bobraw776 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Over the FSX years I have religiously inserted AFINITY MASKS into the FSX cfg file. Today I changed the Affinity settings throughout the full range. After each change I ran a complex flight. There was no change in the FPS. So have I been conned all these years?

The affinity mask was never a requirement for the sim to use multiple cores. What it was good for was keeping the sim and the OS or programs that may be running on different cores. For some this did help reduce shutters, but for many it didn't make a difference. Like many tweaks, it was never a magic bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallcott Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Intel Core i7-6700 4GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Windows 10 Hyperthreading enabled. And all addons installed, scenery, aircraft, tweak tools. And show contents of FSX.cfg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobraw776 Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 That's a good reply loki-thanks. I'll remove the Affinity line from fsx.cfg. I notice that with X-Plane I can run other stuff simultaneously but FSX pauses when the focus is lost. Is it possible to change this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for the Pause on Task Switch option in settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorgen.s.andersen Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 +1 With this CPU and hyperthreading enabled, 84 is the correct value. Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
