In the times where you go FSX addon crazy, adding planes and scenery 5 times a day, have you ever stopped to think how big this is making your FSX main folder and how many files were actually in it?

I thought it would be interesting to find out how big peoples FSX files are. Here are the properties of my main MS Flight Simulator X folder:

Everyone should either upload a photo of their FSX properties window, or just write down the important info. Wink

All you have to do is go to your main FSX folder, right click, then go down to properties.
NOTE: It may take a while to add all the data up, so be patient.

I'm sure a lot of you have looked at this info before, but it would be interesting to see how much everybody adds. And remember, the default folder with no addons is about 13.5Gig I think, so take that away from from your total size and thats how many addons you've added. I've added around 38.1 gig then.

So just leave a reply, and maybe we could find the average amount of addons added from the everyday Simviation member! Cheesy
