Can anyone tell me if there is a limit to the amount of downloads(aircrafts,textures/gauges/ ect.....) that the game can actually store?  Just wondering Any answers would be great  THANKS

Theres is no limit as far as the sim goes.but it could take longer to load the sim if it has as much installed as mine has.thats the only problem i have found by haveing alot of downloads installed.but now your hard drive has a limit.so watch out for that one.

I've taken out all the stuff I don't use and parked them in a "Hangar" file outside FS9 itself.     This includes all the History of Flight planes that I've had a look at but which don't interest me.     I can always get them back, their gauges are still in the gauges file.

I tend to download stuff just to have a look at it and try it out - if it doesn't appeal I park it for future use..     I think it has improved my loading up time but this point usually gets comments either way from people that know a lot more about it than I do.

Yes thats a verry good idea Bazza.and if i download a plane with gauges i dont put the gauges in untill i have checked the plane out to see if i want to keep it or not cause you can still test fly it by hitting the W key in 2D panel and have the default gauges to fly by.that way you dont have a lot of unwanted gauges when you deleat a plane out you dont like.

Yeah, my gauge file always grows to an gigantic size and its too much hassle to clean them out.

When installing new a/c you can put any included gau. files in the a/c's Panel folder, and they will work. That way if you scrap the a/c the gau.files go with it..

If other a/c also need the gau. files you can move them to the Gauges folder.
