IL-2 Size on disk

[Algy-Lacey]

Hello there,

 

I have run out of space on my SSD hard drive, it is just 120Gb. I now cannot download the update to IL-2 as there is no space to download it to.

 

I have checked the size of the IL-2 directory... and it's a whopping 76 Gigabytes!

Should it be this large?

 

Thanks,

Algy-Lacey

Mine's only 40.5GB

It should be aprox. 60~ GB (My folder weights 65 with additional content).
I mostly buy SSDs on black fridays, each year you have new sales with higher capacity.
Nowdays 120 SSD costs very cheap, I would wait for hardware sale and buy at least 1 TB.

Seems a little big. Mine is 37.6 GB.

Also remember know matter what you actually own, you still get the full game downloaded.

 

Check your date folders to see what all is in there.

That's the thing... I haven't downloaded any additional content, just the 1 bare metal spitfire skin

 

Today I'm gonna buy myself another SSD... There's a 480Gb Sandisk one for £56.99 on amazon, should last me a while, then I'll probably do a fresh install, just to be sure.

 

Thanks for the responses guys

Don't forget recorded tracks. If you're in the habit of hitting the record button they add up quickly. I have 3GB of them and I rarely use it.

My install is exactly 42 gig, with all 4 Battles, about 24 campaigns, and a good number of 4k skins. And all but 2 collector planes.

This.

 

They build up and take alot of space.

Often tracks from earlier versions don't work so no need to keep them all

I've got a feeling this might be the answer, thanks!

 

Just checked and the updates folder alone is 42 Gb!

 

I'll delete all but the most recent update and see how I get on.

I haven't recorded any tracks.

 

 

Thanks again,

And we found the "issue" named "Tracks"...
