Kuky Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) 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they think about my hobby) Oh and, its much higher to include all the hardware :D Edited September 20, 2014 by Kuky No longer active in DCS...

NeilWillis Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 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! :music_whistling::music_whistling: :music_whistling: :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: :music_whistling::music_whistling: :music_whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koekemoeroetoe Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 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 Intel i9 10850k | Noctua NH-U12A | Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Elite AC | Patriot Viper Steel 64gb @3600MT/s | ASUS TUF RX 7900 XTX OC | Samsung 970 EVO 1TB NVMe | HP Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sceptre Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 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 RTX 2070 8GB | 32GB DDR4 2666 RAM | AMD Ryzen 5 3600 4.2Ghz | Asrock X570 | CH Fighterstick/Pro Throttle | TM MFDs | TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilWillis Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abburo Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 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!

Rusty_M Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I've spent a little less than I will have in a couple of minutes. Time for some more modules. The world is going mad. Me?

Mtnbiker1998 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) 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!
