514Gb FSX, FSX-SE, and P3D v 2/3 combined.

Steve Waite: Engineer at codelegend.com

Photoscenery 2tb external wd Hardrive USB, and 20gb on other items active sky, general avaition planes and my own scenery I make using sketch up and blender at times.

FSX - 709 Gigs.....Almost everything Orbx....lots of freeware photoscenery that I turn on and off as I feel appropriate, everything FS Addon, Everything RTMM, tons of Sim Addons, tons of freeware airports and a bunch of commercial one's....one can just never have enough scenery....and a pile of freeware and smattering of payware airplanes. It takes far too long to load but once I'm up and running, its a beautiful thing.

 

:o 

 

And I was worried about my 150GB folder... :tongue:

Wow!!  And I thought 50 GB was kinda pushing it. Which begs the next question... is there a limit?  From the replies here, it doesn't look like there is.

Hardware: i7-8700k, GTX 1070-ti, 32GB ram, NVMe/SSD drives with lots of free space.
Software: latest Windows 10 Pro, P3Dv4.5+, FSX Steam, and lots of addons (100+ mostly Orbx stuff).

350 GB and only a very few photosceneries. Although much loved Netherlands photoscenery is not currently installed - that would add +100 GB.

Only 38 GB for me, I now have folder envy.

 

But I do have Active Sky 2012 and Edit Voice Pack X on another drive, they would still add only 5.5 GB.

My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.

136GB, don't feel too bad now :)
P3D 167GB
