Loading time SSD drive

[mcenet]

loading times can be extremely long, with the game really taking its time on those initial load screens.

 

I am very curious what your time is from boot to the Welcome screen.

Then from the welcome screen to the actual flight.

:rolleyes:

 

my boot time to Welcome screen about 2 minutes

and from welcome to flight 1 minute

 

i wonder if these are normal loading times with a ssd drive.

I have it installed on an 860 EVO and my loading times are a bit long also. 1:15 to the welcome screen and another 1:22 to the flight - 2:37 total time (this is with the settings on Ultra).

I'm getting the same as W2DR with significantly different PC parts. It's annoying you can't click through the "who made the game" screens which last around 6-7 seconds each. Hopefully it will improve.

on a rather old motherboard (Asus Z97-A) with an I7-4770K, 16gb of ram, from a 500gb nvme drive:

click icon 0:00

Opens Window 0:32

Opening Credits 0:42

Press Any Key 1:12

Updates 1:30

Cessna C172 1:47

Main Screen 3:19

 

so, yeah... thats a lot to load up.

I am running FS2020 on an Alienware Laptop purchased in mid 2016 no SSD.

 

From pressing the On Button to Windows screen less than 15 seconds.

 

Click the FS2020 icon - Sitting in Cockpit read to fly. 12 - 14 minutes.

This is from the MSFS2020 Forums. You need to add the -fastlaunch to .exe before starting up the sim. I have my game on a EVO SSD and have noticed alot faster loading times once this has been added.

 

Right-click on the game title under the Library in Steam and select Properties.

Under the General tab click the Set launch options… button. Enter the following : ‘-FastLaunch’ (without the quotes)

Close the game’s Properties window and launch the game.

 

Another option is to download the SDK, and to execute fsdevmodelauncher.exe (inside Tools/bin) each time you want to run the game.
