graywolf71 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Hi, new user here. I will be getting the game and a few modules soon, and was wondering if there is a list of exactly how big the game and modules are. The store just says either 60 or 120GB on everything, and I need to figure out how big of a SSD I should get (I won't be getting all modules, just a few).

Frederf Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 As installed, OB, to the nearest 0.1GB. A-10CII 1.2 F-5 0.4 F-16 1.0 F-18 0.8 Ka-50 1.0 L-39 0.6 M2000 2.6 MiG-21 0.9 UH-1 0.6 Persian Gulf 32.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graywolf71 Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Wow I figured they would be larger than that. Guess a 1TB M.2 SATA SDD will be more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art-J Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 @Frederf - these are sizes when checking only mods folder. Keep in mind though, that many modules store lots of data in coremods folder as well. MiG-21 for example has over 3 GB of extra content over there (mostly liveries). @graywolf71 - The barebones, basic DCSW with only free content in it is probably about 80 GB nowadays, but installer needs extra space for files extraction, hence the quoted 120 I suppose. Maps are the main resource hogs, being between 15 and 35+ GB each. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

Bailey Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Steam barebones is about 78.074GB for me. Yes, 1TB is plenty for DCS and maybe a few other games. If you own all official modules and maps, the space takes up about 280-310GB if I remember correctly.

Yes, but as the name implies coremods content comes with DCS World, not the module itself, ie. MiG-21bis.
