[Will modules purchased, be useable in 2.65 and 2.7?]

I've just set up 2.7 open beta alongside 2.65 stable.

 

I note that there are now a range of special prices available for modules etc.

 

My question is, if I buy some, will they be able to be used in both 2.7 and 2.65? or are separate purchases necessary. i.e. are they per user? or per installed instance of the game?

 

The reason I ask, is that 2.7 is a bit buggy on my machine, but that may be more to do, with me running it inside Win8.1/Bootcamp/OS X/12 yr old Macintosh, with three monitors 23"/30"/24".

 

So I'd like to keep playing 2.65 whilst tweaking my set up for 2.7 and gaining the benefit of the inevitable bug fixes on 2.7

 

If I get Hornet, FC3 and the Syria map, I'd like to have them in both 2.65 and 2.7

 

Wot yer reckon?

No problem, we know it wont please everyone, that is not always possible. 

 

Thank you for your patience. 

 

Keep up the good work, I for one, am grateful.

 

When I used to code for a living, I would say,  "on time, on budget, working out of the box"  "pick any two"...

Have fun till you can. DCS 2.7 is supposed to go live in a week, and it's not Win 8.1 compatible, only Win 10.

 Ahh well. I guess I'll be learning all about upgrading to Win 10, shouldn't be too hard,  I've had Win 10 in the past in bootcamp...

 

Or I'll be finding how well 2.7 works on Win 8.1

Problem solved in this post 

 

[I can't see FPS in game]

Thank you very much.

 

Yes that was it, I turned off Game mode and Game Avionics and it works well.

 

RCtrl pause is working, though I have a keyboard that needs a function modifier key pressed, when pause is accessed so it's actually RCtrl and Func + pause for me.

 

I used to play F/A-18 Hornet back in the days when it came on a floppy disk, 3.5"  

 

So I find myself with time on my hands and I've watched DCS World, from afar over the years.

 

I can't afford a big rig PC, but I did happen to have a powerful Mac, from when I was in prepress, so I put Windows 8.1 inside bootcamp on the Mac and DCS World is looking like it'll run very well. Not at the highest of high settings, but I'm at about mid level,  at the moment and happy with what I'm seeing.

 

[I can't see FPS in game]

I'm new to DCS World, and Windows 8.1, having read other posts in this forum, I'm at a loss.

 

I cannot for the life of me, get the FPS to display whilst flying, in cockpit or external view, or at all.

 

I've tried to use LCtrl + pause and RCtrl + pause, I've remapped the command, in options  to LCtrl + Z.

 

Can't see it.

 

The only things I can see as an overlay, on the screen, are the pinkish, "Game Radar" circle in upper right and there is a display bar at the bottom of the screen showing various things like heading, flaps angle and date and time, but no FPS.

 

DCS 2.5.6 Open Beta, Windows 8.1.   

 

Is there a setting somewhere that needs to be enabled. to show any overlays on the screen?
