August 20, 20205 yr Hi all, People are getting fps boosted with this tweak. Add the line "AffinityMask=n" in the config file,with "n" calculated with tool below: http://www.gfsg.co.uk/affinitymask.aspx?SubMenuItem=utilties Didn't tried yet. Seens it optimizes cores and threads utilization.
August 20, 20205 yr Oh god. Please don't tell me affinity mask tweaks are still going to be a thing in MSFS...

August 20, 20205 yr Please, for the love of god, do not try to run this sim using default settings! Aviation simulation is not a game - setup and tweaking is serious business. This is the guide that I used to set up MSFS. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND DO NOT SKIP ANY STEPS!!! https://www.simforums.com/forums/the-fsx-computer-system-the-bible-by-nickn_topic46211.html YOU SKIPPED SOME OF THE STEPS, DIDN’T YOU?? NOW YOU WILL NEED TO GO BACK TO THE START AND BEGIN AGAIN. This link covers the basic initial setup and tweaking, which should only take a number of hours. After this, you will be ready to test-boot the sim and try out the menus. As my next post, I will cover mid-level tweaking, which you should complete before embarking on your first MSFS flight. Good luck! Oz Sim Rig: MSI RTX3090 Suprim, an old, partly-melted Intel 9900K @ 5GHz+, Honeycomb Alpha, Thrustmaster TPR Rudder, Warthog HOTAS, Reverb G2, Prosim 737 cockpit.

LMAO or is this Back To the Future 2020 edition 🙂 I spent 2 days fiddling to try and get decent performance in anything other than the 152 and now I am currently enroute to LEIB at 36,000 over the stunning Andorra mountains ..... In the FF A320, X-Plane 11 with Ortho4XP @ solid 60FPS. Joking aside I love sightseeing in the 152 and get pretty decent results but anything serious seems to be a disaster Edited August 20, 20205 yr by Richdem Richard i7-12700K | Noctua NH-D15S Black Version | MSI Pro Z690 - A | 32 GB DDR4 3600 | Gigabyte Gaming OC 4090 | 1TB WD Blue NMVe (MSFS 2020) | 500 GB WD Black Gen 4 NVMe | 4TB WD Black Conventional | Fractal Design Torrent Case | Seasonic 1000W Gold Plus PSU | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Honeycomb Throttle | Airbus Side Stick | Virpil Rudder Pedals | Sony X90K 55 Inch TV |

Yeah I’m finding myself still tweaking slightly to find that sweet spot. As with you there’s a considerable difference on the frames when switching to glass especially the big birds. Give it time brother, 6 months from now will be sipping Pino calades on approach to KLAX with 60fps 😄

I got the X-Box Game Pass, paid $1.13 CDN and if it really isn't ready for prime time then I'll cancel my subscription at the end of the month. I do love my FF A320, FF 757 & 737X and for now will continue to fly them but I tell you buzzing around my "Hood" in the 152 is friggin awesome !

August 20, 20205 yr If I have to do all that god word not allowed tweaking again, I'll definitely stick to p3d. FS2020 is not worth spending time to tweak when majority of the issues can't be solved through config file entries. Alvin Lee / WSSS

Looking forward to the next installment of your MSFS tweaking guide Rob. 😁Until this arrives, I am pretty much grounded based on your advice. I am specifically interested in knowing how to get the most out of my Intel 2600K CPU so i can run all sliders to the right in MSFS. Perhaps there's some critical setting I can tweak in the fsx.cfg file? Recommendation welcome.
