Recently there are several threads referring to assignment of CPU cores to improve performance. In one post there was reference to problems with Milviz Beaver. The solution was to "assign core 1". I opened the Config program and found no such option.

Hope someone will explain this to me.

Thanks

I just googled it and this is the first topic I found which seems accurate.

Anyway...it is called Affinity mask what you are looking for.

Sorry, but that doesn't seem to be what I an asking. A number of posts refer to assigning P3D to Core 1, or core 3 and 4, etc,

I already have Affinity Mask set.

Thanks anyway

You can do so with Process Lasso.

Thank you, After more reading it seems that AM is really just a wayt to inprove framerates?

I would describe it as a way to improve smoothness by keeping processes that interfere with each other from running on the same thread.

The idea of assigning cores to different tasks is to move away processes running on the first core (thread 0 & 1) because the sims is mainly using the first core to give us more performance. So, with Process Lasso (app. I am using to assign cores to tasks) you can easily move away from first core, applications such Active Sky, Moving map, Web browser or any other applications you are using while you are flying. The nice thing about Process Lasso is, if you are not running it, your PC is running those applications the normal way. Do a You Tube search about Process Lasso and youu will see how easy is to set it up.

+1   (or running on the same logical processor, if you want to use technical terms)

If you open Windows Task Manager with P3D running and look at processes, you can set (or check) affinity for each... take a look and see what you have currently set!

+2  Pretty accurate description.  Thanks!

If you haven't read this, this is in the Prepar3D Tips, Tricks, and How To's.

Unnecessary,

This can be done through the command line with no running processes.

Ex: ASN is...

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c start "AS_P3Dv4" /affinity 0C "C:\Program Files (x86)\HiFi\AS_P3Dv4\AS_P3Dv4.exe"

I have an 8 core processor, and it was explained to me that it spreads processes out more evenly and there should be no need to assign any cores to anything? And I have no affinity mask, everything seems so awesome, stunning actually!! I am not changing anything unless anyone here has any other hints or recommendations that could make it any more awesome!!

Thanks,

Mike
