XarBat Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) 1. I switched all 9 modifiers to activators. If I switch an activator to on, would buttons that do not use that activator still be useable (for example; if I switch RWin to on, and have nothing assigned to RWin+P, and then pressed P, would what I assigned to P still happen)? I have a joystick for each hand and my goal is to use the hats on both joysticks to switch between Cyclic, GUI cursor, and "Absolute" Shkval control for each stick. But there is no option to assign the GUI cursor in the menus. 2. I have a Phenom II X4 940 and when I opened autoexec.cfg; this is what it contained: affinity_mask = 0 --[[ For 3-cores CPU (AMD Phenom): affinity_mask = 0 = 000 - all cores affinity_mask = 1 = 001 - 0 core affinity_mask = 2 = 010 - 1 core affinity_mask = 3 = 011 - 0, 1 cores affinity_mask = 4 = 100 - 2 core affinity_mask = 5 = 101 - 0, 2 cores affinity_mask = 6 = 110 - 1, 2 cores affinity_mask = 7 = 111 - 0, 1, 2 cores --]] Why am I not getting the list for a 4 core CPU? I am using Windows XP Pro 64 Edited January 30, 2010 by XarBat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemises Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 1) for your first question, no.... if you have a modifier, and it is activated, then any subsequent keypresses would be "modifier + keypress"... 2) might need to update the OS / chipset drivers to recognise the newer UID code for a newer CPU ? ... doubtlessly there will be a Phenom II X4 "driver" update for x64..

XarBat Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Under system properties in the control panel it says AMD Phenom II X4 940. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemises Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 That is a string of text that windows identifies by polling the device directly ... does not necassarily imply the OS knows how to deal with it...I still suggest you look for updated OS "drivers" (they aren't really drivers!) for the CPU and chipset ..... windows needs to know how to properly categorize the processor. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XarBat Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 When I played Crysis: Warhead, the game identified the CPU correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Rider Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) the same existed on my QX9650/DX48BT2 (fully updated WIndows7 64bit) system... the default affinity_mask = 0 selects all four cores to run = 1 selects core 0 only to run the sim = 2 selects core 1 only to run the sim etc etc I created a line for my Qcore to run on cores 1, 2 and 3 (leaving core 0 for the operating system) and all seemed to go as expected... better in fact. eg affinity_mask = 14 affinity_mask = 14 = 1110 - 1, 2, 3 cores Edited January 31, 2010 by Wolf Rider City Hall is easier to fight, than a boys' club - an observation :P "Resort is had to ridicule only when reason is against us." - Jefferson "Give a group of potheads a bunch of weed and nothing to smoke out of, and they'll quickly turn into engineers... its simply amazing."

XarBat Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 So what does your entire autoexec.cfg look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Rider Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 like this... affinity_mask = 14 --[[ For 3-cores CPU (AMD Phenom): affinity_mask = 0 = 000 - all cores affinity_mask = 1 = 001 - 0 core affinity_mask = 2 = 010 - 1 core affinity_mask = 3 = 011 - 0, 1 cores affinity_mask = 4 = 100 - 2 core affinity_mask = 5 = 101 - 0, 2 cores affinity_mask = 6 = 110 - 1, 2 cores affinity_mask = 7 = 111 - 0, 1, 2 cores affinity_mask = 14 = 1110 - 1, 2, 3 cores --]] Task Manager/ Processes/ DCS.exe/ Set Affinity, reflects the alteration with All Processors and Core 0 both unticked City Hall is easier to fight, than a boys' club - an observation :P "Resort is had to ridicule only when reason is against us." - Jefferson "Give a group of potheads a bunch of weed and nothing to smoke out of, and they'll quickly turn into engineers... its simply amazing."

XarBat Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) Did the same thing, also set all processes running in the background to core 0 just to be sure. Although it will make a lot less difference for me since even with all the periphial software, as well as other things my memory useage is below 400MB when no applications are running.

XarBat Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 When I play the campaign mode the missions are air start or ground start with the engines on. Can I change it to always be an off(cold?) start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 No, air/ground start is built into the mission. You could edit the mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
