SSD

I currently have my sim on a SSD and my orbx on a normal hard drive. But my autogen is really slow at loading in. Do you think if I buy a new ssd to fit both my sim and scenery on it my autogen will load in faster? Thanks

Probably not, slow autogen loading plagues most of us even using an ultra fast NVMe drive.  Loading the program is faster on the SSD than HDD but even Orbx has posted in their forum that performance differences are minimal.

Agree with @downscc that an SSD isn't going to help much with autogen. Autogen is one of the things that is CPU intensive, and slow autogen loading is typically a symptom of an overtaxed main P3D thread.

Thanks for the reply I just hope p3d v5 is better with autogen.

You can still f*** it up with to high settings for your hardware.
