To be fair, most of that is taken up by fancy sceneries and mesh. Compare
that with a similarily endowed FS9 and 60GB is not so bad.
My FS9 comes in at 48Gb with Mesh added and N American fancy scenery -
could be a lot more with little effort. Also bear in mind both these items
are simulations where the entire globe is represented, not restricted to a
small area of the world. Given the size of HD's these days, these large
programs are no big deal. My first HD was 40 Mb !! and would not handle
some of the d/l's we have nowadays.
