264GB occupied by MSFS?

The simulator occupies 264 GB on my drive. Is it normal?

Depends on the scenery and aircraft you have added. Mine is 320GB so yours doesn't seem out of order.

MSFS itself occupies 176 GB, and I have 492 GB of add-ons stored on a different drive. I use addon-linker to select those add-ons needed for a particular flying session and place links to them in Community (currently I have several hundred links in there, which together take up less than 2GB).

It occupies 270 on mine and I don't have the air racing installed.

Thanks for confirming.
That's a lot, I expected 100+ GB, not close to 300. I might have to move it on its own SSD.🤦‍♂️
