Nevada disk size is excessive


Recommended Posts

I analyzed my DCS drive to find out what's hogging all my disk space since my 250GB drive, which has DCS and only DCS on it, is quickly filling up with each update. The terrains are obviously the biggest offenders, but something doesn't make much sense:

 

Nevada - 33.9GB

Caucasus - 14.5GB

Persian Gulf - 8.9GB

Normandy - 1.6GB

 

Persian Gulf covers much more area than NTTR, yet NTTR is 3.8x in file size? I don't get it, especially considering the low-quality textures and buildings, and flat terrain, compared to PG.

Your Normandy size seems too small, how did you got the info?

What really doesn't make sense is how WinDirStart reports folder sizes :D.

 

Normandy has always been about 15-16 GB big. I don't own Gulf map, but I recall reading at a time of its release that it was about 25 GB back then. Nevada looks about right.

Here I've an updated view of my DCS install, with all Maps, using up 194 GB:

This doesn't include the Saved Games folder space, as that is on another drive.
