Author Re: FS2004 blurries -- is FSX multi-threaded?

The blog cited below mentions "fibers", which look like threads to me. If
they are threads then the OS should schedule multiple CPUs to deal with
them. However, some owners of FSX on multi-processor machines have
reported that all but one CPU is idle during flying. Can someone advise me
as to whether multiple CPUs (e.g. Intel dual core) would be an advantage
for running FSX, or should I opt for the fastest single processor machine I
can afford?
