Special Server Maintenance
Just when you think you have everything running some what better...
You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.
- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

1TB will be plenty. Here is how everything breaks down on my system.
Core files and launcher: 130GB
Community folder (mods): 60GB (this will obviously vary depending on how many addons you install)
Rolling cache: 25GB (you can choose the size of your manual cache, 25GB has been fine for my needs)
Manual cache: Variable, depending on how much scenery you are manually caching
SDK: ~3.5GB
So even with quite a few mods and the SDK installed, a 1TB will be more than enough.

, my second had a 20 GB drive, then it goes up to 80 GB, 250Gb, 500GB…, …2TB (and It’s nearly full)

One thing worth pointing out is that MSFS is continually growing, it's already tens of Gb bigger than it was on release. As each World update comes along expect it to eat up more and more space!!
Having said that, I have MSFS, P3D V4.4 and V5.1 and DCS with the default Caucasus and extra Persian Gulf and Channel maps and still have 200+Gb left.

If you outgrow the 1TB drive, you can always use MSFS Addons Linker to keep some sceneries, etc on a second drive.
It's a great utility. I use it to keep loading times down -- I only load airports for the region I'm going to be flying in, with set-up groups like "UK and Ireland," "US West Coast," etc.
