How BIG is your FlightSim folder!!!!!!!

Recommended Posts

Out of curiosity I happened to check the size of my FlightSim folder....and I was amazed....almost 10gig. The aircraft folder alone takes up almost 6.5gig. What a beast of a program.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/51332.jpgSorry for the poor clarity...I had to enlarge the image to get the text somwhat visibleKroswynd (Crosswind)

LOL, I am trying to be more selective so far with FS9, my FS2002 folder was over 20 gigs, that took forever to delete but right now I am at 8 gig for FS9, man, I need to stay out of the library!

>It had to happen. FS envy.>>I've got a 40 gb hard drive, with nothing but FS9, associated>backups, and downloaded files I haven't burned yet that is>more than half full!>>sgBut are you sure? Maybe it's really less than half empty?I only have 5 add-on planes and nothing else so I'm almost running FS9 out of the box. Now FS2002 was a different story; I had 3 add-ons and a couple of BU sceaneries. Yes, I admit it, I have a little folder, but I don't feel I'm any less of a virtual pilot because of it.Jon

> with so much good stuff I hardly get to use LOL.>>-DanielI had tons of stuff with FS2002, most of which I never used. I ended up having a disk crash and I just couldn't be bothered reloading the gigs of stuff again. Now I run mean and lean. Wish I could say the same for my ever growing bulk. Jon
