Hi all Today I checked the current fgdata/Aircraft folder for sizes. It’s about 4,3 GB here. Nice.
Now some statistics (and this is no critcs on aircrafts of course, I like all the development and improvements a lot!): We have 372 aircrafts in the directory. 22 of this aircrafts have more than 30 MB and this 22 aircraft gives 1,1 GB of the aircraft folder. Number One is "p51d" with 104.5 MB (!). 50 MB in the models folder comes from GIMP .xcf-files and from Blender files (.blend). Do we distribute this files uncompressed? i. e. compressing .xcf to .gz will give a 1,2 file instead of a 4,3 MB. Number Two is 767-300 with 82,2 MB. I. e. this one comes with widely used .wav-sounds in the cabin ;-) This sounds, or better short loops, take 17,3 MB here. One livery (VRN.png) takes 6.3 MB. Number three is MiG-15, a really nice one, with a lot of instruments, and it seems like every byte is used here. I am looking deeper into the files and I see a radio-tune.wav which has 3.5 MB for 10 seconds of sound and 10 seconds of silence ;-) Some models like IAR80 have liveries with 13 MB .png-files. Totally we distribute 18 blender files with the directory. This is only 16,4 MB. Not much. But we distribute also 310 MB of original GIMP files. Some of this files are .gz already, when I .gz the rest I get another 100 MB, or in other words I get two MiG-15 or another p51d.
