When I start the FSX sim it can take ant where from 1 to 7 minutes to load. What is going on. I have an HP AMD X4 and have 8 gig of ram. Any ideas. Please help. |

First, defrag!
You also may have too many aircraft, scenery etc that slow up the loading. If you can delete any add-ons do so.
To be honest, I would just stick to the defrag and be happy that FSX works and not touch anything else.

I have only downloaded 4 planes and one mission. I ran defrag and the program still opens very slow.  |

Do you have 7,200 or 5,400 rpm hard drives.
What video card do you have.

Its the hard drive.

Yeah try not to download too much... It may seem like a great idea at the time but eventually you get like me and have over 60 gigs worth of FSX crap taking up valuable hd space, half of which I don't even fly or fly TO anymore. US AIR TALES- Stories of one man's virtual life as a pilot |
