Question about deleting official aircraft....

I wonder how much drive space uninstalling  most of the default aircraft will save? 

 

A lot, I'd guess.

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

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.

I've got the premium deluxe version (Steam). Here's a quick peek at the size of the various components in the Official/Steam folder (should be the same for the MSStore version):

  • 17.5 GB - Asobo aircraft (including "official" liveries)
  •   5.3 GB - Asobo airports
  • 10.8 GB - Microsoft airports (come with world updates)
  • 14.0 GB - Asobo flight tutorials
  • 73.9 GB - Flight Sim base files (can't get rid of these)
  • 28.5 GB - Various other stuff (cocpits, nav data, landing challenges, etc.

Total is about 150 GB. Add to that anything purchased and downloaded from the Marketplace.

So do you need to physically delete the folders from the OFFICIAL path or will removing content via the content manager suffice?

Thomas Derbyshire

If you don't want the content to come back, you need to remove it via the content manager.

Also, just to clarify, the listing remains in the Content Manager showing as uninstalled. If you want it back, just click install and it will redownload and install.
