I have a 2 year old i7 4 GHz , 32GB 1333 and a 1080GTX with 8 GB , 2x500GB SSD RAID with a M2 250GB for TEMP files (Photoshop swap disk) and could not make DCS run at all.

for my skin making work, even that is not enough biggrin Photoshop really needs all that , I am surprised that DCS now needs that much as well, if not more.

the truth is that for the average PC flight sim enthusiast, DCS is becoming too expensive to run.
