Hi,
I just have to ask this question. How big is your install? I have a 500GB M.2 on my machine. I just had to delete DCS stable because DCS OB was getting so big. I could no longer update DCS OB. My Install is huge. Im not home right now buy I pretty sure it is over 200GB. Is this normal? When did games get so Huge? Maybe I have been living under a rock. I am contemplating buying a 1TB M.2… Just for DCS?
Maybe I just need to do a reinstall. My install is probably 2 years old. I need your feedback before I go doing something silly.
“DCS is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to DCS.”
Mine is 157 and I don’t have Normandy, the Channel, any WWII beyond the P-51, and only half the others I think.
The biggest folder is the mods folder, it has the terrains and your aircraft in it. Mine is 100GB.
It’s split about 16GB aircraft and 83 for my 3 terrains (Black Sea, NTTR, PG).
The 2nd largest is the CoreMods folder which contains all the objects that are in DCS that you don’t own.
I don’t know why I have 1.5GB for the C-101, which I’ve never even done a trial with let alone owned, or 2.5GB for the Christen Eagle II (ditto). China asset pack is over 4.5GB and I don’t own the JF-17, but I did try it that month.
So, bottom line is every terrain you own makes a significant chunk of the install, while each plane isn’t much but they do add up.
I want all of the things. I want my DCS to grow, growGROW until it fills terabytes of space with chopperymappyjetty goodness. I want old jets, new jets, big jets, small jets russian jets, murrican jets, chinese jets all of the jets. I want the choppers and the poppers and the propjobs wont be snobjobs to me. Get me the maps. Of the places. All of the spaces that give rise to races. MOARRRR!!!
