Question about Tweaks

[JimmiG 244]

Running a four core with HT disabled Bob? I would try running addon with affinity above core zero and use all four cores with no AM specified in that case. None the less many users do report good performance on three cores.

 

In some cases, restricting the sim to 3 cores on a 4 core CPU can help. In most cases, you're simply just getting 75% of the terrain rendering performance, though.

 

A better option would be to determine which processes are hogging the CPU. CPU usage should be close to 0% for all other processes when running P3D.

Yes that's right, but generally though nothing much happens. Instead the problems come from addon exe apps that by definition run alongside the sim. In these cases I usually would use four cores on the four core, or AM=85 with HT enabled, and start these exe addons with a batch file (.bat) to assert starting affinity above core zero.

Not to bring this back front and center...ashamedly I will though, what about the SWAP_WAIT_TIMEOUT...FSDT adds things to the .cfg file which can be annoying as all get out.
