June 8, 201115 yr That's a very useful tip. Thank you. I never use the default flight.It doesnt matter whether you use the default flight or not. FSx loads the default scenery in preperation of flight. Its there in memory redy for use, If you select a different location,it has to unload that data and reload the new. Adding that line stops it from dong that.
June 8, 201115 yr Am I the only one on this planet for whom the first loading of FSX takes minutes (although the system runs completely off 2 6gb/s SATA SSD's)`When FSX starts, the CPU cores idle for a minute or two before anything happens except showing the splash screen of FSX.When I shut down FSX and restart it, it takes less than 30 seconds to get the flight underway. It's just the first time that takes forever.Any solutions out there?Best,BernhardIt should take about 10-15 seconds to get to the startup screen. The resource hog is any AI program. All these aircraft and flights have to be loaded worldwide and the more that has to be loaded, the longer the startup. It was much, much faster for me until I installed MyTrafficX. Then things went downhill fast. I think MyTrafficX is a great program so I don't complain and it's just one of those things that you just have to wait for. The second largest resource hog is scenery, especially FTX or MegaScenery. It all has to load no matter what or where you're going. When I first got my SSD and installed the default FSX, the time to get to the startup screen was fast and dramatic as I had experience minutes in my previous system. If you want to see a detailed list of everything that's loading in real time, download the Process Monitor and the Process Explorer and run one of them just before starting up FSX.Best regards,Jim
June 8, 201115 yr Commercial Member UT2 loads traffic about 5 seconds after the flight is completely loaded. It takes about 1 second noticed as a slight pause in the sim.Cheersjja Jim Allen[email protected]SkyPilot Software home of FSXAssist / P3DAssist

I'll get these programs and have a look. Yes, I am using MytrafficX, btw.
