The southern southwest U.S. is the region I fly in the most, so I thought it would be interesting to try and calculate how much HD space I’d need. Here are the results:
MSFS 2020 = 2 PB = 2,000 TB
197 million miles sq = World land
163,696 miles sq = California
110,567 miles sq = Nevada
113,998 miles sq = Arizona
CA + NV + AZ = 388,261 miles sq = Total
World Land / Total = 507.4
2,000 TB / 507.4 = 3.94 TB
This is totally doable, even on a SSD because I believe this is worst case since Nevada & Arizona are sparsely populated and would take up less HD space. What do you all think?
