Have tested how many processes open fsX??. Uses (at least) two processors of dual core?

Well, I have dual core in my laptop, and I guess it works. One interesting thing I found is that I can run FRAPS (video capture program) without turning down my graphics settings...I can't do that in FS9.

Well if they support Multi-Core than atleast it's not balanced very well, normally every CPU should have the same amount of work to do:http://img107.imageshack.us/img107/1896/bild2ly6.png

1.5GB PF? That's not good news.

I think he has it set fixed at 1.5

No, I don't use a PF at all, but use a special RAMDISK to run Windows out of RAM. I use Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP2 x64 with 4x Xeons.Don't worry about the PF value, has nothing in common with a normal Windows XP setup.The FSX Demo eats about 550MB RAM.Anyway, it seems this Demo is in no way optimized for Dual- or Multi-CPU use. Still the same single-Core stuff like always ...Maybe the FSX-Team should contact the Visual Studio 2005 / C++ Team, as with Microsoft VC++ there exists a technology in the compiler called "OpenMP" which allows to make your "old" code to run on Multi-CPU systems just with some #pragma tags. Easy stuff. OpenMP scales as high as CPU-Cores are installed in your system. Fly FSX, fly to the other campus building straight ahead ... :)

Tdragger can you verify whether or not multi-core CPUs are in the demo?

The demo code is the same as the full product. As for the multi-core issue I think I've beat that to detah in other threads. There's nothing magical about multi-core that will ensure all your cores are maxed out all the time, especially an application that has a hard constraint on a foreground render loop. Only so much stuff can be scheduled and offloaded to background threads before they have to yield to allow time for the main process. Flight Sim is not a web server or database.

I tested (finally ;-)). in my system : Dual xeon at 3.0 and confirm all responses ... :-(.Only one process (fsx) has launched by simulator... no advantatge on systems with multiple processors (or dual cores) . (well... can run other aplications...but my system runs at 50% like fs9).I have four monitors for external views (two pci express graphics cards with nview), and three monitors for panels and gps , with fs9 (normal scenery) my system run at 20-25 fps), in fsx i think that is impossible...:-((((

TerraBay,What FSX Demo are you using? That looks like an A3XX you're flying. That's not in the Demo I downloaded.SD

Maybe you could beat it to death just one last time on your blog so you can just point people to it the next 581 times it comes up. ;)

You can load your FS2004 aircraft.

To what folder? I did not see an Aircraft folder under the main FSX folder.SD

its inside another folder whos name escapes me. just search in the directory

That would be simobjectsairplanes
