September 6, 201114 yr Incredible, after 5 years FSX with all addons is nearing the 300Gb mark. This weekend I am going to build a new very fast pc system and was checking the size of Windows, FSX and all other programs where. First I thought that 1x 60Gb SSD and 1x 120Gb SSD were going to be more than enough.Now I have 1x 60Gb SSD and 3x 120Gb SSD lying here, ready to be built into the pc.And all of them just for Windows + FSX....... You surely have experienced the same. Just curious about it. 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0
September 6, 201114 yr Do you keep alot of photoscenery on the same drive as FSX? That's a really big install. I keep my FSX and airports on an SSD, and my large photosceneries on a separate 300gb Velociraptor. They load plenty fast and keep my overall FSX install *relatively* small.
September 6, 201114 yr My FSX folder is 60.5GB and there's tons of scenery I haven't explored yet and some aircraft I feel bad about not having flown that much even though I paid for them. I can't imagine how much stuff there must be in a 300GB install... or how to find the time to actually use it all... -

In a couple of months I am going buy another 120 Gb SSD , so I can put extra photoscenery like France and Italy on it when they will be released ........ 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0
September 7, 201114 yr I'm roughly around 300 GB myself, most my free third party add-on scenery, misc. utilities/programs, and a back-up of a zipped up 'virgin' FSX install, on a second partition.
September 7, 201114 yr 226Gb before I decided to do a reinstall last weekend. Big chunk of the 226Gb is used by FSGlobal mesh (FSGlobal 2010 + FSGlobal Ultimate Americas + FSGlobal Ultimate Europe & Africa), which counts for roughly 80Gb. Regards, Frank van der Werff

September 7, 201114 yr 600 gb of my 1tb Hard Drive and 74 gb of my 143 gb Hard Drive Nutter. I don't have that much data on my whole system! My FSX installation takes up a paltry 47.7 Gb: > UTX USA and CAN> FSGenesis terrain mesh (their entire global mesh library for FSX)> UT II> ASE> Edit VoicePack> About 250 (and counting...) individual AFCADS in the Addon Scenery/Scenery folder> A2A's B377 and B-17, and RealAir's Duke B60 Piston> The whole Ultimate GA Library> HTAI Cessnas> Many WOAI GA aircraft, and many commercial airlines that weren't included in the UT II package.> U.S. East Coast/Gulf of Mexico/Carribean shipping traffic> OZx Australian/NZ shipping traffic
