This may be old news, but I just got the game and haven't been
following the posts till now. 

Falcon 3.0 take about 11 megs to install and 9 megs once installed.
I managed to slim Falcon down to 6 megs by deleting the music
files and the annoying animation that shows that comes on
every time you are going to fly. The music files arn't needed
unless you have a sound card installed. Basically delete 
everything in the directory MEDIA and MUSIC. Also, make sure
that you have music and animation turned off on the config
screen or the program will crash with a file not found message.

I have not had any problems since doing this.
