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.
Directory is: C:\Fltsim51\Texture
