Is Ryzen Third Gen any good for X-Plane? (3600X tested) @xforcepc

I tested the Ryzen 3600X and 3700X on X-Plane 11. I will do more thorough testing in the coming weeks. I used a Ryzen 2600 and an Intel i5-9600K for comparison. By the numbers:
Ryzen 2600 = 34.7fps
Ryzen 3600X and 3700X = 49.3 fps
Intel i5-9600K at 4.8Ghz = 54.8 fps (probably closer to 50fps if not overclocked)

What if I have multiple controllers for pitch and roll in X-Plane, like both a stick and yoke?

Why does my G1000, 530, or 430 close when I try to put it into a window in X-Plane 11?
