What flight gear features and things use up the most space.

Postby I love flying » Thu May 19, 2022 1:39 am

Hey there flightgear peeps, sorry for being dormant this long. I uninstalled flightgear for a few months now, I've been wanting to go back to the simulator. But I want to save as much storage space. If you ask, I have 28.8 GB, and I want to save up as much storage as possible, how can I do that? :|

1. Pick one / a few aircraft and stick with it.
2. Pick one scenery area and stick with it. / use TerraMaster to remove scenery tiles you don't need anymore. Actually, scenery is the thing that takes most of the disk space.

How do you run terrasync, I have decided what sceneries to delete.

simply turn on "Automatic Scenery Downloads"... it should also be noted that terrasync is not the same thing as TerraMaster... TerraMaster is manual whereas terrasync is automatic... the main difference being that you have more control over the scenery you download with TerraMaster...
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."

Well, to selectively delete parts of the scenery you either have to install TerraMaster or find out the lat,lon of the area you want to delete and then remove the corresponding folders in your TerraSync folder.
