The one I know about is DCS-A10C. When you install it, it will ask if you want to install the 86x file also. So default is 64bit and if you don't have a 64bit platform you can opt for the 32bit version alongside it. Losing offcourse the ability to use all your memory. (if you have heaps)

Because of this particular title naturalpoint needed to conjur up a 64bit version of the trackir software. Being the first (I think) 64bit simulation or game even naturally gave some problems. But the hurdles have already been taken.

Its a whole different concept though. The DCS engine and stuff will be improved with each new addition to the DCS World. In DCS blackshark it was still 32 bit. Now in A-10C its 64 bit with some of the workload of the soundsystem on a different cpu-core and in the future multiple cores will be better supported etc etc. Whereas IL2 cliffs of dover relies on a completed engine I think. I may be wrong. Hopefully they left enough room to further advance the system/engine with new expansions without having to reinvent the wheel.
