pepin1234 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) I was thinking I will be able to keep the 4 maps in my SSD until next map. Surprise, I am not able to install even the last update asking me for +40Gb free when I just have 22Gb free. this is becoming expensive too fast. hello it is really an update? if I have a module does not mean I want to keep the campaign or some extra stuff. it is a way to customize the update installer?

pepin1234 Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 The installer asked me if I want to change folder to a different location. This way to ask confused me and I decided do not hit YES (that make me think they gonna move the whole game...) So now I was forced to remove some other stuffs. After get the minimum space and start torrenting the update I was in shock... the download torrent size was really 11,444 mb. Why this? :cry: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will unpack them and that's when the 40+ GB space is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Biscuit Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Well I decided to go down the route of selecting yes as an alternative download location. Not sure what this is going to do. Does anyone have any experience with this? Will it copy the update back to my DCS main folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nirvi Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Well I decided to go down the route of selecting yes as an alternative download location. Not sure what this is going to do. Does anyone have any experience with this? Will it copy the update back to my DCS main folder? It will download and unpack on another drive, then copy / replace files without needing extra space.

Captain_Biscuit Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Thanks for the response Nirvi. That sounds great. So no need for me to do any manual copying afterwards. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzU Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Which update are you talking about? My DCS folder is only 53g. I use the stable version and it's up to date. Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bekay Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Which update are you talking about? My DCS folder is only 53g. I use the stable version and it's up to date. the size is mainly determined by the installed maps, size of "mods\terrains" since yesterday night (open beta update) is now 91GB.

NahkaSukka Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I made place removing Normandy map. What a shame. Me too because i don't never really use it. But still it always downloads the Normandy map when i update which means downloading of 10gb useless data which i have to manually delete after each update.

BuzzU Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I just downloaded the latest update for the stable version. Is it the same as the OB update because what I downloaded was only a bit over 1G. Where does the OP get 40g? I'm still getting 14mg speed on the download.

BuzzU Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I've been at this awhile. I know what planes I like. I also only fly American planes, so that narrows it down some too. Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
