After playing a few hours, FPS drops from 40 to 5FPS

Just an update to say this decreasing fps problem isn’t fixed in WU8. What I do notice is something with my CPU cores. At the start of this 3 hour flight all 12 cores had nicely balanced workload.

However, now the fps is dropping off, the last core is almost at 100% cpu utilisation, and the other cores have dropped off in utilisation. I thought this historic (FSX) busy last core problem was supposed to have been coded out of the sim last year in one of the SU releases (5?), but it still seems to be appearing in long flights.

Interestingly, this particular flight is currenlty way over the ocean at night, so you would think there was less work for the sim to do with no landscapes to draw…
