Splitting DCS world into 3 separate Modules ??

[NIAGARA MOHAWK]

So would it be possible / feasible to in the future split DCS World into 3 separate modules  = Jets  / Helicopters / War Birds ??? . as to only have to download updates pertaining to said choice of A/C 

yes being selfish here , as I only fly the WWII war birds ,but others may prefer this also ,, as DCS is such a GB's hog for downloads of all the items for things other then what's needed for war birds taking up SSD space ...IE : i keep having to download update's that have nothing to do with the war birds , yes some items are there and some for the Core DCS , would still want those . but not all the unneeded or unwanted GB,s  as everything seems to be jet,jets,jets .jets / helo , helo , helo , helo ---and war birds get No Love ..

this was just a thought , as in the future DCS will be so big on GB space ??????????.. this could save space for all no matter the choice of perfered A/C  or you could have all 3 ...........

I totally get where this wish came from, however any space or download saving attained this way may be much smaller than you think.

First of all, the DCS Updater only downloads updates for terrains that you own, it will not download any file at all for maps that you don't own .. and maps are the biggest items on DCS by far.

Second, it downloads the cockpit updates for aircrafts that you own .. for all the rest it will only download updates needed for their AI versions.

Third, it downloads updates for the DCS core, irrespective of what you own .. and this update would not be saved by the scheme you propose ... unless ED went to all the trouble of making separate cores for the three aircraft types.
