DCS 2.5 folder size?

Recommended Posts

My DCS 2.5 openbeta folder is 111GB. Is that right?? Thing thing is huge! 12 years of FSX and all the orbx addons etc and my FSX folder isn't even this big. I wanted to make sure this was right because it is hampering my ability to juggle multiple versions of DCS during this update period because my SSD is almost full.

If you have everything installed

 

3 maps all modules, campaigns and so on

 

100gb area is about right

 

do you have anything in your _downloads folder in DCS root?

 

if so you can delete that.

I have 107 GB en the DCS program, plus 2.5 GB on Saved Games, plus 3 GB on mission files, plus 24 GB on Liveries ... so yeah, its a big space hugger ... at least now I can get by with just a single DCS instance rather than two.

 

 

Anyway, I love this game, so much so that nowadays is about the only game that I play regularly (yeah, I know, some people dont clasify it as a "game" .. its a simulation, right? ) :)

99.3GB for me. Frankly, I don't really care, just love DCS too much to worry.

Same as most, just over 100GB. Considering the latest Doom was 80GB and GTA V not far behind that, I think it's pretty good going for 3 detailed maps and multiple detailed aircraft.

The maps are huge.

 

Caucasus: 14.9 GB

Nevada: 33.8 GB

Normandy: 10.5 GB

Persian Gulf: 31.2 GB

 

So you have 75.6 GB less with Caucasus only rainbowdashwink.png
