826: Loading Time Issue in Swiss after SU13

| Tom Tsui

After recent sim update 13, all my session loading time to any airport in Switzerland was untolerably long.  I tested to find out that it could take up to 20 mins.  Under such circumstances, I had no choice but to break MSFS from running.

Earlier today I noted that Taburet had released an update to “fix the loading issue” of its “Switzerland Austria Roads”.  It gave me a cue that the loading time issue I’d been facing could be caused by the “Switzerland Austria Waterflow 2” enhancement from the company as well.

Without much hesitation, the addon was disabled and bingo.  The issue was gone.

Hope there will be an update to fix the issue of the Waterflow addon soon.
