MSFS Processor Usage

[Rob G 62]

Hi folks. Does MSFS still only use the last processor for the Main Thread? I had read about diverting all other work to processors other than the last and reserving the last for MSFS. Is this still relevent?

Thanks .... Rob

All my recent testing on my i7-9700K with an OC to 4.7 GHz  shows all eight cores are running at between 35% and 65% the entire time MSFS runs.  However, I do have Navigraph, FSR, Map Enhancement, FSLTL, GTN750NXi running so they may contribute a bit.   

Graphs are from takeoff on KSAN 9 in C414aw with no addons of any kind - 30 FPS.  I hit FLY NOW at the point on far left of the CPU graphs above where there is a sharp dip.  Prior to that point (left on the graph) the sim was busy loading.  All settings are High or Ultra with LOD at 200 and OLD at 150.
