Also, I don't understand why the sim takes so long to load after checking for updates.  What is it doing to take so long?  What is it loading? 

The database for the models in the sim gets updated. Lots of AI planes and ship models means long loading time (holding time of the blue loading bar in the middle of the screen) 🙂

Really? I'd rather sacrifice another gig of two to have these locally installed or cached.

They are. I guess it comes down to old inefficient code. I started with FS2004, moved to FSX and then P3D, and all of them suffered the same problem. Without any add-ons load times were acceptable, but the more add-ons and the more AI-Models you added the longer the loading times got. 

MSFS is no different in that respect. Even on a brand spanking new M2 SSD it takes forever.

because this avoids stutters otherwise introduced if addons had to be parsed later on, while you are in the air. and I thought that's the last we wanted.

Question for you beta guys... Is manual caching still disabled in the beta stream? Did Asobo ever acknowledge that it was disabled or when it would return? TIA

I'm going to give this a bump hoping someone has some insight into this.

I just took a look in Options / Data / Manual Cache: View, and the buttons to create cache and create region are greyed out. Does this answer your question? I've never used manual cache, so I may as well be missing something on my end.
