T-bird 1400 - 512 Mb DDR - GF4 128 MbSwapfile min. 750 Mb's - 8 Gb left of C-drive, did a defrag last night.When I select the 737-600 2D in "Create Flight" and press "OK", it takes 12 mins. 30 secs. before I can do another thing ...With ANY other aircrafts (767PIC, PSS Airbus etc.) it takes less than 3 secs.I have more or less now gotten used to this, and now go watch TV for 15 mins. before getting back to the cockpit - but it IS getting really annoying ... I REALLY need to prepare my flight in advance - there is no "going to take the 737 for a spin" for me :)When the aircraft is first loaded, things are running pretty good. I don't have any FPS problems ... ONLY other problem for me is this :If I leave FS for a while without doing anything to it, and then start to program the FMC - when I select Origin FS makes a complete freeze-up and I can restart everything again (another 12 mins. ... go figure).If I program the FMC right after loading it, there is no problem.Guess I will have to live with the latter, but it's VERY hard to live with the 12+ mins. loading time :-/Martin

Hi Martin,There's a thread around here somewhere about this.My machine takes about 30-45 seconds to load up the 2D panel. Something's very wrong with over 12 minutes. My machine:1.8G P41G PC-2700You might try renaming fs2002.cfg, and let FS rebuild the file (and rename back your original if you need to). Good luck,Bruce.
