Hi Pete,
In the process of trying to comply with your request for the saved flight files, I discovered a couple of facts that I hadn't been aware of, since I have only been using the PMDG aircraft recently:
The disparity between aircraft loading times on my system beween using AdvDisplay 2.123 and 2.13 exists regardless of the aircraft type being loaded and whether or not the aircraft is loaded over a previously saved flight as described in my original post.
For example, opening FS2004 in the normal way and using Create a Flight, the loading times are for the default Cessna are as follows:
V2.123 V2.13
To "Fly Now" 1 sec 48 sec
From "Fly Now" to Cockpit Display 12 sec 50 sec
I am E-mailing you the saved .flt and .wx files for both cases.
Yes I do have WinXP SP2 installed.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sandy
