Default Space-Eating Games

This is the thread where you brag about how much space some of your games take up on your hard drive. I think the way it's supposed to work is that having fatter game folders means you're manlier or something; I dunno.

So...

Railworks: 38.9 GB
FSX: 21.8 GB
Il-2 1946: 14.3 GB
Homeworld 2 (3 separate installs running I don't even know how many mods): 13.2 GB

I also have a huge pile of Railworks and FSX addons that I've downloaded but not installed due to not playing either of those very much recently, so the total space they're responsible for is likely much larger.

IL-2 Sturmovik: 18GB
Silent Hunter 4: 19GB (including small mod folder)
Flight Simulator 9: 37GB (not including some external software)

Those are pretty modest installs by some standards

I've just mentioned in the FS section that my Rise of Flight install is now running at 15.5 Gigs after installing a load of new skins.

OK - I'm now at home and have checked, nothing tooooo big. Apart from FSX.



And that's not including a few other bits and bobs that are external to it!

Oh, I forgot about ArmA 2 as well. That weighs in at a delicious 23.3 GB for me

93 gigs! For FSX. Wow what are you running with it? I've got 51 gigs for fsx, and includes Orbx PNW, PFJ, and NRM

I used to go a bit mad with add-ons

In fairness some are probably misplaced add-ons for FS9. But not many.
