DisablePreload=1

Post by DarrenL »

I understand that entering that line into the FSX.cfg file will speed up the initial load time as without it FSX pre-loads up a lot of scenery and things that it "thinks" you might be using.

I have seen it mentioned in two different places in the cfg and wondered what the proper place for it is. I will test it tomorrow but I always find that loading FSX up first time takes a while and then restarting is much quicker anyway so a change or cfg file might not give a true representation without rebooting the PC.

The locations I have seen it mentioned as going are in the MAIN and STARTUP sections as below.

[MAIN]
Location=640,452,1664,1220,\\.\DISPLAY1
DisablePreload=1

{after the Location line}

[STARTUP]
DisablePreload=1
DEMO=0
SHOW_OPENING_SCREEN=1

{At the top of the section}


Does anyone have this line in and know that it does speed up the initial startup loading times and say where they have it please, even if it's somewhere else?
