It takes forever for FS9 to boot up?

[sonebone]

Hi and thanks for all replies...........I just changed to windows ultimate and reinstalled FS9 I started adding in all my AI to the aircraft file and then some payware planes. I have not loaded any scenery yet and its taking 2 minutes or more to restart the sim. Thats like forever. Is there another way other then loading into aircraft file through FS9 or any tweaks to shorten load time?

It is a HUGE bytes FS2004. It's about 15GB. It takes a long time to load it. It's normal. It cannot be change or fix to get faster load. Sorry Pal.

The only way that is going to get cut short is to remove everything you added along with any new scenery you may have included. That is putting it back to its old bare bones state.

This is just too bad that no one has been able to make something like Train Store for MSFS (in this case it would have been named Plane Store or something similar). Train Store is a great utility for Microsoft Train Simulator that hides unnecessary files just to run a route to make loading the simulator faster.

Yep, had the same problem. For me, a LOT of add-on scenery files. So, go to the "library/add new area". Uncheck the sceneries in continents where you're not flying now. Close fs, and re-start. Later, if you change continents, re-checck where you're going to be, and uncheck the other. Close and re-start.
Helped me immensely.
