Hi

 

I've just formated my entire SSD-harddrive and made a clean install of FSX on it. Now, while flying with for example with NGX, my texture loading seems rather slow when comparing it to my previous flight with this SSD, before formating it. Please ask if you need more information to help me with my problem. :)

 

Edit: My SSD is Intel Solid-State-Drive 520 series

Have you used the Intel SSD toolbox optimizer after your formatting?

I think most people have this problem. The SSD allows FSX to start up faster but not loading aircraft, scenery, weather, etc. I have a SSD and do not see a problem. It's probably slow loading scenery, don't know. One thing I do occasionally is set up a flight, the aircraft, the weather, the flight plan, and the time of day. I'll let it set there for 3 or 4 minutes without hitting the Fly button and go to the kitchen and get some refreshments. When I come back and hit the Fly Now button, loading is almost instantaneous. I know this doesn't solve your particular problem but I don't think there's a solution. You can't defrag a SSD but, if your scenery is located on a mechanical HHD, you should make sure that's defragged.

 

Best regards,

Jim

Thank you for your answer. Before formating I used to have very fast loading textures etc. Everything related to texture loading worked just fine. But after formating, texture loading has slowed down. They used to load in a matter of second. (Approx <1 second) And now loading takes over three seconds. I know, it sounds small difference, but I'm just wondering why does it take so long?

Yes I have. It seemed to have no difference.

I also tested my SDD's performance with CrystalDiskMark, and here's results:

 

Read-time seems fine, so if the problem is in the simulator? I don't know, that's why I'm asking. :)
