Even a 80Gb HDD should be able to cope with more than one install. I currently have five copies of Il-2 on my hard drive: 4.09m vanilla in case I need to make another copy, HSFX 4.11 for everyday use, HSFX 4.11 for mapbuilding, HSFX 4.11 for map testing, an old 4.11 that got corrupted by adding mods and another HSFX for beta testing.
My single SATA drive runs everything from the two OS's (windows XP/ Ubuntu dualboot setup) to over a hundred software packages, ~two hundred legacy DOS applications and games, two dozen game disc Isos, emulation software and images for 6 different consoles (Ps1 & 2, N64, SNES, Gamecube, and Dreamcast)...
...suffice it to say I'm cramped for space. And thanks to this **** crummy economy, I have NO MONEY for even a backup drive.
Quote:HSFX more or less replaced UI 1.2; i.e. there are no plans for any more UIs (unless things have changed recently). It ultimately comes down to whether you like a trouble-free and fast-loading game (mind you, I fly with an HSFX with no extra mods other than maps) or a bloated and convoluted do-it-yourself compilation using UI.

Y'know what, if you're going to be a better-than-you @$$munch, do me a favor and go juggle some 100-lb bombs. :evil:
The only thing 'convoluted' about UI has been the download size, which HSFX can hardly boast to be better at. The 'convoluted' part has come when installing things NOT IN UI. For the love of pan-fried peanut butter, why isn't there some requirement for a standardized installer for mods?
...whatever. My install is completely borked now. Will have to reinstall the whole thing from scratch so maybe I'll give your gold-plated, divinely-inspired HSFX a try this time around.
Catch you later.
