Hi, I just installed Boinc software Version 6.6.36 for the Quake catcher network. But when I go to fly a plane in Microsoft Flight Simulator X the throttle won’t go to full. And it stated only after I started using the BOINC any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Option 1.
Exit BOINC prior to playing a game.
BOINC Manager->File->Exit, check "stop running of science applications when exiting BOINC Manager" and click OK.
This ensures all resources of your PC are used by the game.

Option 2.
Suspend BOINC before you start gaming or your other GPU intensive thing.
BOINC Manager->Advanced view->Activity->Suspend.
To resume follow the same path and set it back to Run based on preferences.


Option 3..
Use the <exclusive_app> option in the core client configuration file, in your BOINC Data directory that will suspend your BOINC (under Windows only, I'm afraid) automatically when any of the exclusive applications you told it to look out for is detected in main memory.

To do so, set up the cc_config.xml file with the following options (example of my cc_config.xml):

<cc_config>
  <options>
     <exclusive_app>Speed.exe</exclusive_app>
     <exclusive_app>Crysis.exe</exclusive_app>
     <exclusive_app>FarCry.exe</exclusive_app>
     <exclusive_app>NFSHP2.exe</exclusive_app>
     <exclusive_app>FarCry2.exe</exclusive_app>
     <exclusive_app>Fallout3.exe</exclusive_app>
     <exclusive_app>RA3.exe</exclusive_app>
     <no_gpus>0</no_gpus>
  </options>
</cc_config> 

You only need to tell what application name it needs to look out for, no need for the full path to the name. If you already have one, you can add the <options></options> part to your existing cc_config.xml file.

Watch out with launcher files. For example, Fallout 3 uses the Fallout 3 Launcher, which does not stay in memory after you launched the game. So do not use the launcher file as the exclusive app, but the game executable's name instead. I have tested this with the Oblivion launcher as well, here it is the other way around. If you add the Oblivion executable only, BOINC will not suspend. You will have to use the Oblivion Launcher name.

Thanks for the help I will give it a try
