Fireball241 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 I want to buy the products DCS. DCS A10C for now. Trying to decide DVD or Download. I would like to play the game on my main destop computer. However I would also like to have it on my laptop to practice with the avionics while away from home. Can I have DCS A10C on two computers at the same time when buying one DVD of A10c? What about if I just download and install it on both computers at the same time? Do I have to pay twice? How does activation work for the DVD version and the Download versions? What are the advantages of DVD over Download? I understand there is some difference with the DVD version vs. Download. That the DVD is stand alone and can be a module while the download is only a module and relies on DCS World? I was thinking to buy the DVD stand alone. Install it stand alone on my laptop to practice aircraft systems and some missions. Then activate it on my Desktop at home with DCS World? Of course paying for one install and having DCS World and A10c on both computers would be even better, lol. The price is about $28 for Download and $40 for DVD off Amazon and the DCS website. Amazon or Ebay might have an older version of DCS A10c on DVD too as another option. Thanks.
cichlidfan Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 The DVD version is extremely outdated, however, it does work just fine. There is only one DVD version that was released in the English speaking market (v1.1.0.7). Installing on two computers is possible, they just cannot both play online at the same time. Activation is the same regardless which version you buy.

Fireball241 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) I downloaded game A10C last night. So i can install it and try it out standalone? Downloaded DCS World too. Said I needed to install DCS World first. But after i install both I can play A10C then. I did this. So to run it on a computer other than my multiplayer one I just deactivate it??? What comes with the A10C download; single player missions; tutorials? Sounds like I can install the game on any computer with the A10c download version then and just multi player on my desktop then with one purchase. Not bad. What about doing LAN with my kid on the same router and only one purchase of the A10c download. I will prob just get 2 A10Cs cause they are 70% off today. Just curious.
