I now experience the issue that as soon as the black loading screen appears after startup it remains black. Tried it 3 times and after 7 minutes still black.With just a few freeware it starts up very quickly. Is it normal that with 20+ Gb it might take a very long time ? Never had that with P3D so I do not know if this is normal behavior. All advices are welcome. regards, Gerard I have bigger size of community add ons than you, so I don't think it's an issue. However, I did experienced what you described few times because of either conflict between add ons mod or improperly installed add ons/mods in community folder. The only way to fix is to back up and empty community folder, and after reintroduce add on one by one. Life time flight sim enthusiast, current airplane owner 172P (past C182F).

January 17, 20215 yr Try this: https://flightsim.to/file/1572/msfs-addons-linker Put all of your add-ons in a seperate folder. In fact you can group your addons so that you can load all of the add-on in a seperate folder. Then when I start MSFS I select only what I need for the flight. MSFS loads faster and there is less chance of conflicts.

Addon Linker will help manage add-ons creating symlinks in your content folder with a seperate folder or folders where you can keep your add-ons. It allows to just before starting the sim to add or remove symlinks dynamically.
January 17, 20215 yr I know I've had the sim take 10+ minutes to load on a non ssd drive once after adding a ton of freeware. I thought the sim had crashed, but something told me to just leave it. So I walked away and came back later and it had loaded. It hasn't happened again, but I try to install freeware in smaller batches. ------------------------- Craig from KBUF

January 17, 20215 yr That photogrammetry scenery, especially ones that are poorly produced, can take a looong time to load. (The guy who does most of the ones in the Netherlands, though, does a pretty good job of optimizing his.) That said, what you are describing does seem abnormal. I can launch the sim with several of those Netherlands sceneries, totaling 50GB or so without trouble on a quick NVMe drive. I'd do what other folks in this thread suggest and grab Addons Linker -- it is much more useful than the package manager. Then you can just enable what you need for any flight. It also makes it a lot easier to hunt down mods that are causing problems because you can easily enable and disable things en masse.
