MSFS2024 loading time

Featured Replies

It's typical the sim takes longer to load the more objects you have....

Vanilla to vanilla though 24 loaded about 5x faster than 2020 for me.

Try repairing MSFS2024 by right clicking on the app icon in the start menu. Took my load times from 5 mins down to 2.

Done, I cannot see much difference but thanks for the suggestion!

Try a smaller or bigger roaming cache.

As I recall the roaming cache is in MSFS2024 settings?

I can understand that.

But the sim loads every addon aircraft and scenery, even before you start the free flight?

Have you downloaded any of the world updates or marketplace airports or planes? Downloading any of the streamed content will increase the sim load time... the more you download, the longer it will take to load.

I would go to my library and change the downloaded ones to "streamed". To save time.

If I click on AOL to remove everything, msfs2024 loads in about 1 minute 30 seconds. It takes about 2:40 minutes with everything restored by clicking on AOL. (486 GB of "community" addons).

1m45s from desktop to the main menu, and about 10 seconds from the menu to my selected airport.

I would separate two things: the base sim load and the amount of content it has to scan or validate. With 2024, a fairly clean setup feels quicker than 2020 to me, but once you add downloaded world updates, marketplace aircraft/scenery and Community scenery, the start can still become slow.

With fewer than 50 add-ons, I probably would not add another manager as the first step either. I would first try a clean Community folder test, then compare it with only the scenery/aircraft you really need for that flight. If the difference is big, then a linker starts to make sense, even if you only use it for scenery and liveries rather than everything.

For aircraft alone I would not expect miracles, but scenery and streamed/downloaded content seem to be where the difference shows up most.
