Sorry my ignorance...Ijust took a pic with task manager open ...there are not 8 cores? ???
Please advise

Peter22:
here another pic in KSFO PMDG B777 look at the first core is all the way top...thats how it should be affinity mask 252?
Thanks

The Task Manager shows both physical and logical cores. The odd numbered ones ( 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th ) are the physical ones, the even numbered ones are the logical ones ( 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th ).

The Addon Manager doesn't try to detect how many cores you really have. It simply allow to you set any allowed value in the sim, which ranges from 0 to 65535.

So, as I've said, since your CPU it's 4 physical cores and 4 logical cores, you should probably set it to 252, which means the top and the bottom cpu icons from the 2nd to 4th column are enabled, with the ones on the 1st and 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th column disabled, top and bottom. The value should be 252.

Peter22:
ok well thank you very much...I guess I am going with 252.

Assuming you SAVED the settings to be 252 AND restarted the sim, the CPU usage is a bit high for the 1st core so, either you:

1) Haven't saved the settings

OR

2) Haven't restarted the sim

OR

3) Some process in Windows is REALLY taking 100% of your 1st core, because if your settings were correct, 252 should mean the first two cores should be used only by Windows and not by the sim.

In fact, what I can see on my system, is that the first two cores are not used much, and most of the cpu occupation is on the 3rd core, which is exactly how it's supposed to look like with a setting like 252 ( or 65532, in my case, because my system it's a Dual quad-core, so it's 8 real cores or 16 with hyperthreading )
