Those of you waiting for improved performance prior to using FSX can now start enjoying a true multicore experience.

The DX10 patch is still in testing but ACES is saying it should be out later this summer.

Well .... I thought it was pretty significant news from a dual core utilization standpoint. IMO, it means that Microsoft is responding to hardware advances in an actual single application. Since I don't mess with other "games" I'm not aware of others that are actually able to utilize multiple cores in the application itself.

I see this as a significant evolutionaly step but maybe I just get excited too easily :lol:
