Now, with my current SU6 with a stuffed to the gills Community Folder,  I click on the icon,  go down, and make 8 cups of coffee...start bacon and eggs,  eat...then swing down for a shower...towel off,  put on my duds,  pour my first cup of coffee,  open the fridge,  take out the package of Danish....head to the Den...and just about 10 seconds later...the welcome screen shows up on the monitor.  So, my MSFS 'start' M.O. is working out really well now...

Ses!

3 minutes, 25 seconds

very modest computer: Rhyzen 3600 cpu at 3.6 Gz

community 27.7GB

official .....196.9 GB

 

I am using the Steam Fast Launch option, i.e. does not show the BlackShark, MS, or Asobo splash intro videos.

Fast launch can be chosen for any Steam game.

STEAM, LIBRARY, MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR, MANAGE (SHIP'S WHEEL ICON), PROPERTIES, GENERAL, LAUNCH OPTIONS, -FastLaunch

in other words type -FastLaunch in that box.

Xbox store version: I saw an Avsim message showing the modifier you add at the end of Flightsimulator.exe file in its shortcut box, probably the same modifier -FastLaunch

You know its done right when you no longer see BlackShark video, etc.

 

 

Modest rig

i7 4970k
1070
16GB
Installed on HDD mechanical

About 200 GB in my community folder

About 8-10 mins to load - although ALWAYS get the safe boot message which slows it down and I always quit the sim "properly".

I think I am about 1 minute. I only have FBW A320 in my addon folder.

LOL

3:01 loading off a 1TB Samsung EVO SSD.  Almost got under the 3 minute mark!

Content Manager indicates 98.44GB used but I'm not sure if that's the Community Folder size in total.

32GB RAM, i7-4790K CPU, original system build was back in 2015, but the RAM, storage and GPU have been upgraded since (sometimes more than once).

It's not that long ago that I finally got rid of my Betamax stuff! Mind you, hadn't actually used it for a couple of decades.

Haven't measured my startup times, but feels about 3-4 minutes usually. I've just ordered a 4tb WD Black NVMe addin-card, supposedly good for around 6,500 Mb/sec read xfrs so I will definitely do before and after testing when that arrives. Kinda relieved to see other folk also seeing multi-minute load times - misery shared and all that!

5 minutes, 6 seconds to main menu!!!! Looks like a few of my gotta have addons are getting retired. Ridiculous!

Hmmm. 3 minutes, 11 seconds when Acronis True Image isn't making a backup of my MSFS partition. Better!

2:45 to the main menu from a standing start.

Middle range system: i7-7700K at stock speed, 32 GB RAM, Samsung 500 GB SSD, four years old. MSFS Premium Deluxe, with only the USA update installed. Add-ons include Navigraph, Rex Textures, Orbx KSBA, and WT CJ4.

"Space Used:" parameter in content manager equals 42.59 GB, although I'm not too sure what that refers to.
