One DVD is still almost twice as much as FS9. Those 1024x1024 textures shouldn't take up that much. They're tiled, compressed etc. We're not talking seamless photographic textures here. FS9's textures used something like 200-300MB on the CD.Yes, X-Plane comes on something like 8 DVD's, but that probably comes down to inefficent, poorly compressed file formats. After all, X-Plane 7's scenery came on 4 CD's and looked like FS98 at best.

I know a guy, whose sister has a friend, that works for a guy whose brother is in charge or the group that caters for the company that works for the man in charge of the group that works for the ACES team and he said it will be on 12 DVDs, so you can take that to the bank!

> Yes, X-Plane comes on something like 8 DVD's, but that probably comes down to inefficent, poorly compressed file formats. Not true. X-plane's new scenery includes worldwide SRTM coverage. Similar products for FS9 also cover multiple DVDs.Christian
