Hi, This email rekindled an idea from a while back. Last year while working on the 747 sim with multiple projectors and a quad core CPU I experimented with setting up three instances of fgfs - one for each cpu, graphics card, and projector. The improvement in the frame rate was quite dramatic;

At FG start up (with Windows 7) I have very low frame rates (1-3fps) for a minute or two. After that the rate increases to about 40. Using Windows Task Manager I see that the CPU and memory usage are quite low during this slow period. However, switching to Windows Resource Monitor it is immedia
