I know that the "Xbox Aviators" repaints for the default aircraft alone, come to 1.6GB.

August 15, 20214 yr If you select them in Content it will show you the size to be deleted in the bottom right corner. I just selected all of the single engine aircraft except the wheeled 152, 172, DA40, and my Carenado Mooney and deleting those I selected would remove 2.97 GB. For grins I selected the range of Airbus listed and it would remove about 1.3 GB. Just as examples. In previous FS simulators did removing default aircraft not also remove those models from static and live traffic in the sim? Not sure I recall correctly.

August 16, 20214 yr Author So do you need to physically delete the folders from the OFFICIAL path or will removing content via the content manager suffice? Thomas Derbyshire
August 16, 20214 yr If you don't want the content to come back, you need to remove it via the content manager. ...jim ASUS Prime Z790-E, Intel i9 13900K, 32Gb DDR5 Ram, Nvidia 3090 24Gb, Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500 GB and 1 TB, Samsung Odyssey G9 Ultrawide 49" G-SYNC Monitor.
