Morat Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) My DCS folder seems pretty massive, I was wondering if I could compare? If I've got a load of cruft here I'll delete and reinstall but I don't fancy a huge download just on the offchance. So, I have 2.5open alpha only. No previous versions. Three maps (Caucasian, NTTR and Normandy) WW2 Asset Pack Two purchased a/c A-10C and Spitfire IX the normal default a/c. No campaigns or mission packs. No mods. Folder size is currently 109Gb. Is that excessive? If it's about right, I'll just have bite the bullet and buy a bigger SSD because I can no longer update. Thanks!

Art-J Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) With only two payware planes it should be lower, closer to 80-few or 90 gigs I guess. Mine is 96 with 3 maps, all warbirds, both Korean birds, MiG-21, Mi-8 and WWII assets pack. No campaigns. I also recall reading, that absolutely-everything-install would be about 115-120 gigs big. Check the folder for any "_downloads" (or whatever it was called) sub-folder, where some post-update temporary trash files could be left. Delete it. Then I would suggest running the cleanup command (open command window in "Bin" folder and type in dcs_updater.exe cleanup). That should in theory delete anything in the main game folder which shouldn't be there. That being said, as you can see it's still going to be a hefty folder so sooner or later bigger SSD is going to be a must anyway.

Here is mine (I'm using an old version of SpaceMonger, hence the different GUI) : My folder weighs 84 GBytes. I own NTTR map, Ka-50, Mi-8, Huey, FC3, MiG-15bis, Viggen, Harrier, Mirage 2000 and A-10C. Edited April 2, 2018 by Flappie Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

Rudel_chw Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Thanks a lot ... incredible that such an old utility still Works 18 years after ... this is my DCS Folder, and I have all the maps, all the aircrafts and almost all the Campaigns: So, the OP should run a DCS_Updater Cleanup, as most likely he has some old user mods installed in there :) For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
