When I installed first time , I accidentally setup addons to be in same drive (C:) where my MSFS install was located . Basically I got a 4Tb drive sitting there not being used . I had to uninstall and than reinstall and when asked again where do I want addons installed too …I than chose F: (4Tb drive).
Yea it’s a complicated post . I didn’t want to create 2 posts . The main topic was internet data . We as a family some days we hit 17gb daily usage (cuz we work and the kids are In school), some days we use 50-70gb (weekend if we are all on separate devices streaming or on MSFS). The day I purchased MSFS and was the same 24hr period of having to reinstall after initial install is where I saw my data usage . March 5th and 6th were 183-188Gb usage . I was asking if that’s normal ? When I did the first install it took about 6hrs to install. Than I uninstalled (already mentioned above why), did the 2nd install (which ran into the next morning of 24hr period )…hence why I have 2 days showing 183-188gb usage for those days on my internet app data usage . I’m not complaining , I’m just asking if that’s normal . My data plan PER MONTH is 1.25tb. Yesterday I got alert as I was 75% usage for month and have 7 mor days in my cycle . I had to add additional 500gb for JUST THIS remaining bill cycle as we will go over in 7 days . We are currently at 85% now with 6 more days . So again, I saw what was the culprit for my data usage situation this month , it shows March 5th and 6th are the culprit …the back to back days of the install . Is this normal or what people are seeing …roughly 150gb data usage JUST to install ? That was my main question for the topic. The first paragraph was my 2nd question in same topic about where to install it too. Some were installing everything into one drive , some install all into separate drive outside windows location, some installing MSFS into C: & than installing addons folder onto separate drive .
Thank u for the feedback on the location stating “it doesn’t matter where u install it too “
Sounds like I will put MSFS Initial install into C: windows …and than put my addons onto F: (4Tb drive ) .
