Rudel_chw Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I'm not quite sure to understand your situation ... if the folder exceeds 150 GB, how can you have not more than 10 GB on it ?

David OC Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Each map recommends 60 GB free space, they take up a lot of room. Not sure what you mean by 10GB.

Flame Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 I don't have more than 10 GB addons, so nothing really increasing the size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's for both the beta and stable then that is about right for a new install of both 70 GB each. i7-7700K OC @ 5Ghz | ASUS IX Hero MB | ASUS GTX 1080 Ti STRIX | 32GB Corsair 3000Mhz | Corsair H100i V2 Radiator | Samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe 500G SSD | Samsung 850 EVO 500G SSD | Corsair HX850i Platinum 850W | Oculus Rift | ASUS PG278Q 27-inch, 2560 x 1440, G-SYNC, 144Hz, 1ms | VKB Gunfighter Pro Chuck's DCS Tutorial Library Download PDF Tutorial guides to help get up to speed with aircraft quickly and also great for taking a good look at the aircraft available for DCS before purchasing.

Why not get rid of one of them? :huh: Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Why not get rid of one of them? :huh: As some servers using stable and others using open beta, so this allows me to play on whatever server i want without waiting everyone switch to one version.

Flame Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 Thanks all, just confirmed with friend, this is the normal size with all maps modules etc.. Thanks gents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art-J Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 140-150 still sounds too much for a non-modded game with all maps and modules. You might want to check if there's any trash left in _downloads and _backup folders. Otherwise, maybe you just have too much custom content (skins etc.) included in each install. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

QuiGon Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 As some servers using stable and others using open beta, so this allows me to play on whatever server i want without waiting everyone switch to one version. I see. I prefer to just have one installation and use the DCS updater to switch between the branches, so I don't need two installations. But if having two installations works better for you then why not :) My single DCS installation has a size 150GB btw.

Sandman1330 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Mine is almost 140Gb, with all maps and maybe half the modules. Not running any mods. Trash and downloads only add up to about 1Gb...
