For people who just want to check out FlightGear, their mentallity is to download the executable, run it for five minutes, and delete it if they are not sastisfy. If the download is too big, or the time for download takes too long, this group of people are going to get discourage, and FlightGear can potentially lose these new players as consequence.
I'm not so sure the download size plays such a big factor in this decision. Just check out sites that carry games news and demos. Sometimes the download is huge, around 500Mb, and it won't bother most gamers.
100MB is okay for me because I have broardband. But even so, I still think the download is too big, because it still takes time and 90% of the aircrafts that it contains are aircrafts that I don't fly.
That's a point.
