January 8, 20251 yr 3 hours ago, fppilot said: 2:20 (minutes) to the main menu. System specs in my signature below. Of note. I use Addons Linker religiously and only load what I need for the next two or three flights, perhaps 20 items max including mods. aircraft, and scenery (mostly airports). Also loading concurrently Fltplan.Go, Active Sky, AutoFPS, and Navigraph Charts and Navdata. My system security is Microsoft Defender and Malwarebytes. That could be an influence and perhaps a key item for evaluating responses to this question. Very nice specs for your system. My plans are to replace my 2080 card with a 4080 card later this year. But right now, I can't justify spending over $1500 on a new card, when my existing card is 4 yrs old and running very well in 2024.

January 8, 20251 yr Usually around 4' to first menu and then around 40" from choosing flight to 'Ready to Fly' for MSFS2024. It went through an interesting week or so in early December when it was no less than 15' to the first menu. Someone somewhere must have fixed something because it improved by itself with no changes my end. No doubt a total coincidence that MSFS2020 started taking much longer from that point.

This 4080 Super cost me under $1,100 incl 6% tax back in August. I firmly believe my load times are a benefit of my judicial use of Addons Linker. Other than a couple of sim enhancements I load only the aircraft, liveries, and scenery addons for the areas I am flying for that flight. Addons Linker is also starting Active Sky, Fltplan Go, AutoFPS, and GPU-Z as it loads MSFS 2024.

January 8, 20251 yr Lucky users you are! In my case, it always sticks 5' 30'' at 5% "loading language"—whatever that means. Then, after a total time of 9 minutes, it arrives at the opening scene. - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).
January 8, 20251 yr It takes me also roughly 9 minutes, but with an aging 7700K CPU and only 100MB internet, so I guess that I just have to accept that until there are upgrades available for me. Hans
