See article below. Note reference to Lockheed Martin. Maybe in 4.5? https://mashable.com/article/htc-vive-pro-eye-and-cosmos-ces-2019/#NxJ7VDFqN5qN

Well it’s Sunday. Although I kind of doubt it, the prediction from earlier posts say change log will be out today. With tomorrow being Columbus Day, we probably will not see change log until release?

LM has officially announced the reddit event tomorrow and also said new information available before hand? https://www.prepar3d.com/news/2017/09/114513/

I would also like to know the answer to these questions.

Jim thank you for a very complete response. I have just visited the hardware forum and better understand the logic. Terry

I have noticed recently that topics discussing how various hardware may or may not affect P3D are being moved to some hardware forum? I disagree with this. I look in the P3D forum for information on the best hardware/drivers to use with simming and would never see something like that buried in a hardware forum. I understand that there can be close calls but if the thread is discussing impact on P3D it should be left in the P3D forum! Thanks Terry

What I read is 18 actual cores so 36 with hyper threading. Not sure size of market for it but if it gets the job done?

Intel has a utility/driver Intel turbo boost max that directs app to the strongest core which the newer system identify and label in bios. You can also overclock this core more than the the others. I understand the new I9 chips will identify the top two cores.

Intel just announced a new line of CPU with up to 18 cores. I think I read that Rob said version 4 was using all the cores in his CPU. Maybe version 4 really improved the multi thread usage. If so, these new chips will really be good for simmimg.

Great question. I would also like to know the answer.

I had the same issues with a 65" 4K and a ton of goflight. I then went to VR and the 4K and goflight are gathering dust. With VR you can replace $5,000 to $10,000 worth of hardware with $500 hmd.

I have been considering adding a card and going to sli. Does this fix improve the functionality of sli? I had read before that before the problems that sli did not add much and wondering if this fix improved that or just corrected errors caused by previous hot fix and older drivers? Thanks Terry

I forgot to mention there is a Vjoy plugin on the VA site that also works for having VA send virtual button pushes which are defined in Spad.Next as it also sees Vjoy sticks. Terry

Yes you can do this with Spad.Next which has a plugin for Voice Attack that works. I have used it and confirms that it works. In addition you can send a command from VA to Spad.Next which has logic and direct access to standard events and variables as well as Lvars and self created local variables.You can get it here https://www.fsgs.com/pages/landing-page/.

I have both and have used both with Flyinside. I recommend the Rift as better for sim with P3D. IMHO the screen is a good bit better as I can read all the dials and frequencies without leaning in. Since you are not moving around most of the pluses for the Vive go away. Terry
