Nice music

Personally I find using an anti violence protest song inspired by the killing of 2 young children in a terrorist attack to publicise a game that uses killing and violence as key dynamic something of an odd choice at best. Crass at worse.
I said as much in the ED forums before the the thread was locked using a stretch of the rules any dictatorship would be proud of .

Lots of mixed reviews on this sim.
Is it worth getting into?
Before all, is very hardware demanding, ideally with 32 GB of RAM.
I feel very "dry".
I have fun, or I should say had fun with what I bought, I just don't fly anymore in general, too busy with other things.
Besides what lokos said above, it is rather expensive unless you get in during a crazy sale, but it still is expensive regardless. I have three modules and a couple maps and have a few hundred into it just like that.
Very nice eye candy, gratifying for offline solo stuff while really learning a plane.
Besides that though...
My specs are similar to yours, I have a 980ti and 24 gb ram, similar CPU, I can run things nicely at high-ish settings but again, that is if I'm flying around Las Vegas by myself.

I didn't believe it, but I looked it up. Sure enough, DCS supposedly can use 18+ gigs of RAM in multiplayer. That is ridiculous, as more extensive (and newer) AAA titles that came out in 2019 (Control, RDR2, etc.) can use up to 12gb on higher settings. You shouldn't need 32gb of RAM for any game at this point.

I highly recommend that you try it, it costs nothing. Download the program and try the included TF-51. It flys like the P-51, just doesn't have a rear fuselage tank or any armament. If you want, PM me and I'll walk you through set up and some flying in the 51.
As for the mixed reviews, that which works, works brilliantly, that which is still work in progress can be annoying. You are the best to judge it, so give it a try.

I gave it a try in autumn 2018. It was autumn sale with 50% discount. I bought P-51, Normandy map + ww2 assets and "Operation charnwood campaign".
All the money and time that I spent on it was worth it. No other game gave me such expirience, that I got than! It was superb!
Single player campaigns is awesome! WW2 aircrafts are easy to learn. Few hours and you can operate it in any way.
Waiting for new damage model this month, wich I hope boost multiplayer with WW2 environment.
Now I got A10C and Ka50 - all I need now is time to learn this modules. This modern birds much more complicated. Free time is real problem

i got it just for the huey which cost 50 bucks..u can get it at 25 if u wait for a sale. fully clickable cockpit which is cool, great sound also. huey graphics is amazing but i find the maps ( trees for example ) to be something from il2 1946. but there are newer maps for sale and they have announced a Marianas map ( prob for the corsairs and zero..in the future ). there were some nice vietnam mods which work well for the huey ( the trees got replaced with palm trees ) but i think they dont anymore with latest updates.
if u have time to fly..get it.

DCS looks incredible. Definitely worth upgrading your computer if you are into those aircraft. DCS WWII looks promising, and that is what I'd enjoy the most.
I've moved to the Great Battle series for now. The ground pounding is pretty amazing, not to mention the rocket strikes. Being a newb again is interesting, but a lot of skills from CoD are carried over to other sims.
Thanks for the tips and info, Guys.
When the environment looks this good and they are updating the Normandy and WWII assets.....and you can play in VR...yes, very much worth it:
