How much space FE/SF/WOV/WOE takes in your HD?

[Silverbolt]

in the Third question:"How much space have OUR HD", the correct is How much space have YOUR HD

 

 

 

this can sound strange , but i spend a lot of memory in my old pc, and i just have a little 20Gb HD, now i want check if im the only here who spend a lot of memory in third wire games.

Right now I have 20.41GB of Thirdwire stuff on my HDD. Not too long ago I ran out of HDD space (only have 40GB) so I removed (copied to CD) a full SFP1 Korea install, WOV (based on time I spent flying it, it was the least used), and cleaned out a bunch of stuff (unzipped files, double copies of planes and terrains, etc) from my Downloads folder. I was able to get about 4.5 GB of space back doing that. So before I did that I had nearly 26GBs of Thirdwire stuff.

Heck, I just checked and my merged SFP1/WOV/WOE install with mods is at 19GB! Plus my FE install is at a paltry 2.6GB.

 

I've already made a DVD-R with SFP1, WOV, WOE, and Full Merged installs (all stock and fully patched) for backup.

 

I'm thinking maybe I should do the same thing for a modded SFP1/WOV/WOE install. Have a 'basic' modded merged install for things like enviromental and weapons mods. But then have the campaigns, aircraft, ground objects, and terrain be 'era/theatre' specific. That way if I feel like BoB campaign, just loadup the WWII DVD...for Korea area, a Korea DVD, etc. Sure would save some HD space...

This is a good point to remember, few days ago i risk my SF dvd with a pen :(

result:i lost my game !

so every time beckup your game

I merge everything into one gigantic install, it's over 30 gigs. I moved it to a fresh 250gb HD from an older 40GB that couldn't contain it and 2 other games.

[Kirsten]

Well, SFP1 with everything 6.5GB, Werners F111 cockpit another whopping 6.35 GB and what I call "storage" (sort of an archive: all downloads, skins ,"Davis Monthan", vids, links etc etc ) another 18.3 GB.

Actually don't understand why the F111 cockpit takes up such a lot of space....

 

Aju,

Few years ago it was inimaginable!

LoL

today i remember the old 20Gb HD(i still have it in another pc) i has to format it 3 in 3 months!

and now with 250.... i dont think in format for the next 2 years

[+drdoyo]

3 folders (2 operating games and one cleaned out WOV folder acting as mod warehouse) = 44 Gb

on 1- 150 Gb slave HDD.

 

 

I need to finish Tainted Cigar so I can remove it and do a Korea or WWII install ........HMmmmmm (thinks Final Countdown)

[+ravenclaw_007]

SFP1/WOV/FE/SFP1-WW2 with a total of 67GB (the SFP1 uses 52GB ) on a 150GB HD

6GB?????

 

Dude, all my F-111 variants with the cockpit don't even take up a gig...that must be some ultra detailed cockpit! :)

OMFG!

10,3 GB!!

[Viggen]

Don't have a number but alot! And where is an F-111 cockpit?

[+Wrench]

don't know exactly how much space I've got taken up with the 3rd Series...but with 17 install between the 4 game (FE/SF/WoV/WoE)....I'd be actually afraid to find out!!!

My WOV is 11GB with original files and addons.

[+SayethWhaaaa]

I'm going with seperate installs these days so I can have my MP version and my pimped versions, but all up, my single WoE version I'm using close to 11gig on my 80-100gig HD. I can't remember exactly how big it is but I'm getting my half TB ride soon! WOOT!

[+Dave]

First Eagles is 5.1GB

X4 WOE installs 112 GB

WOV is 21.2 GB

SF DS install is 7.2 GB

OTC (My personal version) 11.2 GB

 

My computer has a 500 GB HD. I also run X2 EHDs, one 500GB and one 250GB. For a total of 1.25 TB. Space isn't an issue.

[+FOTF]

I have just over a TB worth of HD space (a 600 Gig master with a 500 gig slave) and my main WoE install takes up 73 gigs and then I have a seperate install that I use exclusively for skinning, it just has the Naval aircraft I skin and that is another 14

[johnlind2002]

I found out that the series was taking up far to much disk room so bought a 500gb external hard drive and am in the process of transfering the games across

[Wolf65]

around 1gb, i don't install much addons

[Heck]

WOV 5.01g

WOE 4.76g

WW2, Korea, FE (merged) 9.86g

 

About 20 gigs total. Had a Mid East version, but put it on cd to save room. My hd is only 33.8, so I guess I'm pretty devoted to this sim...

[Wolf65]

Heck, i just fly the singleplayer missions and maybe the stock campaign once in a while.

No wonder it takes up so little room...

[DaSpungie]

at on poiint i had 80+ gigs of sf

12 installs

down to 3 sf installs plain for online, ww2 and one i swap planes and terrains in and out of for 1950's to modern

one wov install online only

2 woe one online and one modded just with euro theater jets

[Viper6]
