40th Anniversary Installed Size??

Featured Replies

Anyone know what the installed size of the SU11/MSFS 40th anniversary package, [including the 12 aircraft], is going to be?

May have to make space on the SSD.

Unknonw, we probably won't know until it releases on the 11th.

The SU11 Beta doesn't include any of the 40th Anniversary Content.

You can install or uninstall airplanes... your choice!

Time for a new SSD!  The "regular" ones are dirt cheap.  

For MSFS alone is the reason I got dual 2 TB M.2's haha!

Understood Bert.

I was just curious if any size figures had been released.

The upgrade from su10 to su11b is 1.8GB. If you add 2GB per plane I guess you get close. 
 

// 5800X3D // RTX 3090 // 64GB RAM // HP REVERB G2 //

Nothing has been released. No one knows. Probably quite a few GBs of space. Maybe 30.

I hate when anyone tells you to throw money in the direction of a retailer to solve a problem, like everybody has cash to burn...😠

 

But, if you have to consider deleting something from your drive, it's probably too full already, so buy a new one!😝

OS:     Win11 Home; Mobo: Asus TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WiFi D4; CPU: Intel i5-12400 (Alder Lake) 4.4 GHz
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 64Gb (4x16GB) 3600 MHz; GPU:  MSI Radeon RX 5700XT [8GB] 
SSD:  Corsair Force MP510 (for OS);  2x 1TB & 1x 2TB Sabrent Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 (one for sim, two for addons)
HDD:  Seagate 3TB (Data); Seagate 1TB (Programs), ASUS TUF Gaming VG32VQ1B Curved 31.5" monitor, 1440p, 38Mbs ethernet 

Fulcrum One Yoke, Honeycomb Bravo throttle, Thrustmaster Airbus TCA sidestick & throttle, Logitech Pro pedals, Xbox wireless gamepad (1st gen)

My guess: some number between 20 and 25GB for the download size, for a full install, but I assume you could only download the new aircraft you want.

Cheers, Ed

About a year ago I uninstalled a whole group of default aircraft. About 2 months later, I got a big mandatory download, and they were all reinstalled. Is that is what is supposed to happen?

Default aircraft, yes... not sure if these are optional... we shall see 😉

Is there any way to avoid this 40th anniversary   stuff, which I will probably never use?

Totally agree.  However is control over that available during the update process itself?

No idea, will have to wait for it to release to find out.

If it's part of the core update and not a separate download like World Updates, than no. You'll be forced to install it then delete it after.
