jlbelard Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I had to reinstall FS2020 this week-end and for the life of me I cannot remember what I did months ago to bypass these annoying ads for xbox, asobo,etc.. when starting FS2020. Any help in sharing the solution would be greatly appreciated J-Louis J-Louis Belard, 6 miles SW of KGAI Dell XPS,8930, I-7 9700, 32GB DD4, 512 SSD, 2TB HD, 6GB GeForce GTX 1660 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFRguy Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I timed it. Old way was 2min 24 sec. The new icon way was 2min 8 sec. (C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.FlightS imulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App "-FastLaunc) Not much of a saving. At least on my computer.

g7rta Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Hi Glen, you’ve also then got the time it takes to load a flight. This seems to vary quite a lot for me. I suppose it depends on airport/scenery you’re starting from etc Regards Steve Intel I9-13900K - Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX - 64Gb DDR5 5600Mhz - Asus RTX4090 ROG STRIX 24GB 3x 43” Panasonic 4k TVs - Corsair RMx 1200W PSU - 2 x 2TB M.2, 2 x 4TB SATA III and 1 x 4TB M.2 SSDs.

VFRguy Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I made a mistake. This time I timed it twice. Old way is 2min 55 sec. 1. new way is 1 min 55 sec. 2. new way is 1 min 42 sec. I have the "checking for update" option turned on. If I turned it off it would shave off another 20 sec. No further comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFRguy Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Those times were without loading any flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
