Just curious. I have about 203 different aircraft + liveries in my Aircraft folder, although I need to get rid of some. That's a lot but I know some of you have even more. This includes things like cars and boats too.

Currently 185 folders including defaults (with another 60 in the Hangar). I check out a lot of aircraft for various reasons in all M$ sims & usually leave them installed afterwards. This means I have far more aircraft than I will ever need or use. Most are just a waste of HD space. I suspect the number of installed aircraft affects the time it takes for the sim to load. It also makes it more difficult to find the aircraft I do want to fly on the selection menu. Thanks for the reminder. It's about time I had a clearout. ::)

After removing most of my VA aircraft seeing I had to have ALL of them installed I'm now under 100 between my payware and freeware AC.
The problem is not enough time to fly them all :(

..just counted 'em...
107...

...!
which, I reckon, is around 100 too many...

...!
so, like Hagar says...
..time to have a clear out...

...!
LOL...LOL...LOL...!
I actually only fly around half a dozen aircraft in my hangar...so the rest is a waste of space...

...!
Cheers all...

P.S. ...wouldn't it be nice if FS 2004 allowed us to put our aircraft into seperate, "type", folders, so that we could select them by "type" in the main "Select Aircraft Menu"...
eg...
Piston, single engine.
Piston, twin engine.
Helicopters.
Autogyros.
Microlights.
Gliders.
Vehicles.
Ships.
..etc...etc...
It would be so much easier to find them...

...!
LOL...!

Is "An UnGodly Amount" a good answer? :P
I archive all my addon downloads to CD's so when I clean house, I still have a copy of the original. I still have 5 Zip Disks that have all my old FS98 aircraft on them. And, I'm up to, I think, 5 CD's that have all my FS2000 and FS2002 addon aircraft, including all the scenery and utilities that I've collected for both versions.
What a library! If anything ever happened to the SimV archives, between all of us, we could probable get Pete up and running, again, in no time. ;D

I don't have any right now. FS2002 doesn't work anymore and I can't reinstall because disc 1 was scratched, so instead of buying a new copy, I decided to wait for FS2004.

Fozzer, that probably culd be done. It may take a while, but under "ui_manufacturer", instead of the brand name, put the type of aircraft it is, i.e., jet, single prop, twin prop, etc. And then, under type, put the brand name, and under variation, put the type of aircraft.
