In this video I am showing you my Prepar3D settings, some Prepar3D.cfg tweaks, my AMD settings, and finally my Active Sky for Prepar3D V4 settings. Please note: just because these settings work for me, does not necessarily mean they will work for you! It really depends on the configuration of your own system!

Timestamps:

Intro: 0:00
Prepar3D settings: 0:29
Prepar3D.cfg tweaks: 16:44
AMD Settings: 22:57
Active Sky Settings: 23:35
Outro: 27:28

-- WHAT TO ADD/CHANGE IN PREPAR3D.CFG --

[DISPLAY]
TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=160

[SCENERY]
MaxRegionsPurgePerFrame=1

[JOBSCHEDULER]
AffinityMask=85

[TERRAIN]
UseGlobalTerrainView=True
TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=9

Make sure you check whether these entries already exist in your Prepar3D.cfg or not! If so, just change the value. If not, just enter the item under the right tab!

How to find Prepar3D.cfg:
It should be located here: C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 or simply type %appdata% in the Windows search bar and browse to the right folder.

-- Affinity mask setting --

Binary to decimal converter: https://www.binaryhexconverter.com/bi...

Some common affinity mask settings for quad-cores with hyperthreading ON (this will give you 8 logical processors as shown in the video):

84, 85, 116, 254 or 255

Just experiment with these!

PLEASE NOTE: in the video I incorrectly told you that the first number of the binary code codes for Core 0 and the second for Core 1 etc. Actually it's the other way around! The first number of the binary code codes for Core 7, the second for Core 6 etc.
