AnkH Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 ...some small bug fixes and adjustments greatly improve the experience. Thanks to the FSDT Addon Manager fix recently released, the overall performance of GSX is better than ever before and thanks to my new .bat files forcing external addons away from core 0 on my rig, I have a smooth and fluent sim like never before. Together with the novel AS busses, I am off flying again (instead of tweaking). First flight took me from Mallorca to Zurich, here are the shots: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikbenik Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Great captures and the sim becomes so more and more equal to 'the real deal'. Is the PC-performance also better running to eliminate core 0 for P3D-use and concentrate other sim-related SW only to core 0 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simulator itself is still the process that needs the most CPU power, so I would definitively not move it off core 0 but instead the addons that can cope with much less CPU power. I have now ActiveSky, REX and ProATC/X limited to cores 4 and 5, that's way sufficient for those addons and as such, cores 0,1,2 and 3 can be used by the sim only. BTW: thanks for the kind words.

Jack Sawyer Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Nice plane and shots of the scenery, but I wouldn't have a clue about how to do what you did with the cores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkH Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Basically it is very easy, simply create a .bat file that tells the computer to execute your .exe file with a defined affinity setting (there are some guides on how to do this on avsim etc.). Then you redirect your desktop shortcuts of ActiveSky, REX and ProATC/X to the .bat file instead of the .exe file and the addons will be started with the correct affinity setting. The sim itself is restricted to certain cores by the classic affinity mask entry in the prepar3d.cfg. The only thing I was not able to reassign was Ultimate Traffic 2, as this is executed via add-on.xml and this .XML does not accept a .bat file as executable object. But as I have the three main addons running along with the sim moved off core 0 (the one most used by the sim), there is some additional overhead for the sim. Pretty sure that this adjustments are not a prerequisite, but it seems that it added to the smoothness in my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakashi Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Excellent shots and great explanation of what you did to get there (for dummies like me)! I will be right over there with my rig so that you can work your magic on it also! I've got to brush up on my PC knowledge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Liked the shot of the plane coming in wheels down over the autumn forest. All those campers looking up and going Wow. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
