Is this '60' a new entry? I thought -1 was what you were using?

In-sim: disable vsync, change to unlimited frames start MSI afterburner, RTSS starts automatically, both are minimised in tray RTSS: bottom left press Add, find your prepar3d exe and add. Prepar3d is now added to list in RTSS RTSS: click on the added prepar3d in list, on right is scanline sync, click the word itself and you will cycle through the options, use X/2, on right click down arrow to get -1 That is the basic limit RTSS set. MSI AB and RTSS have to run every time when you run P3D or you will may get artefacts. If you need to get the on-screen parameters let us know.

I would check on websites that specialise in RTSS scanline sync parameters as when I went through them they were a bit too technical. I then took some pointers and through trial and error settled on -2.

You click the down button on the right of scanline sync.

Curious. Why do you have vsync ticked? The RTSS is performing that function for you.

I think use only scanline sync and leave the frame rate limiter at zero, it will automatically adjust to monitor refresh rate.

I have two profiles specifically for default and P3D with the only parameter changing being the CPU affinity. For Default profile all processes are on full hyperthreaded CPU affinity (cores 0-11). For P3D I have a profile which pushes all non-P3D processes to cores 1,3,5,7,9,11 and puts P3D on 0,2,4,6,8,10. The result is as below. https://ibb.co/nc21bMv

That is why I brought it up and Bruce also wondered why it is not used. This was an older tweak and I guess has not been discussed much recently. It is widely known in many gaming forums.

As with all tweaks it will be setup specific. Try it out and let us know. Works well for us, that is why we highlighted it. 🙂 But like others I did not like the 30Hz mouse issues so found this ideal for me.

Just install the latest MSI Afterburner and it is auto-installed. I still use the venerable AlacrityPC to shut down processes and programs as per profile and the MSI AB / RTSS start with the profile. For the display of parameters on screen as per my screenshot above you will need to use AB.

A lot has been written on the core balancing. I have always used Process Lasso and it perfectly balances the load across whatever cores I assign to P3D. Right now I am using HT on (it helps in overall PC fluidity for other programs) and in PL I use HT disabled specifically assigned only for P3D. So for my CPU PL assigns physical cores 0,2,4,6,8,10 to P3D and 1,3,5,7,9,11 to every other process. I don't use the Affinity Mask tweak.

OK for me it appears -2 is better. Will keep testing.

What is the scanline sync setting you are using? -1?

Try the frame rate limiter in the MSI Afterburner/ Riva Tuner SS. Works really well with the unlimited setting. RTSS/Afterburner also has some other great features where you can monitor key GPU/CPU parameters on screen. https://ibb.co/ZmpjZp9 See top right.

SPAD Next has a large community driven profile bank for almost any aircraft available for P3D/FSX. Must got through those to shortcut having to do profiles oneself.
