Good call Alistair .. think Kel's survey only covers areoplanes , ( 5/6 gig ) for the South Island Scenery alone , thats work files as well , then aftr all that it gets busy ! ..

Nothing to Heath Wells Amazin 130plus GIG ! plus effort !! :) Congrad's to that one B)

On thought to whats installed , I install typically into required folder and away i go .. CAN Anybody recommend a scenery/hanger manager , that keeps all files/folders maybe on a seperate HD for example that can be accessed by FS when needed .

Can display and show workings for people who collect huge amounts off info and perfer to have on hand (close by ) .

Hmmm... Aircraft folder is 10.7 GB iwith 304 folders inside. Take out the IVAO aircraft, I have 122 flyable aircraft folders.. yikes
Addon scenery folder is 2.56GB, only 45 folders in there..
Scenery folder is 4.7GB- I guess Ultimate terrain USA fattens that one up?

Probably time for a re-install and clean out :lol:

Yikes Jason, that's huge! I only have around 100,000 files as well, despite being about a 1/3rd of your folder size.
That must be one seriously kitted out sim B)

Mines around 20gigs on a 40gig harddrive so a wee bit of room left. I have alot of payware planes that are big files sometimes but mostly sceneries. I have it in the addon folder but only have the NZ stuff and one or two others activated at any one time, otherwise the sim takes too long to load.
I do pretty much all my flying in NZ thanks to the GNZLAP and RBE and a few other developers that make local sceneries and afcads, and when the retro ai project comes out soon it will grow again. :plane:

Im only at 9.92 with 133,000 files. Im a little restricted at the mow cos my drive is only 38GB and I need space for when my fsx gets here :o

But my folder is still growing, I only installed just under 2mounths ago on this pc and am downloading and installing almost 50mb stuff a day :blink:
