When opening the Aircraft page, my FSX takes a very long time to open. This has occured after I have added new aircraft beyond the FSX default. I have tried unloading certain new aircraft to no avail. Does anyone else have this issue or know of a simple way to correct? Thanks

you might try running defrag on the hard drive in question. It may help a bit.

I am defraging on a weekly schedule... Hmmmm I hate to delete some planes I like. Thanks for the thought anyway.

there is a possibility that you have a lot of A1 AC.
It slows down to open the AC page.

I know in FS2004, you can have all your AI aircraft removed from your aircraft page, but they will still show up when running FS9-the computer, and not you, controls the AI planes-you would do that by editing any AI planes .air file using an editor like AirEd and changing the aircraft type from 1, which shows up on your aircraft menu, to 2, which "ghosts" the aircraft-you won't see it on your menu. I don't know if the same thing works in FSX. Maybe there is also a lot of planes under multiple names in your menu which could slow it down, not sure about your pc's performance either. These can be changed, but you need to know how to modify aircraft cfg's,etc.
