Defintely giving this a go. Thank you for putting in all the work.

Wasn't confused, just saying that one of the modules recently didn't have the discount included when the module came up for sale on Steam. Took a day or two I think and then the discount was enacted. No complaints, just mentioning it.

Yeah, I got all the DCS discounts on my Steam purchases, I just had to wait until release day sometimes. Can't remember which module, but the discount wasn't listed, I mentioned it here and it kicked in pretty quick afterwards. No complaints about Steam from me.

I had the same thought. Hope it doesn't become a thing.

I'm not 100% on this one. Although I love the Russian stuff, I'm not a big A2A guy, and I already have the FC3 version. Not sure if I'll get it. But as I am on Steam, I have to wait anyway so there is time to ponder.

I bought the L-39 on sale and I'm very happy with it.

The Cold War sale ended around noon today on Steam. Just before leaving for work I bought the L-39. Loaded it up when I got home and what a great little plane. Love me some DCS sales!

Thank you.

Howdy, I am thinking of getting the Mig-21, maybe today while it's still on sale, and I spend a lot of time on the Kola map. So it's confirmed that navigations works on the Kola map?

It's saying "Hello" to me. Prepping me for all its imminent flying goodness.

I like seeing C-130s. Gives me hope.

And where were you when I needed you? The OS is on a 1TB SSD C drive, and DCS was all alone on a 1TB NVME E: drive. Now DCS is all alone on a 2TB NVME. And there's no question I could have done this more efficiently, but my concern was being able to do it at all without screwing the pooch beyond all repair. As it turns out the only hiccup was the drive letter on the new install is F: and the old was E:, and Steam doesn't seem to care. And now I have all my lovely maps installed. 'Cause ya gotta have all your lovely maps installed.

Amen!

64 RAM at least and lotsa storage. Many DCS install are over 1TB now.

I had to use an external case for the NVME because my ancient MB only has one M.2 slot. I think the cloning was about 350GB and about three-hours, as opposed the original 800GB that was on the drive. Fortunately Steam has good D/L speeds so it's not to bad to re-download a whack'o maps. Getting Kola, SA, Iraq and Afghan back is a chunk! And the other maps on top of that. Might set the record for a one-day bandwidth usage on my account. But they did say it was unlimited, so... And I'll be downloading for several more hours. The only issue I had was that the cloning left the new drive listed as F: while the original cloned drive was E:. But Steam didn't seem to have a problem with that and the sim fired up just fine. I'm guessing the final install will run about 1.3TB. We'll see.

Success! Ended up cloning the drive with Macrium and all is well. 2TB of NVME goodness. But I dumped almost all the maps out before I did - still took a few hours - so I have a wee bit of downloading to do. At least that is stress free. Thanks to all for holding my hand as I crossed the technological street.

I have the free trial of Macrium and will use that today. @Nightdare Was thinking of that but I'm sure I'll screw the pooch somewhere. I wish I was better at this kind of stuff.

That was/is a concern. I saw a video about that but wasn't sure. Thank you for putting in a good word about it. I might just do that. Just FYI: I started the move my DCS install last night. Hit "move" and went to bed while close to 1TB of DCS goodness went from here to there. Woke up, PC was off, started it up, and the move was stopped at half. Figured I was McScrewed. But my internal Steam install still works. Gotta hand it to Steam for covering for people like me.

Hello, I want to clone my 1TB ADATA DCS-only Steam install NVME drive info to a new Samsung 2TB NVME that I have hooked up in an external case. The Samsung Migration Tool says my ADATA 1TB drive is not supported. And thus my headache. I was curious what would happen if I just created a new Steam folder in the new 2TB NVME and used the Steam function to migrate DCS over to that NVME, and then just took out the old 1TB NVME and put in the new 2TB one. Would that work? This is past my mental snack bracket and any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Agreed. The mods are very nicely done and are provided free of charge to everyone. Love to see those who complain try to make even one as nicely as the 100+ Currenthill has made.

Buy! Life is short. Fly while you can.

Sweet!

All the maps. Always all the maps. It's a question of cash, ma man. I'm going to order a 2TB Samsung NVME tonight, for under $200. A 4TB is over $400. The difference in price buys me stuff I need for work. Real life. What can ya do, eh?

Amazon might be getting my money tonight for some new storage. I don't like having maps uninstalled but my 1TB DCS-only NVME can't handle all this map goodness.

For the price, what we got, and what we will get, I think it's good. If, on the other hand, we were asked to pay maybe $150 for the map and it weighs about 300 or 400GB, then I would expect more. And just for the record, if a dev wants to make a $150 map that comes in at 400GB, I'm all in.
