I'd say around 8gb, and around 5gb compressed on the DVD.

Imagine FS11 on 2, dual-layered blu-ray discs.  Scary size!

1, and Radeon HD 3+ Series support.

FS9 is 1.8 outa the box, but most of us move that decimal one place to the right in no time.  I dont think it matters how big it is DEFAULT, but how many awesome addons we get

Aren't those Blue Ray discs just HD DVDs? That's what I heard on G4, but they aren't always reliable.

That's not correct. Blu Ray is a completely different technology from HD DVD. And much more dense. There are currently 200GB CDs beeing produced; with original sizes starting from 25GBs. HD DVD can only go up to about 90. (as far as my research reveals).

As far as FSX being released on 2 DVDs? One DVD is 4.81GBs So it would be safe to assume that it would be in 5-8GB range compressed on the DVD.

I read somewhere where a person said that one of the developers said fsx would take up around 14gb of hard disk space, although i cant find the link to it.

Since 2 DVDs equal to just under 10GBs... taking up 14 on your HD is possible, but thats kind of pushing it. I would stick closer to the 10GB uncompressed side. ;)
