solved Extraordinarily high CPU usage

[Sn8ke]

Applied to MT and non MT. I have a relatively higher end system, and noticed in the Syria map I was getting intermittent stuttering and erratic FPS (persistently unstable +/-15 FPS. I did some quick trouble shooting and noticed DCS had my CPU running at 100%. Literally at peak temps even with water cooling, hot enough to where my office warmed to 80 degrees lol. So, I assumed this was just the Syria map, however this is indeed happening on other maps as well. No ai, just a cold and dark jet on an empty map, CPU always at 100%. I have an 8700K at 5.3GHz, 32GB RAM, and a 3090 RTX. Is this a known issue?

If your CPU is at 100% with non MT there is an issue on your end, maybe a virus, be sure there is nothing else than DCS running when playing the game, and if you get a lot of FPS your CPU will limit your FPS, your CPU is pretty old and in MT you might be limited to 120fps because of your CPU

Got it fixed, Hyper threading was off in BIOS, now it is on. CPU at 35-40% GPU>95%.
