How much have you spent on DCS??

[FraserNZL]

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?????

[Kuky]

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

[Combat Wombat]

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 )

[Koekemoeroetoe]

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

[Sceptre]

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

[FraserNZL]

Haha :)

[BIGNEWY]

You can not put a price on joy and happiness, which this sim has brought me over the years.

 

 

That's what I keep telling the wife, and so far she is falling for it, no need to worry her with figures :)

[jctrnacty]

A lot but worth it

[Cyb0rg]

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 :)

[NeilWillis]

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.

[FraserNZL]

[Jona33]

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

[cichlidfan]

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.

[Pilotasso]

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.

[Abburo]

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!

[Exorcet]

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

[Rusty_M]

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

[Mtnbiker1998]

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:
