We are looking to someday allow rendering to happen on other threads, but not by letting you launch a ton of threads – the model will be that you can schedule a job in our thread pool so we don’t oversubscribe the CPU. You’d get the win though if the user has spare CPU coers.

You don’t have to tell me this isn’t optimal – you’ve mentioned this before more than once. But can you give me an idea of just how non-optimal it is, in terms of performance? Conversion is a cost/benefit thing, especially in the payware world.

Overall this is very exciting stuff. Cockpit elements have come a very, very long way since I started during X-Plane 9!!
