You can update your current install to 1.5 without downloading all of 1.5. see http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030
in particular - DCS_updater.exe update @openbeta
Do you have 1.2 or 2.0?
If so you can update/install 1.5 by using the instructions near the bottom of http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030
In paticular - DCS_updater.exe update @openbeta
This probably won't help but try a repair. See http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030 for more details. If that doesn't help it's probably something you'll have to contact support for.
The eagle servers are getting hammered pretty hard right now. The main site is rather slow, so any "couldn't connect to server" errors are likely to be that. Just try again in a short while.
Oh well, shit happens lol. Thankyou for the very and extremely in-depth lesson. Learned a few things I wasn't sure about and especially how to configure the datalink. Thanks again guys!
Linebacker - I'm not actually at GMT, I'm in Australia. I just figured GMT was a nice neutral time for anyone else having time converting issues. Anyway I should be fine now =3
Sign me up! I can't guarantee 100% I'll make it however.
Could you please post the GMT time? I'm trying to convert through a DST and I'm not 100% sure if your eastern time also includes DST.
