RE: exact size

1.80GB including:
64,369 files
1,356 foldersIncluding, of course, the rapidly swelling NVTA object folder.I have a 40g and an 18g drive... my MSTS folder is about 4.7gb, even though the last time I started it was when the Caltrain model came out.I'll probably uninstall it today, as I never use it and it's only taking up space and causing my virus checker to take hours on end to finish!

RE: exact size

1.12gig after a clear out of the object folders to kill routes I rarely use. MSTS is 5gb though, but I often use it. At risk of kicking up another MSTS vs. BVE debate, MSTS comes over BVE only when you're in a steam loco, doing long cross country routes or if you wish to shunt, IMO.--
