    Thanks everyone,

    I am now questioning if I will get as many benefits for my money. I now understand that P3D or MSFS2020 will not leverage the extra memory. With P3D v5.3 and my GTX 1080, i have a steady 35 FPS with no stuttering. Maybe a lower card like then RTX3080 or 70 with at less 10 gigs will give as much benefits than an RTX 3090.

    If I decide to upgrade, I will also upgrade my PSU to 1000 watts.

    Thanks for all the advice.

    Hi,

    with the new version of P3D 5.3, there is a new section for Job Scheduling

    [JobScheduler]
    AffinityMask=1023
    P3DCoreAffinityMask=1023
    MainThreadScheduler=0
    RenderThreadScheduler=2
    FrameWorkerThreadScheduler=4

    I have a 10 core cpu running Hyperthreading. According to the Affinity Mask Calculator - 32 Core Edition my AffinityMask should be:

    Affinity Mask [ Binary = 11111111111111111100 ]

    and I should change the AffinityMask to:

    [JOBSCHEDULER]
    AffinityMask=1048572

    should I also change the P3DCoreAffinityMask?

     Hi,

     I am using a Precision Flight Control (Cirrus II serial console) with x-plane 11. I have a weird problem with the Fuel selector in the Cessna 172. When I load the aircraft, the fuel selector goes on the right tanks. The fuel selector on my Cirrus II doesn’t seem to be configure, so I use the mouse to move it. When I do, it's like the selector arm is spring loaded and always return to the right tanks. I notice that X-Plane also load an aircraft plugin XLua 1.0.0r1 and when I disable the plugin, the selector goes to both tanks but neither the mouse or my fuel selector on the cirrus II can move the selector to the right or left, also the fuel shutoff doesn't work anymore and the fuel indicators shows empty tanks. Looks like that plugin controls all switch and gauges related to fuel. If I disable my Cirrus II console in the PFC Hardware, the fuel selector works fine with the mouse, but my console doesn’t work anymore.

    There is obviously a conflict between the Cirrus II configuration and the XLua plugin. When they are both enabled, they both seem to take control of the fuel selector arm, and my Cirrus II seem to be the one sending a command that keeps the arm in the right position. Does anybody using a old PFC Cirrus II (serial) ever had that issue?

    Hi,

    I would like to know how can I get the co-pilot to report my position when in Oceanic control. The co-pilot does the first SelCal communication, but he doesn't report position after cross each oceanic waypoint. 

    Also my comprehension is that I have to leave PF3 co-pilot mode at setting 0 , and when I tell my co-pilot "you have the radio" MCE will internally set PF3 to co-pilot mode 2. I sometime experience delayed handback to domestic control after oceanic sector , PF3 support tells me to set Co-Pilot mode to 2. 

    Would MCE work if I set Co-pilot to 2?

    I asked, on the UTLive 2 forum, what will trigger this message and they answer this:

    "I am guessing that when you load MultiCrew you might be using a key combination ctrl+shft+12 or similar?  This is also a short cut for UTL settings within the sim.  See if you can configure MultiCrew to use a different shortcut."

    are you using a key combination to load MCE?

    Hi my problem is back, 

    Not sure why, but when I call the crew using the addons menu in P3D 5.1. MCE load and I can see at the top left in red, that it is cycling between " Looking for changes to current aircraft...please wait" to "ready to go" then I received the first greeting. Then MCE goes back to " Looking for changes to current aircraft...please wait" then too "ready to go" where I would received the second greeting, with a different coordinator name. 

    I did some test and it is not related to:

    -a specific aircraft, I have the problem with the Airbus Aerosoft 330 and 319 and the PMDG 747-8

    - It is not related to one specific airport, I get it at different airport in the world

    - I have installed and un-installed many time, same result

    - I am using PF3 but it does it without using it.

    I am running version 2.9.0

    Is there a log that I can use to see why MCE is loading more then once in P3D?

    Thanks

    Hi Gerald,

    Not sure why, but the problem was that when I was calling for the crew in P3D, MCE was loading more then once. I could see at the top left in red, that it was cycling between " Looking for changes to current aircraft...please wait" to "ready to go" then I received the first greeting. Then MCE will cycle back to " Looking for changes to current aircraft...please wait" then to "ready to go" where I would received the second greeting. with a different name. 

    I have decided to uninstall and delete all MCE folders that remained and do a clean re-install. It seem to have solved the issue I had, I am running 2.8.9.7

    Thanks

    With MCE you can configure PTT two ways. By using the <del> or <end> keys or by assigning a buttons on your joystick. I am using a yoke (cirrus II) when I fly airplane with yoke, like Boeing 747 so using FSUIPC6 I assign a yoke button to the send a <end> key. When I fly Airbus plane I use my joystick where I have button 4 assign to PTT. 

    The joystick works perfectly  and can communicate with PF3-ATC with no problem, but with the yoke button it is very flaky. Sometime it works and other time it doesn't . 

    When I start MCE i make sure I have only one option check. 

    My first question is: In MCE can I have both options for PTT check at the same time? If not : Can I flip between them without have to restart MCE?

    Is there a log file where I can see if MCE, when I use  yoke button (the <end> keys) is really sending the keystroke to PF3.

    When using the joystick, what is sent to PF3?

    In the MCE.cfg file I did found the Joystick assignment:

    [GAMEPAD]
    JoyManID=T.16000M
    JoyProdID=T.16000M
    JoyButton=4
    UseWithVoxATC=0        

    and the PF3 setup

    [ATC]
    Mode=PFE
    PreventNativeATCCancellation=0
    UseRadioNoise=1
    StaticNoiseLevel=2
    SecondaryNeedAtcWindow=0
    atc1=0
    atc2=0
    atc3=1
    atc4=1
    atc5=0
    UseRadarContact=0
    IgnoreRC4Registry=0    //(Set this to 1 when RC4 isn't installed on the same machine as MCE)
    RC4path=
    IgnorePFERegistry=0    //(Set this to 1 when PFE isn't installed on the same machine as MCE)
    PFEpath=
    IgnoreFlightPlan=0
    FlightPlansPath=

    Both I do not see any reference to the use of the  <del> or <end> keys option.
