Just built a new system three weeks ago, but managed to copy over all of my files from the old machine so it sits at 82Gb on a separate Raptor drive.

31GB, of which FSglobal is 11.7G and aircraft folder is another 11.7G.

I'm curious why Chinese people would love that?
because in Chinese 8 sounds like "prosper", hence their favorite number.
