Definitely move those off zero Mark, if you are running with no AM. You'll be surprised what a little exe can do since they use networking.

 

If only I knew how to do it

Actually AlacrityPC allows you to do the same thing by de-selecting CPU0 from the list.

Fair enough, if you can get an app to do it, then fine. I only mentioned .bat because it's free and works.

 

But there are lots of apps claim to set affinity, instead they move it. Application affinity is not as simple as it sounds, apps that are moved onto other cores can cause problems, especially for P3D and FSX, and apps that set out their own affinity.

 

Making a .bat and then a desktop shortcut to it, you have the same thing as starting the app from the original shortcut, so no big deal.

Thanks for the additional info.  I just tried it now and was blown away....not one stutter or pause flying the newly updated Majestic Q400 in a circuit out of FSDT PHNL.  I have massive pauses before even with default planes.  I did use the "pop" feature of FSDT which helped but still left some pauses, now nothing.  Thanks so much for helping on this issue.

That's a result then. Thing to avoid is anything running along with the sim main thread on a core causes stutter.

 

Did you put the sim onto cores 1,2,3 with AM=14. Or do you have no AM, and put the addons above core zero?

The amount of misinformation in this thread is staggering:

 

highmemfix for P3D? No not needed never has and never will , does absolutely 0

 

Disabling scenery because an airport uses a photo texture for the airport grounds? No this is NOT photoscenery and doesn't count as such.

 

on and on...

Guys there is some misinformation floating around. If anyone would know it would be John Venema from ORBX who has clearly stated that disabling scenery does nothing except take up time.. Unless its photo scenery and for that reason you only need to create 2 scenery profiles.

This is mostly true, however for those who have a lot of addon scenery, one could fly over an addon airport scenery and it would of course reduce one's VAS as it loads. Example (4 addon airports): Depart KIAD, fly within 10 miles of KPHL, then fly over KJFK, then land at KBOS.

 

For the above reason (and due to the amount of addon airports I have), I find it's far better to disbale all airports other than the one I am flying from/to. Using Scenery Config Editor makes it TO EASY to do this.

 

Best wishes!

Exactly. How this is misinformation I do not understand. If you're going to fly over another addon scenery airport its definitely going to load it unnecessarily and increase VAS usage.

 

Ahmet, vector uses a ton of VAS. Disabling some of it via the vector configuration tool will reduce VAS usage by quite a bit also.

Yes good point in that case you would disable those 2 airports. I was mainly refering to disabling everything.

No AM and put the addons above core zero.  Only one I can't move is EZDok because if you try to start it outside of the sim it never seems to work properly.

You can still move it. Via task manager or process lasso. It works fine even if you move it onto other cores.

OK thanks, I will have to give process lasso a try for EZDok.  I know that Steve is saying not to use it at all for P3D.

Hi Mark, you can try lasso with EZDOK, I presume you start EZDOK with exe.xml so it starts with the sim, and the lasso will move it. That's probably OK, but always test anything lassoed carefully. It's P3D and FSX that must not be lassoed, or any program that asserts its own affinity. Like P3D and FSX have their own affinity mask setting, anything like that don't lasso.
