DCS reduced Installation size for ME only

Just wondering if anyone has played around with deleting certain assets in the DCS directory on a laptop for instance to reduce the installation size for Mission Editor only operation.

 

I'm guessing there are many files unneeded if I only plan on using the Mission Editor.

 

Do I need to install each of the terrains to create missions for them? and which assets are needed if I will never actually load anything but ME?

 

We could probably get a pretty small minimum installation with many unnecessary files deleted.

 

has anyone done this?

Modules: Persian Gulf | Normandy | Channel | Nevada | Supercarrier | WWII Assets | FC3 | Spitfire | P-51D | P-47D | F-86F | L-39 | AV-8B | F-16C | F/A-18C | A-10C | F-14B | A-4E-C | BS2

 

System: X570 AMD-3900X | 32GB DDR4 3000 | 2TB Gen 4x4 5GB/s NVME | Dual 1070 TI | 4k 32" Samsung

Basically you don't need to install anything but DCS World to create missions, as far as I am aware.

So you can omit downloading the modules and terrains, I guess. Further reducing the install, would be troublesome, as any update would "fix" the missing files.

Minimal installation set is DCS base and necessary terrain(s). You can make any mission without any module but terrain.
