Simulation Engine behind DCS:A-10C, specifically multi-core usage

[hannibal]

OK, just curious if any one can tell us about multi-core and the A-10C.

 

last i heard was that on DCS Black Shark, the simulation engine just basically used two cores and did not go beyond that.

 

If I recall also, the sound and graphics was handled by Direct X, so that portion of multi core usage will utilize as many cores available, because Direct X was under the Windows subsystem...

 

SO WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS, whats the deal??

 

will the simulation engine utilize all cores, if one had a quad-core, or hexa-core?

Last I heard 64bit is being implemented first (we may see this with A-10) before more Multithreading. As it is now, only the sound engine and DirectX itself are multicore aware.
