@Thinder Thanks for this advice. I knew this system would be heavily limited and was wondering how close those limits are to what I have now. I can overclock the RAM, but given this is an ultrabook, I'm worried its going to cause bigger problems from overheating, and for something that won't make much difference anyway, I won't even try that. I'll probably go to 32GB for work and stick to the single player stuff for now. I've played a couple of the Hornet missions without any issues so far, but they are pretty basic. Would the missions in some of the campaigns with other maps cause large drop in performance as well, or is it mainly the multiplayer stuff that will be affected? If they won't work well, I won't purchase them until I have a newer system built.

Hi all. I just started playing DCS recently. I'm currently using my laptop to play the game, and I am under no illusions about this severely limiting my experience, but I'm trying to get the most out of it for now to see how much I like the game (and how much time I have to spend on it). My current specs are: i7-9750H CPU 16GB DDR4 2666mhz RAM GTX1650 GPU (4GB VRAM) 2 x M.2NVMe SSDs (one currently dedicated to DCS) Short of spending a ridiculous amount to get an external GPU, I'm really limited to upgrading the RAM. I use this computer for CAD drawings, and I'll be upgrading the RAM anyway, but would 64GB total help? If I could get a year before building a new machine, it would be great, but if this isn't going to make that much difference I'll just stick to 32GB and wait. Currently I'm just doing single player stuff, and I don't mind sticking to that if I have too. There hasn't been many issues so far, but I'm guessing the training missions are less draining on the system than larger stuff. I don't mind turning down the graphics either. As I'm pretty much limited to RAM upgrades, is this going to make that much of difference?
