[skydanny]

Hello guys,

If I understand the question correctly the first thing you need to do is download BS2 from the DCS website. Then after you've installed it and launch the game it will ask for the key if I remember correctly.

???

 

1. DCS World is free >>>>> it doesnt need any activation

2. DCS BS 2.0 is a module

 

3. If i remember correctly Steam keys will not work with Normal DCS World versions ... BUT I AM NOT SURE ON THIS!!!!

The key for black shark 2 from your Steam version should work for the version you can download on digitalcombatsimulator.com. But I do not quite understand where things go wrong for you? Does it ask for your key and then reject it?

 

DCS World download:

With the module manager you should be able to install the Black Shark Module. Log in with your credentials from http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com.

Hello!

I had the license the most right module. However, DCS BS2 I still have to install separate, I want to incorporate BS2 into the DCS. I have bought the BS2 license before DCS World launch.

It looks like you already have the KA-50 module installed in DCS World version 1.2.6.17746.255 (screenshot and KA-50 module file shown in second picture).

 

It does not matter at what time you bought the key for Black Shark 2 it should work for DCS World.

Ok, I would recommend to update DCS to latest version and install the KA-50 module using the Module manager. So in steps it would be like:

1. Exit DCS World
   
2. Run DCS Update from the start menu
   
3. When updated to 1.2.7.23803 start DCS World
   
4. In the menu in the right side of the screen choose "Module Manager"
   
5. Login with your credentials from http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com
   
6. When logged in the Module Manager should see your key for Black Shark 2
   
7. Choose install
   

 

NB. If you do not have an account at digitalcombatsimulator.com go and create one.

 

If you alread have an account you can investigate your Black Shark 2 license:

 

Go to the "Personal Section" and then "Licensing". There you should be able to input your key for Black Shark 2 from Steam. You need to bind it to your account to make it work.

Next time there is a great sale on steam you can now get P-51 and A10C which are terrific also.

Btw. just noticed there is a FAQ covering Steam here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=113587

 

Hello everybody, since the same questions are asked a billions time despite being clarified everywhere, let's link them all together.

 

 

Can I activate my DCS World Module purchased on steam on DCS World Standalone(Non-Steam)?

 

Yes, you will simply need to retrieve your serial key which can be found within your steam library and right-clicking on DCS World -> "View CD Key" then use this serial key to authenticate your module on DCS World.

 

Another way to view your cd-key is by simply by clicking the "CD-Key" link on the right side menu displayed after clicking DCS World within your library as

SkateZilla mentioned

 

 

Can I use my modules purchased from ED Store on Steam?

 

Yes except for the Black Shark 1 Upgrade and the Flaming Cliff 3 package (Prior to 1.2.7, 1.2.7 and Above will allow FC3 to Link with Steam).

 

To do so :

1 - Open Steam, select the "Games" menu located at the top and select "Activate a Product on Steam".

2 - Enter your serial key obtained from ED

 

To retrieve your serial key from ED :

1 - Access your ED account page which can be viewed by signing in over

http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com.

2 - Click on the "Payements" link under your account name

3 - Click "Details" of the purchase made to view the serial key you have previously received for this purchase

 

Please note that since the keys are purchased from a different source than steam, they will have to be added to the steam database before you are able to recover the game on steam.

 

See the following note :

 

 

 

 

 

My Steam DCS World does not show any key!

 

It can sometimes happen that the steam store run out of keys for the games sold on their platforms. Wait until the developers give them a fresh batch of keys and you will be able to get your key afterward.

 

 

 

I just purchased a module off steam and it is now in rebate!, what can I do!?

 

This is basically your fault for not waiting on future deals but you can always contact steam to see if they can do somethings about it (which can sometimes happen if it was purchased a few minutes earlier)

 

You can contact them by accessing the following page :

https://support.steampowered.com/

 

 

 

I have added my key to Steam but the module does not appear in the game

 

After entering the key of your newly purchased product, Steam will update DCS World. Make sure the game is not active and let the update finish before re-entering the game.

 

 

 

I purchased a newly released module and I cannot register it over steam

 

If the module has been released within a month, you will have to wait until the module is published on the steam platform and then wait for the keys purchased from the ED store to be added to the Steam database. If you really want to try to module right away, your only option is to get it from the DCS World Standalone which can be found on the main website :

http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/dcs_world/

 

 

 

Can I have both the standalone and Steam versions of DCS installed? Do they share settings? Are there any negative side-effects?

 

You can have both installations on your PC at the same time. There won't be any negative effects due to both installations keeping all their updates / configurations within their own folders.

 

 

 

How do I add command line arguments to a steam shortcut?

 

- Right click on DCS World within your Steam Library

- Select Properties

- Click on "Set Launch Options"

- Type your command line options.

 

Every time the game is launched, the arguments will be executed.

 

 

Why doesn't the game track my time played?

Why the Steam overlay is not working?

 

This is currently an issue with the launcher which should soon be fixed. Once the issue is resolved, the time will be tracked as long as you are not playing in "Steam Offline Mode".

 

 

Are patches/updates for the Steam version of DCS released at the same time as the standalone? Is this a source of potential issues if both are installed and used between updates?

 

DCS World Updates are pushed through ED servers for the standalone and Steam Servers for the Steam platform thus resulting in a delay when using Steam (since Steam has to first receive and handle the new update). The good new is that the updates will be much quicker to download from your Steam platform. The negative side is that you might have to wait before being able to play with your friends using the standalone version on the latest revision.

 

 

What are the differences between the Standalone DCS World and the Steam version?

 

Steam Version :

- Auto-Update without launching the game (as long as steam is open)

- Faster Update Speed

- Steam In-Game Overlay

- Steam Friend List Notifications

- Quick Repair

 

Standalone DCS World :

- Get all the modules as soon as they are released

- Does not require any extra program to be launched

- Has every single modules available

 

If you are fine with waiting for most product to be available on steam and like most of the Steam feature, the Steam version might be for you.

If you own unsupported products such as Upgrades / FC3 or do not care about the Steam functionalities, Standalone DCS World might be for you.

 

 

My Steam installation crash / does not work properly anymore, is there any way to fix it?

 

You repair your installation by going in the properties of DCS World which can be done by right clicking on DCS World within your library and selecting Properties. Then selecting the Local Files tab, which allow you to repair or uninstall the software.
