Q-Tip91 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Please move if in the wrong spot. I'm still very new here. I'm trying to download the Nevada Test Range map and I'm getting the "not enough disk space in download folder" message. I still have 6.5GB of memory. Not sure if that's a lot or what but my last computer which isn't nearly as good as the one I have was able to handle the A10 and several other modules with no problem. I've done a disk cleanup, optimize, etc. Any other ideas? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Nevada uses 36 GB ... so it seems to me that you need to upgrade to a bigger hard drive. Other Maps are big too: Caucasus is 16 GB, Normandy is 11.5 GB and Persian Gulf is 33 GB.

sMashPiranha Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Do you have a 2nd hard drive or partition on your pc with more free space? If so you could move the download/nevada terrain folder and then create a junction in the original location.

Garyss Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 How many times have you tried to DL Nevada? If more than once you might have more than one copy lying around in your hard drive/SSD eating up space? Also look in your DSC folder titled "downloads" for a duplicate. Your main Nevada should be in the Terrains folder.

Some people must have some crazy rigs to run this software ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggot Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) Disk space Hello! I have two SSD drives, one system drive, and one for DCS where I have both Release and Beta-version installed. I dont however have space for the Nevada map in the Beta-installation (25 gb free...), but enough free space on my system drive. So, is it possible to have only the Beta-Nevada map moved/installed on the system drive? That would help me from having to buy yet another SSD... I use win 7.

It is possible, using the windows command: mklink /J ... but its a bit of a hassle, a better approach would be to just keep one version of DCS, as now there is little separating OpenBeta from Stable. In my case I choose the OpenBeta and deleted the other one.

coach Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Hm... my Program Files/Eagle Dynamics folder weights 84.6 Gb (Caucasus+Nevada), does that seem reasonable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
