The newest replace for Microsoft Flight Simulator has drastically diminished the bottom sport’s file dimension. Update 1.16.2.0 brings a lot of updates to the critically acclaimed aircraft simulator however the largest change is that file dimension has been optimized, bringing the dimensions from over 170 GB down to only 83 GB. That optimization reduces the sport’s file dimension by greater than 50 p.c, releasing up some valuable cupboard space.This follows a development of different builders discovering a technique to scale back the file dimension of video games, with Fortnite and Warframe as current examples. As video games have elevated in visible constancy and complexity, file sizes have continued to develop, taking on an increasing number of of individuals’s restricted cupboard space, with video games like Call of Duty Warzone being criticized for having huge file sizes.

This difficulty is being investigated however we suspect OpenXR preview runtime (v106) could also be concerned. So should you expertise this drawback, we advocate you revert to the official public runtime (v105). GameSpot might get a fee from retail provides.
