Long load time lately

[Dillon 2,197]

I'm seeing long load times lately.  Any advice outside of uninstalling add-ons that I can do to clean-up whatever is causing the slowdown?

Google maps solves this issue.

I believe this was the result of the last sim update.  Maybe ASOBO can resolve it in SU15.

It may also relate to a slowdown of the MS servers which don't seem to have been fit for purpose for a while now.

The load times have been very poor from the start. 

I am not on about when starting a flight (which I can understand when loading in the aircraft and scenery etc.), but just the loading time to the first screen is ridiculous. 
What the hell is the sim doing for all that time just to get to some simple HTML pages?

At some point about a month or two ago, loading slowed to a crawl. I deleted the (not terribly full) Community folder and restarted the sim. Loading time was restored to two minutes plus. Repopulated the Community folder with those add-ons that I actually need/use these days, and it's still around three minutes. 

No more problems.

With a recent clean install (14 days ago), i have never seen faster loading times since the beginning in 2020.

I'm doing that at the moment - a clean install.  I have a 2Gb/sec all optical router and the PC ethernet directly plugged into the back of it.  The download started off OK (relatively) getting up to a blistering 300Mbit/sec.  But now it's dropped to its more normal speed of 2.0 - 2.5 Mbit/ second.     

Every 20 mins or so it has a burst of enthusiasm and gets up to 200Mbit/sec for a few seconds - but then thinks better about it and winds down progressively over 30 secs or so back down to its preferred 2.5Mbit/sec.

I had hoped, in that the behaviour is always like this during a Mandatory Updates, that it was that all users being updated across the world at the same time.  But no - it's all the time.

 

I'll just go and have a look at how that well that wet paint is drying while I'm waiting.  Should be ready for a second coat tomorrow - at least that's getting a pace on!  

 

I have no expectation that my normal start up will be any faster once it is finally ready to run, but at least your post, @Lange_666 , gives me a glimmer of hope to cling on

Yes - There is a direct correlation to loading times and connecting to Bing maps.   This is freeware with a payware option.  Try it !

It's weird I started having issues with the sim loading yesterday afternoon, it would sit at the instalaltion manager screen checking for updates for ages, I even had issues with my PMDG 737 not loading. Everything was fine in the morning.

Maybe something was going on with the servers or even the interweb lol Today everything seems normal again

These past couple of sim updates have slowed loading times drastically. Even with addons prior SUs the sim was still much more snappy on loading times.

Just double checked. About 3 1/2 minutes to get to the main screen, on the first load since system start. It's been that way since 2020. And that's with my "normal" Community folder contents.
