How much have you spent on DCS??

Hey guys just tallied up how much I've spent on DCS. Tallying up my rig and other upgrades and addons so I can play DCS how i want to and it comes to bout NZD $4300!!!!:)

So guys whats your damage?????

I'm on around AUD $900 spent on all of LOMAC/DCS so far just in modules alone :)

(this is over many years - since 2005, and its still money well spent, well not according to my family & gf, but I don't care what they think about my hobby)

Oh and, its much higher to include all the hardware :D

Let's just hope your wives don't reads this then!

I have spent - Oh at least £100, possibly a little more! But I do have every module available, and my computer is very good.

Amazing how cheaply you can do this really isn't it!

Yep but I just love this Sim and she is all good as long as the mortgage is paid and food on the table oh and expecting a baby today lol so im all setup b4 baby comes

spent around a 1,000 but not Not as much as that bloody Star Citizen thing !!! and it seems there not even going down the road I original signed up for but if they do it will be years down the line , very poor deal, Anyway give Digital Combat Simulation any day I am endlessly blown away by the quality and dedication of this team, Thanks ED and keep it coming )

I also play lots of different games besides DCS (which is barely a game, but for this instance let's consider it as one :) )

But bought seperately for DCS:

Warthog HOTAS - €300,-

CH Pedals - €70,-

Thrustmaster MFD's - €70,-

TrackIR - €100,-

DCS Modules - I own all of them, including Black Shark 1. So that would be roughly €400,-

Grand total:

€940,- (~US $1200,-)

Which are btw €940,- very well spend and without any regrets :D

in NZD? I'd guess about $500 on DCS titles alone, and I do not even want to think about how much all the hardware I have costs.... but as we say... того стоит :D

Haha :)

I'm not good in giving fatherly advice, but I assume it's time to take a break from the sim when your baby or future baby cries for 'Waaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaggss' :D

Haha :)

My math is too rusty.

Congratulations Fraser, I hope everything goes well, and you have a healthy bouncing baby. I can't help thinking however your priorities are about to change drastically :)

Yep, every penny spent without any doubts at all.

In fact, I guess I have spend around £3,500 altogether. New powerful games machine built for around £2000. Hardware such as Warthog, Pedals, TrackIR, 4 new monitors, stands, leads etc, 2 headsets (one worn out already), MFCDs, joystick extension.

I have of course got all the modules so far available, and every intention of buying all that are released in the future too.

And to cap it all, I am about to start building my cockpit.

But yes, worth every penny.

Congratulations Fraser, I hope everything goes well, and you have a healthy bouncing baby. I can't help thinking however your priorities are about to change drastically :)

yea i know mate goto to look after my wee boy first then DCS the the Mrs :lol:

also gunna be hard with all these awesome new planes coming out

Congratulations Fraser, I hope everything goes well, and you have a healthy bouncing baby. I can't help thinking however your priorities are about to change drastically :)

Be careful when testing how "bouncy" the baby is...:D

If I had to guess, including hardware I have replaced, at least $5000.

EDIT: This doesn't count anything before I built a dedicated flight sim box.

Bought Lockon, FC, FC2 and FC3, Black shark1, A-10C, all on launch prices. I don't even know how much that was.

Current plans:

Midle east map

F-18C

Superhornet

Eurofighter

Maybe some WWII packs later on.

PC upgrade sometime late in 2015 for DCS and Star citizen.

The money value payed in is for sure less then the happy out received. In my case the money in is 2x just because I have started enjoying family flights with my son.

DCS is here for me to stay!

I'm not keeping track. So far

X-52

X-52 Pro

All modules except Mi-8 (mostly full price)

G75 laptop

Planning > dedicated DCS desktop for 2.0

All future fixed wing modules

All announced maps

F-15 HOTAS (if it is ever made or if I decide to make one)

Warthog HOTAS? (if I get tired of waiting for F-15)

Rudder Pedals

I've spent a little less than I will have in a couple of minutes. Time for some more modules.

When i add up the cost of my laptop, my t-flight hotas, and all the modules i've gotten (all bought on sale from steam) i've spent $1238.95. I'm hoping to get a better stick+throttle and track IR in the future. Man this is an expensive hobby I've gotten myself into! I need a job...:(:helpsmilie:

Man this is an expensive hobby I've gotten myself into! I need a job...:(:helpsmilie:

haha its good aye its ruined most other games for me

A-10C = 50$

F-15C = 25$

Su-25 = 15$

Ka-50 = 40$

MiG-21 = 30$ (backer)

P-51 = 10$ (sale)

X52 Pro = 125$

TrackIR 4 + Clip = 150$

Pretty expensive hobby. I hardly even fly the P-51, F-15 or Su-25.
