DLC - Detail & Size

  • Two quick questions. I have not installed the USA DLC yet.

    The Western USA is included in the base install, as far as I can tell. It looks great.

    1. Does the DLC package provide a significant improvement?
    2. How large is the USA DLC package?

    Default USA looks great. HiRes USA DLC is 61 GB added to the 64 GB of Aerofly. I'd say you can see roads and more details, since I installed it I encounter black areas widely around Seattle (even in low graphics).

    If I had sacrifices to do I would hesitate between HiRes USA (because without it is very good) or Europe (because de definition is what it is).

    All the SIM without Aircrafts Add-On is 234 GB.

  • @FrankLFRS thank you for the information. I am about to wipe my XP11 folder so, I will now finally have enough room for all of AF4.

    Hopefully, the Steam servers will cooperate.

    I hate Steam about many points. But I have to confess that downloading is well managed. Updates are differentials. The first downloads took hours and hours because of my 8 Mbps Internet, but it did not block the rest of my digital life.
