There is a reason for this.

Thank you for your time

Whether this justifies 4 cores now, I don’t know. In the future we’ll be doing more multicore stuff, I am sure…it is the way of the industry. How soon, I do not know…recoding for threading is a non-trivial change!

Do you have any clues concerning multithreading, multicore support?
4 core cpu’s are spreading the market at < 250 $ ...
Would be nice if x-plane could benefit on the long run.
Just my 2 cents,
jimmy

But if v9 comes with new global scenery (and I think it will) it would be better to use the new scenery.

I’ve been hanging on for nearly a year for these so I can go an fix a lot of issues with airport layouts etc, but at the moment, it’s just not happening.
