Mac6737 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I've been told here that having a lot of add-ons in the Community folder increases your load time. (OK, there were some dissenting views.) Well, what about the Official folder? I looked it over today, and there's an awful lot of stuff I won't use -- in particular, a few ugly liveries for the default aircraft. Can't I just toss them (or move them somewhere out of the sim)? Same with bush flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Yes you can, but the next Sim Update will replace them all and take even longer than usual to install.

Sent from my KFDOWI using Tapatalk Replace them, I get. But "longer than usual"? Why so? BTW, It takes me about 5 minutes on average to get to the Home screen. Then about 2 minutes to load a flight. So a CTD is a major PITA. Also BTW: I believe I've read there's to be a big update Tuesday. Good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Longer than usual because the update will re-install all of your default aircraft and liveries if any are missing.

If you delete stuff crudely from the Official folder, you're compromising the software integrity, so you're risking problems and (as Tiger said) it will try to repair itself by reinstalling all the recoverable missing stuff at the first available chance. What you should do instead is deleting all the unwanted items from the Content Manager within game. This way you can be sure you won't delete any mandatory files, and the deleted items won't be reinstalled every time. Believe me, I've deleted this way most of the default stuff I won't use, and it works perfect.

I had removed one livery from Official to see if is replaced by the next update, but I shall replace it ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
