b3burner Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I want to set the Affinity Mask for P3D-- v2.5 I have an 8 core system. I want cores 1, 3, 5, & 7-- ON ; and cores 2, 4, 6, & 8-- OFF. I know when entering the values for each core on the calculator, they are to be entered in backwards order 8 to 1 from left to right. I want 8 to = zero.... BUT... The calculator in binary / word mode won't let me start the sequence with a lead-zero all the way to the left. It will only let me start the sequence with a 1... and I don't want to do that. Is there a way to force a lead-zero in that calculator in order to figure it out? Or if somebody else has a better calculator to force that lead zero and can give me the Affinity Mask Value, I would appreciate it. Thanks, -- John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evm Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Any leading 0 is omitted because it does not have any effect on the conversion from binary to decimal. Don't worry about it, just start with the first '1' you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b3burner Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Ok thank you. I believe w/ a Core 1-3-5-7 sequence set to non-hyperthread, Aff Mask will = 85. If I'm not mistaken. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b3burner Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Now as an edit to this question/answer, I had another person I spoke with on the AVSIM say that P3D v2.5 had been updated as such that the affinity mask setting to open cores is no longer necessary ; as it seems to kno to do it on its own. Would u say there is some truth to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
