About WASM and threads

Hello Guys,

This might be a really silly question, but I want to understand and be sure about something regarding MSFS + WASM thread management.

I understand WASM is single threaded at the moment, however I guess this is only per individual WASM module? in other words if I create multiple WASM modules for an aircraft, would each of them run on it's separate thread?

Or we are saying only 1 thread of MSFS will be handling all WASM modules for a particular aircraft?

Thanks in advance,

Simbol

Hi there,

Right now all WASM modules run on the main thread - this will be changed when WASM multithreading is made available but we might add an intermediate stage where multiple modules are run on different threads (not 100% sure about this yet).

Best regards,

Eric / Asobo

Thanks Eric,


Any rough ETA? It would help me to decide how to proceed with a project.

Hello @EPellissier ,


I don't want this question to get side tracked, but I have been wondering if there is any news on WASM multi threading?

Hello @EPellissier ,


As SU12 has been recently released, is there any update on the WASM multi threading? Such a feature should improve performance across the board, in the end, the end customer will have the benefit of it. Thank you.
