FS mega DVD

Hi folks!

It was always annoying to me to store FS2004 on 4 CDs! What a waste of space! It would fit into 3 discs, or 1 DVD. The question is if anybody tried to copy the content of the 4 discs into 1 folder, and burnt it onto a single DVD?

It would be practical in 2 ways:
1: to store the sim in only 1 disc
2: I could insert into the MS cab files all of my add-on files that replaces original MS files. So next time I install the game, I should not have to install the replacement add-ons one by one...you know I mean replacement textures for terrain, clouds, sky, etc.

What do you think?

Did Microsoft implement slipstream technology into Flight Simulator like it does with it's OS products? If it does then it could be done easily........if not then i dunno

I think if you lived in the UK it would be a illegal ;)

But it sounds a great idea, would make a lot more sense. I'm sure they'll have to do it for the next one anyway. They are putting serveral games to DVD now

EHM-1315 Adam:
Actually, I'm not sure it's illegal. You are allowed to make one backup, so long as you own a legal copy in the first place.

Therefore, backing it up onto DVD is not illegal, however editing the files to install the scenery would be illegal I think.

I'm not 100% certain though.

In germany Its even illegal to make an backup of a disk, as long as it got an technical copy - protection, but I don´t know, how it is in other countries
