DOCUMENT:Q135514 07-MAY-2002 [homegame] TITLE :FltSim 5.1: Setup Option to Save Disk Space and Time PRODUCT :Microsoft Home Games PROD/VER:MS-DOS:5.1 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Flight Simulator for MS-DOS, version 5.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= During the installation of Microsoft Flight Simulator version 5.1, you can use one of two setup options: - Save Disk Space -or- - Save Loading Time The Save Disk Space option prevents 3,578,030 bytes of data from being stored on the hard disk. These files are Texture and Scenery files. The Save Disk Space option stores the files on your hard disk in compressed mode. Compressed mode saves disk space, but takes longer to load or change scenery because the files have to be decompressed before they can be used. The Save Loading Time option decompresses and copies more the files to the hard drive. Decompressed files use more disk space, but take less time to load or change scenery. MORE INFORMATION ================ The following table lists files compressed or decompressed by these options. The listing shows file sizes with the Save Space selected compared to file sizes with the Save Time option selected.
