macca22au Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I hope that the title is self-explanatory. How can I force the i7 to use all cores for P3Dv4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveller Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Hi , You need to know what you are doing, right? That said, you can read the content of this website first: https://store.hp.com/app/tech-takes/hyper-threading-everything-to-know Soon after, this calculator put on this website will be good for you: http://www.gatwick-fsg.org.uk/affinitymask.aspx?SubMenuItem=utilties Best regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawrence aldrich Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Some pretty good stuff there, Traveller…...thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca22au Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Thanks Traveller: I have been working with computers since using the UCLA computor in the 70s, but IT experts have always seemed to do the hard work for me. So your references were of enormous help. I probably didn't quite comprehend the relationship between cores and threads in the Advanced AffMask calculation but the simple version has still made a huge difference. My only concern now is that everything is really good, except for an occasional random flashing across the scene. I notice in fact in an outside view that the screen actually goes momentarily blue and then immediately returns to full picture. Does anyone have any idea what might be promoting this ... ie does the graphic card or graphic settings need some change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveller Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Very good Ian. As you know, computer is a being that aspires to be bigger than us ... and each one has their own idiosyncrasies! Hahaha. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the .exe in your prepar3d main folder (prepar3d.exe if I am not mistaken), right click on it, go to properties and verify that "disable fullscreen optimizations" is checked. At least in my case, this checkbox ticked eliminated all my screen flickering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
