The SDK for v5 is here. I have reassigned the MainThreadScheduler to core6 from 0 to keep the latter free for OS duties.

The fix for aircraft wheels at FSDT airports is not one that bothers me. I couldn’t see any other benefits I lost as a result of reverting to 5.3HF2.

If i am not mistaken, in v5.3 you could assign the P3D main thread to any core (whatever is your fastest core for your CPU) but in P3Dv5.4 I thought it was locked to core 0 (so I read), but I stand to be corrected as I never did install v5.4

If that's not the case, that would be one less obstacle in moving to v5.4.

Yes indeed, I suspect you are mistaken @787flyer. The main thread can be assigned to whatever core you like in V5.4.

Here is my AF for V5.4:-

AffinityMask=4294967295
P3DCoreAffinityMask=4294967292
MainThreadScheduler=15
RenderThreadScheduler=11
FrameWorkerThreadScheduler=28

No, I dont think so Luke. I have a Job Scheduler that can assign the P3D main thread, the terrain (Renderthreadscheduler) threads and Frameworkerthreadscheduler to different cores in P3Dv5.3

You're right - for some reason I thought that came out in 5.4.

But Sparkrite is correct - the main thread can be on any core you want - in fact an application cannot force a thread to a specific core in Windows. It can always be overridden.

Cheers

Thanks Guys for the feedback on the Job Scheduler uncertainties. Looks promising.

So,  I did some more digging into the EHAM textures issue in v5.4 and this can be overcome by updating the LUA script.

I think the only other thing that prevents me from moving to v5.4 is the issue Ray ran into with AI traffic causing some spurious issues, if I remember.

 

@Ray Proudfoot- did you ever get to the bottom of this?

Nope. Very difficult to determine the BGLs responsible.

Can't imagine going back to 5.3.  P3d 5.4 works flawlessly for me and extremely stutter-free.  I still have my Jetline computer  (4 years) with my Nvidia 1080Ti and my sliders are all full right or 1 setting below on some of them.  Of course, I do not use AIG for traffic since I found it contrary to their advertising it to be "one click". I truly found it very cumbersome.  I am very happy with my UT LIVE for traffic and although not as robust as AIG, it is robust enough for me with adequate traffic at all airports as well as aircraft in the sky.
