February 9, 201016 yr I read @ http://www.alpinesystems.co.uk/ that SSD flash drive really makes a big differance in the sim. Has anybody around here tired this out?
February 9, 201016 yr When I installed my SSD a couple of weeks ago, I installed FSX on there instead of my velociraptor. I found screen loading times a lot quicker, and texture/model etc loading to be instant.
February 9, 201016 yr yes it does make a difference. faster loading times mainly, but before i had to wait minutes for fs9 to load up now its seconds.
February 10, 201016 yr Author yes it does make a difference. faster loading times mainly, but before i had to wait minutes for fs9 to load up now its seconds.Thanks for the responses!
February 10, 201016 yr Thanks for the responses!Sorry I missed this one. I use a 160GB Intel X-25M for FS9/FSX. Initial loading times are super-fast (FSX+UT II in 20 sec or less), and pauses while rapid-panning are rare, where they happened semi-regularly with a WD Velociraptor on a well-tuned 4.4GHz i7. It doesn't improve frame rates.It's not something I couldn't live without, but it's sure nice to have. I do tinkering and software development that requires restarting FS a lot, and it *really* makes a difference there.I'm ordering a 64GB X-25E for my OS/boot drive soon.CheersBob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case

By this weekend I should have it all set up. I am keeping my fingers crossed that things go smooth and I get the increase that I desire. Load times decreased will be great I just hope for alittle more.
