I was wondering, the read time seems to be much shorter then a Raptor and fs9/fsx is using a lot of small files.Will there be any gain in reading the texture files to avoid popping scenery?Cheers

Regarding popping scenery, I'd guess no. Regarding sim load times, I'd guess yes.RhettFS box: E8500 (@ 3.80 ghz), AC Freezer 7 Pro, ASUS P5E3 Premium, BFG 8800GTX 756 (nVidia 169 WHQL), 4gb DDR3 1600 Patriot Cas7 7-7-7-20 (2T), PC Power 750, WD 150gb 10000rpm Raptor, Seagate 500gb, Silverstone TJ09 case, Vista Ultimate 64ASX Client: AMD 3700+ (@ 2.6 ghz), 7800GT
