Can DCS World run on a 32 bit OS ?

No, the current version does not have 32-bit support. Perhaps if you could find an old version of DCS?

 

Why would you be running a 32-bit system in 2015 anyway?

The problem is that 32bit OS can't handle more than 3 Giga memory and thats why DCS currently has two .exe files.

One exe for the UI and one for the 3D world. Once you click fly the UI exe shut down and the 3D exe runs and vice versa.

There is no support for 32 bit OS anymore but it will still run i think. Used to anyway. But once DCS 2.0 is out with the unified GUI and 3D exe 32 bit is history.

Just download DCS world and give it a try. It's free!

I had a 2008 technology hi-end PC (Windows XP Pro 32bit) that could run X-Plane 10 by using the " /3GB" Switch in the Boot.ini File. But it choked on DCS World in 2013:

I used to be on 32 bit too and i'll still say give it a go.

DCS is free to D/L so no money lost.

After 1.2.6 32-BIT isnt supported.
