So I’m wondering how many cores is optimal? In other words, is it a case of the more the better, or is something like a 5600x (6 cores) enough?
Threads don’t depend on cores.
Even at Idle Windows is running around 300 Processes and around 2800 Threads, depending on O/S Age and Installed software.

Introduced DCS: Black Shark 3 by Eagle Dynamics!
The main goal is to give the already well-known Ka-50 attack helicopter new features which expand the gameplay.
Key features:
- A Missile Warning System for warning about the launch of missiles at a helicopter has been developed.
- The possibility of using Air-to-Air Igla missiles has been implemented.
- A realistic model of an Inertial Navigation System has been developed, which has the properties of a real one: it requires alignment before the flight and accumulates an error. The error of INS coordinates can be fixed in flight by previously assigned landmarks as fixpoints.
- New, more accurate and detailed 3D helicopter model using modern technologies and materials.
Introduced new campaign:
- DCS: F/A-18C Rise of the Persian Lion II Campaign by Badger633
DCS World
- Fixed: AI F-14B doesn’t seem to use LANTIRN pod.

Here’s the Funny Part,
I know a group of over 2,000 users that stayed behind in the Blackshark 1.12 and Blackshark 2 1.1.1.0 Builds and boycotted DCSW (They felt betrayed by the move to DCSW Platform or some such anti-merge w/ A-10C).
They are all moving to BS3, Hopefully not expecting to run DCSW2.8 on a Potato rig from 2010.

I still have the old A-10C and BS1 install files before the merger so I feel their pain. January 2009 is when I began in my DCS deep dive. Surely these are worth something, right? 
Back in the day, we had to download the files via a torrent. Kids these days just click update DCS and it’s all done automatically.

Anyone else having the issue that they can no longer remove hardpoints from the Huey? They show off in mission editor but as soon as you load in the helicopter has everything on it.
edit, I just noticed its even overriding @EightBall’s addons for custom payloads. With the Huey being one of my main go to’s this hurts…

Yeah, apparently it’s no longer possible to spawn without the hardpoints…
This method still works though:
You can find the custom liveries to remove/add the hardpoints here: Pylons ON OFF liveries.zip - Google Drive
Performance seems pretty dang good on my box. I already got it tweaked such that the previous patch was fine, but now looks even smoother.
Man that new blackshark model is sweet! It tickles the plastic modeller in me something fierce to see those panels open up. Well worth the tenner that!
