Another factor could be exactly when each of the downloads is uncompressed to it’s storage location, as well as what “processing” needs to take place.įor example, for the core install, the installer might download the entire app to a temporary location, and then decompress it to it’s final location, or, alternatively, decompress & write to file while downloading. If MSFS base & world = ~ 130 GB, and I allow another 70GB for future mandatory updates & WU growth, and if I give 20GB to the rolling cache, that allows ~ 680 GB for the manual cache & addons, which I think should be enough.īeechc23 has a good point. I’m hoping that (excluding the boot & system restore partitions, which will be auto-generated), giving 150 GB for Win11 itself on C: will leave around 800 GB for MSFS.

I plan to install MSFS on a separate D: partition on a new 1 TB SSD - dedicated to MSFS - that I plan to purchase. Thanks GimbalAxis - that reply is most useful. Regardless of size, the World Updates are significant - but my complaint is that while the main installer will download at about 300 Mbps, the WU files go from about 5 Mbps up to about 40 on average - a few jumped up to 100-200 Mbps in the middle of the night, so it might be time dependent. Separately it lists “Saved Data” of 80.5 GB, and I think that is the World Updates plus Rolling Cache (which seemed to be set ON at 8 GB upon install.

In the middle of downloading WU 10, and the total (including the above) seems to show 175.9 GB on disk in the Manage Game section of Xbox… I assume the files are compressed for downloading, then decompress on your system and end up larger.

If you select one, say “World Update XI Canada” it will say 8.88 GB on disk, but when you select it, lower on the screen in the progress it may have a different size. That’s a hard question to answer, because the sizes in the Xbox > MSFS > Marketplace > Content Manager don’t add up.
