Hi, Your post are not detailed, you are talking when the texture it load before you are in the sim ? or when fs2004 have loaded and the texture take time to appears in the sim?If you are talking about the time that's fs2004 load before you are in the sim:You are using 3rd party addons that's cause huge time to load. The loading time is from the texture and scenery that's reside in your fs2004 and TOO many aircraft in your aircraft directory. Ms is not responsible to 3rd party scenery and huge addons.In the sim with some 3rd party:When you have too many photo sat texture with any 3rd party scenery, the slow loading will appears and "overdone" the videocard memory for performance already used from the default Msfs texture. Decrease of frame rate will mostly happend with more high resolution aircraft, airports and panels from 3rd party. Use 3rd party stuff and be aware of peformance and loading time, many addons do not respect the standard texture size and format, which reduce performance overall and screw up your flight and experience.ThanksChris Willis[link:fsw.simflight.com/FSWMenuFsSim.html]Clouds And Addons For MsFs
