I want to set Affinity Mask to 14.  Should the format be:

 

 

Affinity/Mask=14    

 

OR should it be:

 

AffinityMask=14 ?

 

All posts seem to suggest Affinity Mask or AffinityMask is the correct format, but Bojotes utility set it as Affinity/Mask in the config file but uses AffinityMask in the instructions.  Does it matter if the forward slash (/) is included or not?

 

 

My config file has the / in the setting and I am wondering whether it is being recognized by FSX in that format.

Hi,

 

No slash in the middle: AffinityMask=14

Thanks, Mike.

FYI...I see you have an Intel quad-core processor (which all feature hyperthreading - to my knowledge). If you have hyperthreading enabled, you'll want to set that mask to 84 not 14. Otherwise, you're fine with what you got.

Hi,

 

Yep, any questions about what to set, here is an easy to use calculator.
