How many aircraft are in your menu?  If you have a whole lot of aircraft with multiple paints, it takes a while.

To speed it up, delete the ones that are collecting dust, or put them in a separate folder for storage. (Or, more drastic, delete the extra textures that you don't use.  How many paint variation of any given aircraft do you need?)

Defrag the hard disk that contains FSX.

I just did 3 back-to-back COMPLETE/Name defrags using O&O.. still takes 1min 25sec to start up.. but I do have a lot of aircraft and paints on there, so no wonder.

Oh alright. Thats what I thought you were talking about but I wasnt sure. I keep all the aircrafts I download in a folder in my documents just for a back up but if I ever overload my aircrafts alot but thanks ill refer to that  

Me too.  I keep all the downloaded zip's in an archive folder.  I'm not sure why, since there's this huge warehouse of zipped downloads on-line, already.  ;)

DON'T forget, that you are opening an application 14gb in size. It varies mostly by hard drive RPM and amount of RAM (and the speed of the RAM).

Add    DisablePreload=1

Mine takes a while to start as well, but only the very first time.
If I close (quit) the sim, and reopen it, it starts in exactely 7 seconds
The DisablePreload is in my FSX.cfg as well.

Funny thing is that some planes take ages to load. For example, the BAC 1-11 from dmflightsim. When I select it nd confirm my choice, it takes at least 20 seconds before anything happens...

Mine does the same thing (except I don't know about the 7 sec thing
