Same problem here after purchase of A-10C II upgrade and openbeta update, repair/clean up and running the game again I now have an 81GB download to hopefully get my game back to normal

Win10 can do this natively with the compact command. GUI available if you don't like using command line - https://github.com/Freaky/Compactor

Thanks, USBDeview seems close enough to what I want. A tray tool where you could quickly select a profile would be nice though

I'd like to be able to easily disable my hotas etc when playing non flight sim, disable gamepad when playing flight sim etc without hunting under my desk for usb plugs, does a tool for this exist already?

I had this issue in free flight normandy but then noticed the popping engines issue and completely forgot about it Sent from my Redmi Note 5A using Tapatalk

Yup

You can move the saved games folder to your SSD in the folder properties if you have enough free space, e.g. I have no idea if it's helped performance at all

I use junctions to move less frequently used folders to another hdd, easily done with this tool http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html Sent from my Redmi Note 5A using Tapatalk

Release and Stable are the same thing

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. This tool would be helpful - http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html

Apparently some mmo players in China are seeing improvements using Wtfast. Might be worth a try?
