Next Meeting - 5th January 2025 Affinity Mask Calculator - 32 Core Edition Affinity Mask Calculator Prepar3D - P3D - Flight Simulator X - FSX Steam Edition Contributor Ted Porter Important Note! Prepar3D - P3D Users Please be aware that Prepar3D - P3D by default will use all Cores, and most importantly all Threads on those CPUs that have Hyper Threading enabled. On machines with four or more cores, P3D will dedicate logical core #0 for rendering tasks. Therefore it is suggested that the Expert Mode calculator be used to tune your Prepar3D - P3D Affinity Mask rather that the Easy Mode calculator.
