  1. Peter, Here is what I find. We are talking geometrics here. Grin. Using affinity I double my frame rates........removing pfc.dll and NOT using Affinity I triple my frame rates. I just purchased the GoFlight 4 engined USB thrust lever assembly and I know a good trash man for the pfc hardware. Grin. Regards, Mel
  2. Peter, I just fixed the problem. Grin. Ordered a GoFlight throttle system that is USB controlled and am going to trash the pfc legacy throttles........that is the only function I used anyway...so take your time if you thought you had a fix. Grin. Regards, Mel
  3. Peter, Well, the way I understand it.......when we use the Affinity option to remove one CPU from the loop.......we effectively remove hyperthreading also. Wonder if using a USB/Serial adapter might fix the problem? What do you think? Regards, Mel
  4. Peter, So it might "behoove" us to replace the PFC hardware and purchase new USB equipment? Regards, Mel
  5. Sir, I am finding the EXACT same conditions as you mention........my frame rates double after removing the 1.55 PFC.dll from the Modules folder.......and in fact my CPU useage is in the 49 percent range with the pfc.dll removed.......if I reinstall it the cpu consumption goes to 99 percent. If I use the Affinity tweak to remove one cpu while running pfc.dll the frame rates do improve.....but it seems to me that I have lost my HT function....and the frame rates are still not as fast as when I remove the pfc.dll. Peter.......can you HELP in this area with a new .dll ?? You might just win an award. Grin. Regards, Mel Ott
  6. Bob, What is the easiest way to obtain the imagecfg utility? I mean the easiest way for a nerd like me. Grin. Regards, Mel
  7. [ Sean, This IS a super hint for anyone with a 3.06 CPU.....I followed your instructions and it works SUPERBLY.....I just about doubled my frame rates and now can run all of the 3D clouds that I want!! I hope Peter Dowson reads this before he buys one of those other chipsets....stick with Intel Pete! Regards, Mel Ott quote=SeanMcLeod]That sort of slow down seems like the real worst case. With hyper-threading enabled run FS2004 and then use Task Manager to set the FS2004's process affinity to just CPU0. Processes tab in Task Manager and then right click the FS2004 process and select "Set affinity..." And see whether the frame rates improve. Any one else with a hyper-threaded CPU who can confirm similiar slowdowns?
