August 18, 20205 yr Hi Hope someone could answer me some questions. 1) I was expecting a PDF manual with the Sim and cannot locate it. Is there one? 2) Is anyone experiencing very long loading times when starting the Sim and when going into flight? 3) I saw hardware questions were not allowed in this section. I just had a quick one. I have a HOTAS Warthog Throttle and it has 2 throttles. I notice in the controls section only my Right Throttle is appearing. Is that normal? Thanks a lot.

If you are new to the world of flightsims then you might be surprised that the loading times on average are pretty short. Anything below 4 minutes is fast.
August 28, 20205 yr I agree to Farlis that loading times are well acceptable compared to other sims. However, you are certainly right that the sim should have accopanied by a PDF manual. As you may have already found, there are a number of good YouTube tutorials (search for those by "Squirrel"), but in my mind they are NO substitue of a PDF manual.

August 28, 20205 yr If you are using a SSD, load times are reduced considerably over a HDD. I have not timed it but it is most certainly way below 4 mins. Maybe 2 mins, but I suspect, even less than that. I have Windows on one SSD and the Sim on another SSD. I also use the -FastLaunch command which knocks some seconds off.

August 28, 20205 yr For reference here: I timed the game loading and was able to get the welcome screen at 2m 15secs. That is without counting the pause between "Press any key to continue". Im using the -fastLaunch switch command and have set option to skip pre-flight cinematics in the game. My specs are: Core i5 9600K @ 4,3GHz; GTX1060, 16GB DDR4 3200; Samsung EVO850 SSD
August 28, 20205 yr That's pretty consistent with mine. I just timed a couple startups on my system, and a typical one broke down as follows, using fast launch. Launch to first window appearance: 30 seconds Time to "Press any key" screen: 14 seconds, 44 seconds total. Time to "Checking for updates": 13 seconds, 57 seconds total Time spent checking for updates: 26 seconds, 1:23 total Time from blue bar appearing to main menu: 1:21, for 2:45 total This is on an i7-9700 using my dedicated flight sim drive, a 1TB 970 EVO Plus NVMe drive about 40% full.
