Hello All,
Thank you for using newsgroup!
Based o my knowledge, I agree with Dustin Harper's opinion. FSX does take
advantage of multiple threads. You may follow these steps to check if it is
using the dual core.
1. Start the game, and then press the Windows logo key on the taskbar or
press "CTRL+ALT+DELETE" to open the Task Manager window.
2. Click on the Processes Tab
3. Right click "FSX.exe" process and left click on SET AFFINITY
4. Please confirm if the check marks for CPU 0 and CPU 1 have been checked.
5. Close the Task Manager window, and maximize the game.

| According to the ACES team in various FS forums, it does take advantage
of
| multiple threads. On my system, it uses more like 75%/25%.
