FistofZen Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 many threads were created. Update DCS to latest Open Beta version and then install PG. 8GB update for DCS and 13gb for PG. Am I special?
dburne Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Sounds like it is giving some update prompts when it really shouldn't, as first it needs the DCS update prior to installing the PG map.

QuiGon Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Sounds like it is giving some update prompts when it really shouldn't, as first it needs the DCS update prior to installing the PG map. Yeah, IIRC the updater only checks for updates once per day or so and if people have spammed DCS to update multiple times today already, then it won't check for updates for a while, but it will offer you to download the new map regardless, although you haven't installed the the update first, which is required for the map...

Yep if that is the case and they keep getting those PG Map prompts in Module Manager when not even updated DCS World with this morning's update, going to be a lot of cries for help on the forums during the day today.

Revelation Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 thx for that then i have to uninstall the version i have got now and install the beta version correct, guess this is going to be the same with the hornet as well? Search the forums for the command switch. This will allow you to change your current install to beta with little effort. You can also use Skatezilla's GUI updater to do the same.

QuiGon Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 thx for that then i have to uninstall the version i have got now and install the beta version correct No. You can either install the beta in parallel in adition to your release installation, or you convert your release installation to the open beta by running the DCS updater with the following command: DCS_updater.exe update @openbeta This guide has more info on how to do that: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030 guess this is going to be the same with the hornet as well? Yes, the Hornet will probably be available for the Open Beta first as well.
