January 1, 201214 yr Another possibility is that the drive is formated as FAT32 which only allows files up to 4 GB to be saved. In that case, eformat as NTFS.IAN Ryzen 5800X3D, Nvidia RTX5080 - 32 Gig DDR4 RAM, 1TB & 2 TB NVME drives - Windows 11 64 bit MSFS 2024 Premium Deluxe Edition Resolution 2560 x 1440 (32 inch curved monitor)
