Long Load times?

(1/2) > >>

theshack440:
Has anyone had (or unfortunately has) the problem of very long loading times in fsx? As in, FSX loads up correctly but when loading the flight itself it can take up to 15 minutes and then once loaded the frames seem to go from the highest fps it can reach to 20s then teens then back up... repeating that cycle. I thought the problem was caused by doing lots of stuff on my computer first and then playing but sometimes I restart my computer and I have the same problem. Any ideas?

Thanks a ton, any suggestions appreciated

virtuali:
The most common cause for long startup times in FSX, is a big collection of AI airplanes, because FSX has to scan each and every Simobjects folder on start to make an internal list of available AIs.

Ok thank you that might help. However when looking at the load bar it usually gets stuck for 10 minutes at
Loading terrain data and autogen. That's like 25-55 percent and then from 70-80 percent. So is it also a problem with loading the terrain?

Thank you

virtuali:
If you have terrain addons like Ultimate Terrain and load a complex area with many roads, lakes, coastline, etc, the vector data have to be read, and textures will have to be generated from that data, and autogen has to be placed on it. That's what that stage of the loading terrain does.

theshack440:
I don't have any of those terrain addons but do you have an idea why sometimes that part of the loading process takes so long? Plus any ideas on the frame rate spazzing?

Thank you
