You can make a 2nd thread using _beginthread() and draw some bar with OpenGL. You can't use engine commands there.

You know the exact loading time by measuring the time from the last loading time of the scene (you can put a default value which you measured on your PC, or average PC, before it's calculated on the target PC), so you can make the bar go smoothly (in sub-pixel steps) from 0 to 100% according to the known loading time.
