Many of the vanilla liveries take way too much space

[Hardcard]

Some of the vanilla textures for this plane are disproportionately heavy, it almost seems like they haven't been properly compressed.

 

These, along with some of the vanilla liveries for the tomcat (and other planes) make the DCS folder considerably heavier than it needs to be (TB SSDs aren't that cheap yet, every GB counts).

 

Could the dev team compress those ~500MB liveries down to a reasonable size, pretty please? ;)

Agreed, some liiverys are over 500mb.

They're making some changes to the external model and better compression is in the cards. Their current size is pretty ridic and this is a much needed change.
