Don't take any notice Pete. It is user "StubbinMyToe" who also dislikes any post I make. The guy claims to be in his 50's but acts like an 8 year old. He is a stalker, of the internet variety.

 

Maybe the mods might remove the ability for him to vote a post, if he continues.

Affinity mask 15 on a quad core is the same as not having affinity mask at all,  as it has all cores selected. Its teh default setting.

This what all the guru's in P3D2 and DX10 are saying to use now.

Yes, because p3d is different and LM set it to use only core 1,2 and 3 meaning af=15 forces p3d to use core 0 as well.

Ok, cheers Glenn. I am no expert on these things. I always had it set @14. I have been using @15 for the last week and having very smooth sim, including heavy areas ( In DX10 ).

As I only run FSX  on my fsx machine and everything else on a laptop,  do I benefit from using all cores ?

This is one of the greatest FSX tweaks I've found. Thanks to the OP for posting and for everyone's input.

 

Finding no problems here in the sim and less graphical glitches in the windows gui while FSX is running. Plus FSX looks really nice now in windowed mode. Talk about a fresh coat of paint.
