Recently, P3d v5.4 has been starting very, very slowly.  Even when the intro screen comes up, the loading stalls at 5 for about 2 minutes.  I checked my Addon Manager and I see my ORBX files, FTX_AA, EU, NA, ZZ all at the top of the order.  When I try to change them in Addon Manager, it doesn't like it, and doesn't allow me to save the configuration.

My ORBX library, which is 190GB,  is on my large X drive, even though P3d has it's own SSD (M2).  Originally, my ORBX library was on my main drive, C, but I wanted to save some space on C, so I moved it to X.  I believe the slowdown occurred not too long after I relocated my library.  Who knows?

Any ideas to help me speed up P3d?

 Did you correctly set your ORBX library insertion points within Central? It's a super important step that most neglect to do or at least do properly. Airports and regions gets set way down below your first addon scenery or even as far as to just above Bathymetry. Global open LC doesn't need to change as it by default gets put below where ever you set your Airports and regions.

Thank you, Dave.  Your solution was CORRECT.  My insertion point was not set correctly.  I thought it was, but it was way off.  I really appreciate your help.

Problem Solved!
