CE_Mikemonster Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 On my Application Profiles I added the shortcuts as well as the DCS.exe, not sure if that will work? Under 'File' I can see: Launcher.exe, DCS.exe, KA-50 Too many cowboys. Not enough indians. GO APE SH*T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was same for me but i realized something you have to wait untill you launch the mission. Pause when you get in the cockpit and alt tab out go to processes then set affinity for DCS.exe. when you first launch DCS and going through the setup all cores are selected but they uncheck when you click fly and get into the mission. I jumped 15 FPS adding the other 3 cores. At first i thought same thing all 4 are already checked but its all about when you look at affinity. Im running Vista 32 as well.

Haukka81 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Multicores are nothing: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2643908/Notice_Anything_Odd_Here.html#Post2643908 ""I'm not recommending anyone try this even if they have 4 or more gigs of memory, but all I did was delete my page file. Simple as that. I actually did it for FSX and noticed that my fps were sky high, but the sim ran like molasses. I then looked at BS and got these sky high frames and super slick performance. I have no way of knowing if the sim was really running that fast, but no matter how many a/c ground units or action I put it through the fps never went below 250."" No page file = 200-300% better FPS :) -haukka Oculus CV1, Odyssey, Pimax 5k+ (i5 8400, 24gb ddr4 3000mhz, 1080Ti OC ) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H4rM Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 The multi-core fps improvement only works in Vista. You have to assign the "DCS.exe" to more than one core affinity, not the launcher.exe (that starts the GUI only). The DCS.exe has been programmed to run onder one core, so even if you "think" you see it automatically assigned to more than one not using the affinity tweak, then take a look at the DCS.exe once again, when you are in a mission (hit pause/break then alt-tab out and check), you will find without the affinity tweak that like everyone else, by default the DCS.exe runs on one core. If you are having problems setting your DCS.exe to more than one core using either Wombats scripts or THG, then try disabling the User Account Control in Vista (UAC). Reboot then try again, it may work as UAC seems to block the process.exe on some systems running Vista. Again, for you XP users (32 or 64 bit) , setting the affinity to more than one core will not provide any more gain since this has been tested multiple times already, the big improvement over XP is seen with multicore cpus and Vista (either 32 bit or 64 bit, doesn't matter). Blackshark gets more frames per second on most all computers running Vista than it does running XP, when you set the affinity correctly. Hope this clarifies things as we still see people not reading entire threads on this and still trying it out on XP.
