Seems like most Devs don’t know optimisation now, I remember the days where an entire COD or Halo was crammed into a 10 > file, now it’s rare to find a AAA game under 100

Installed it purely for the WCML

Yeah same, thought paying the extra £7 for deluxe was better than £45 on release for early access and installing stuff. I thought installing that was bad (still need install some older stuff for it), the MSFS folks are going be sitting there for weeks…

Around 100 gigs they said

i was going to say this isnt on the topic but i forgot about what the name of this forum was

LeChonk · September 23, 2024, 11:05pm

this is the aviation taking point and MSFS is one of the most popular flights Sims so I thought it would fit

Not sure how far back, but they’d added the inibuilds A20N V2, and it had nearly all the functionally and realism of the PMDG 3rd party planes, but it’s in the core sim and works amazing on Xbox. It’s what I’ve been flying most of lately. Infact just this morning a did a short KLM flight from BRU to AMS… usually an E170/190 but it’s what I got.

My current installment of MSFS 2020 takes about 100GB of space plus 20GB reserve, of which about 15GB is add-ons. It was more than 50GB reserve space, but I tricked it down to the minimum.
I heard though with Cloud and other tricks, MSFS 2024 should be optimized down to 50GB, at least for us Xbox users. I’d imagine it carries over to PC.

Try train sim classic
I have a few hundred dlc (it’s an addiction) and I reaching almost 500 gb is size I beleive, it’s painful

Edit: 250 gb size, I doubled it by accident, and also I only have 120 dlc apparently, thought I has more

My ipad has like 150 giggs lol

Thatflyerguy · September 24, 2024, 8:24pm

Storage alone isn’t the main thing lol

Ecoaviation · September 24, 2024, 8:32pm

I don’t know why people are talking about Trains but ok?

ukplanespotter757 · September 24, 2024, 8:54pm

On about storage of different games compared to Microsoft Flight Sim.

MSFS is awesome this time, I bought all the planes on the picture you have, the quality is really amazing

Thatflyerguy · September 28, 2024, 4:14am

It hasn’t released yet…?

ATC · September 28, 2024, 11:58am
