  • 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.

    1. 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.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. 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.

MSFS - download size

I pre-ordered the full version of MSFS, and played it a few times, but then shelved it in favour of DCS.

Can anyone tell me what is the full download size as MSFS stands now after all those updates?

In two minds whether to delete the whole thing and download from scratch or try to update......
 
Premium Deluxe, Sim Update 10 Beta, with all World Updates, Ju-52, Waco, Reno Air Races and Top Gun DLC: 204GB

If you have the Windows/Xbox store version I would just reinstall. If you have the Steam version you should be good to just update it.

Thanks, crikey, need to clear some space :ernaehrung004:
 
Yep, and keep in mind that doesn't include the rolling cache (mine is set to 16GB), my Community folder for addons purchased outside the marketplace (currently at a modest 75GB) and the SDK + Samples and projects, so my total install is closer to 500gb and growing as more addons and World/Sim Updates are released.
 
My current install is around 1,100 Gigs (1.1 TB) including mods. Most of the mods are freeware, and they pile up fast. I'm sure there are others on here with much larger ones.

If it helps, my kid recently found a deal on 18 TB Seagate hard discs over on Jeff's site, for just under $300. They are a little over $300 now.

SSD? or HDD?
 
That sounds like spinners to me. 18TB in SSD would be a few thousand dollars. I found one WD drive available in 15.36TB listed at a penny short of $4,500.

I ain't from around here, who is Jeff?

@ Centuryseries, I tried to update my DCS open beta yesterday and could not because I have in on a 500GB SSD, but I have a free 1TB SSD sitting next to it, so I'll be taking care of that problem this weekend.

Yes DCS takes a fair amount of space too, I keep buying terrains that I never use :jump:

I'm going to have to bite the bullet with MSFS, it's a waste otherwise!
