    I use MSFS Addons Linker. So, my Community folder size varies. I have a few files that I run all the time. But, I turn off and on files depending on where I am flying. It is currently 4 mb. So, I guess that makes me a little short.

    Like Tom, I'm a bit picky. 98.5 gigs.
    Expect banging, belching and an occasional manly fart as you roar down the runway at full power. (I have found that the engine can make similar noises)

    491 GB, do I get a plaque or something?

    My aviation interests are too varied to have a slimmer installation, I guess!

    As I'd hoped and suspected there's the feckless and the careful amongst us folk !!

    My community folder is 365GB, main MSFS folder is 440GB.

    Incidentally, the "compress contents to save disk space" option in Windows is super helpful, since it cuts those folder sizes on the disk down by about 40%, and doesn't seem to have any impacts on loading time or performance.

    My community folder is 0GB

    That is right zero

    You will have to forgive me but I am just getting started.

    1.52Tb for my FS_Addons folder
    167G for my OrbX folder

    I use the Addons Manager, so I only have a subset installed depending on where I'm flying.

    I'm picky too, but in any region where I fly, I have a ton of custom scenery. Addons presets to, say, install all the US West Coast states, or Western European countries with one click.

    My actual Community folder has nothing but Addon Manager links.

    Mine is 271 Gb
    You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.
    For MFS paints go to flightsim.to

    Generally, 0 Mb !

    I use MSFS Addons Linker.
    So, my Community folder size varies...
    Always doubting is close to the truth...

    Actually about 85 Gb, but I always delete what I don't use.

    Almost exactly the same here. With those figures the added complexity of an add-on linker is unnecessary to me.

    311, not counting the OrbX library on a different drive.

    I don't have a big one. Mine ist 16.7GB and includes the following:

    antsairplanes-tiger-moth
    atsimulations-aircraft-piaggio
    bigradials-aircraft-p40b-tomahawk
    bigradials-the-norseman
    fr-aircraft-l4-grasshopper
    milviz-aircraft-310

    The marketplace purchases are naturally inside the official folder
    carenado-aircraft-wymf5
    flyingiron-spitfire
    fr-aircraft-p40n
    lhc-aircraft-bucker-bu131-jungmann
    wing42-boeing-247d

    plus a few of the MS/Asobo payware aircraft.
    No addon scenery, enhancements or tools whatsoever.

    With a look at your Avatar, your one is not that big, innit?
    Best regards, Manfred.

    Community 534mb (All shortcuts)

    Add-ons Linker 192gb.

    Convinced the above is the reason I have not had a single problem with updates or new additions to the game.
