Which Core should you use for FS9

Was wondering if anybody has their FS9 set to use a different core than the main one on multi-core processors?

I know when I run my BF2 game I had some CTD issues with WIN7 64 bit and one of the fixes I found was to do this;
create a file with name BF2.BAT and saved it on folder \Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2
Inside the file BF2.BAT write....
start /affinity 70 BF2.exe +menu 1 +fullscreen 1

In my case, I have 8 cores, so, I am using cpu 7 for BF2.

Change the number after /affinity accordingly.

1 for cpu 0 <- which you should not use
2 for cpu 1
4 for cpu 2
8 for cpu 3
10 for cpu 4
20 for cpu 5
40 for cpu 6
80 for cpu 7

So basically my question is by doing this will I see a improvement in FS9?

Thanks
Les

there's a programme out there called "FS 2004 Affinity" i think thats its name ! which allows you to use all your 8 core's to run FS2004 i use it.

I use it also on my Quad. The programme only uses one core at a time for FS9, but swapes cores every few miliseconds, which does somehow smooth flying on my set up.
