Unknown, not released yet LoL

 

[beebee23]

funny isn't ?

[Halon]

Fair question but we won't know the answer till it's fully released I suspect? The map isn't available yet, I'm very much looking forward to it though.

From what I understand, the file size is the same and all things are updated. If you have purchased (have access to) any mods, then you can play them. If you haven't, then you cannot play them, but the file size is the same overall.
So the same disk space will be required regardless. Sooooo.............. You might as well buy it.

Someone please correct me if I am incorrect on this.

Cheers.

Yep, you are right. When the Update 5.001 gets released everyone's game will download the complete update, no matter if BON was purchased or not. If you purchase BON after its official release, there is no download neccessary, just the activating of the content.

Alittle over 60 GB here, without adding skins;

thanks to all ! currently mine is Il2 Bodenplatte only (64,3GB) with some skins & missions, today i've 83 GB free space disk on my drive, i think it's enough to get BON?

BON size = Current size +  Normandy Map + Assets for remaining planes + Whatever is released for FC2 + Tank Crew new tanks (probably will come after BON).

 

Since it's all in the same install, regardless of what you own, the install size will continue to grow.

 

I think you are safe for a while with 83GB remaining.

Since it all installs as one game, the install size is going to be what you already have + whatever BoN adds.  Exactly what that will be is TBD, but you can be sure that the  additional will be less than what you already have.  Whether you have bought BoN or not, you have already downloaded every plane, every ground unit, every everything  built and released for it.  The purchase just adds a license that allows you to fly the planes.

 

So, finger in the wind ... some more structures, the map, still some planes and ground units to go ... 20-30 GB ... maybe ... ?

The full product is not going to be out for another 6 months or so.  Hopefully you have your new SSD by then.  If not, go ahead and use what you have.  You're probably fine.  The content will continue to come out in a steady stream, so you're going to get it anyway.

I bought a new pc mainly for BON, and better VR performance, no lie.

I like gaming so I can't say that my new PC was just for GB, but GB definitely figured heavily.  I play every other game with monitor, keyboard and mouse.  For GB I have VR, throttle, stick, rudder, keyboard and mouse.   

 

I could have saved a couple of thousand sticking to WASD games, but then I would never have the experience (as close as I am going to get, anyway) of sitting in the cockpit of a WWII plane and flying it.  I'm perfectly happy with the purchase.  Relatively speaking (movies, shooting pool, other stuff that I do) it's really not that expensive on a per hour basis.
