have to be done ...but it will not be done in lomac :(

 

maybe in the next project from ED we can have dual or MULTI processed system or even an conded sim to use 64 bits system advantages

 

But my real dream is an sim that can use multiples processors from diferent machines and set what task all processors should take care

 

something i can set:

Processor 1 from machine 1 to control AI/FM

Processor 2 from machine 1 to control Advanced AVIONICS like radar\ecm\ground cluter etc...

 

Processor 1 from machine 2 to control wheater conditions to sea and sky

 

Processor 2 from machine 2 to air and ground units

 

but this is a dream maybe in a few years (10 or more) we can have this to domestic use
