Mine is just under 9gb, by about 2kb! I cleared a load of my old scenery add-ons and aircraft out that I don't use anymore this morning as I got the 'you are nearly out of diskspace you wally' message, and its still this big! I think its perfectly normal! So I'm down to the bare essentials.... 27 Spitfires, some big Antonov stuntplanes, a few helis etc etc.

15 Gigs!

And I recently deleted about 5 gigs

[Blade]

Woa, 10.76 GB's

[pacnorwest_sim]

4.33gb... I'm kinda choosy about what I download and what I keep loaded.

[Maccers]

5Gb
This is after two weeks from a re-format

[Oso]

FS2002 AND Cfs3 combined - only 1.5G!

*sniff* *sniff*

Waaaaaaa!

I feel inadequate!

[Woodlouse2002]

3.5Gb... Not bad I suppose... Considering I don't play it that much. I need the space on my PC too... It will not get much bigger.

[ATI_7500]

uh,2.13gb. that's the biggest folder on my whole hdd.

[Whitey]

3.51Gb....not too bad...I was expecting worse.

[Fozzer]

I have two hard drives.

The main one is 20 Gig in size. 9 Gig used, 11 Gig free.
The spare on is 10 Gig in size. 7 Gig used, 3 Gig free.

My main FS 2002 folder is 2.3 Gig in size.

My aircraft folder is 982 Mb in size, and contains many more planes than I will ever use... ...!!!

My Gauges folder is 165 Mb in size, and I swear it contains a nest with a Queen Gauge inside. Every time I open it there are many more little gauges in there than there were the day before..... ....!
I'm sure they breed over night.... ...!
LOL...LOL...LOL...!

The remaining space in the FS 2002 folder is make up of various utilities, effects, scenery, and lots of other things, like Icons, etc, of which I have no idea what they do.... ....!
LOL...!

Cheers...

You missed out my category (4 - 5 Gb). Mine is 4.21 Gb so I clicked the category below. I seem to remember a full install of FS2002 is around 1.8 Gig so this should be subtracted to get an idea of what you've added. I have 178 aircraft folders installed including the defaults.

The civil sims are not my first love. I have 3 duplicate installs of CFS2 & 2 of CFS1. I also have FS98 & FS2000 installed with many addons in all cases.  All this on a 40 Gb HD. Many panels & sounds are aliased to save space. Nothing is there that doesn't need to be & FS utilites etc. are installed to a separate directory. My addon scenery for all M$ sims is installed to a remote scenery directory so it does not affect the size of the sim root directories.

...nah....it's enormous, has a long tail, long legs, and a mechanical, extending, dripping jaw which threatens to rip my inside out if I even think of removing any of the little gauges from the Gauge Nest Folder... ....!

LOL...LOL...LOL... ...!

Be scared, be v.v.afraid!
