Hi

 

That's exactly what the OB Installer will do. It'll grab most of the files from your regular DCS Install and copies them over.

 

Greetings

 

Alright thank you!

 

Ill tried it yesterday and it started to download again.

 

Ill try it again ;)

 

EDIT: God im stupid :helpsmilie: after maybe 5 seconds it tells me that its copying the files from the current DCS Folder.... :doh:

 

Thank you again and excuse my stupidity :D

Regards

...EDIT: God im stupid...

 

You think that's stupid. I downloaded the open beta and created a shortcut to it and tried to run it. Only got a black screen, no sound, no splash screen, just hanging on a black screen. So I decide to nuke it completely and just copy over my release version and then have that one update to the beta. Copied it over, tried to run it, same thing. Black screen. Came on here and searched. Didn't find anything relevant to my situation. Was about to post on the forum for help when this little dim light bulb went off in my head. Looked at the .exe my shortcut was pointing to in the openbeta folder and then compared it to my release version... Yup, dummy me pointed it to the DCS.exe and not the launcher.exe... Still feeling a bit stupid for that one... :D

Oh :D Now I feel better :megalol: well such things could make me crazy. Im glad im not the only one :D

 

Can you tell me step by step how to get the OB installer to convert my main installation to the OB?

 

Well Im not Blooze but ill give it a try ;)

 

Downlaod the DCSW Beta from here

 

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

 

Run the exe, agree to all and it will start to "download" files. In a few seconds it will tell you, that its actually copiyng files from, for example, C:/Program Files/Eagle... that should be all I think.

 

its running currently by me so it should work that way.

 

EDIT (again): Current Beta version should be 1.2.16.43180.9 if im right. Thats what it has downloaded at the end.

 

Regards

Go this post and scroll down about half way for instruction for converting to/from Open Beta and the release version.

There is plenty of info available on EOS systems no difference to radar implementation. The comparison with missile performance is a strange one to make, sounds more like grasping at straws to make a point.

 

 

not at all

 

the performance of the EO/IRST system in DCS is quite simply over-modeled

 

 

to start with, there is no argument whatsoever from the staff that the atmosphere in use is ideal/perfect - and that right there is unrealistic

 

and EO/IR systems performance are highly dependent on atmospherics

 

performance in haze, cloud, dust etc should suffer degradation - as well as low-alt vs high-alt - similarly looking up-sun vs down-sun and day vs night

 

 

all i'm requesting (respectfully) is for similar rigorous attention to detail be paid to the EO/IR systems as with the radar missiles

 

i think overall DCS would be improved ----- we would have to operate with sensor performance in mind

 

 

tactics!

 

 

 

i'm confused - how is that a bad thing? isn't that what we come to DCS for??

Of course, it is worth noting that atmospheric conditions can also boost the performance of IR missiles as well.

 

With high altitude night time conditions it should be possible for the R-27T to acquire a target at several times the usual range. Even the R-40T could acquire targets at around 40km under such ideal conditions.

 

So, yes, modelling the interaction with the atmosphere would be wonderful!

Had a look around, couldn't find anything on this... Does anyone know if DCS 1.5 will still require a GPU to run a dedicated server? If so, will the specs of the GPU need to be higher than they are now?

 

We will eventually be getting a dedicated server option, I am sure it will be similar to most dedicated servers out there, that said, we havent seen much info on it. They are very aware of what people dont like about hosting right now, I am sure it will be a much improved way of getting servers up for all.

Copy N Paste your /DCS/ Folder,

Open CMD Prompt from 2nd DCS Folder /Bin/ Folder

run: dcs_updater.exe update openbeta

 

place dcs_variant.txt in the beta's main /DCS/ Folder, inside the txt just put "beta" (w/o quotes)

-This will make a Saved Games/DCS.beta/ folder.

 

Copy any inputs from the original saved games folder.

 

Done, OB and Stable independant.

I use Steam, and I have bought all my modules on steam.

 

If I select "enter beta program" in the games properties, will it have the same effect as downloading the beta for DCS Standalone?

 

Or can't I use the beta?

 

Yes, I'm not using the steam version but as far as I know it would be the same.

Hey Sith,

 

(Not sure if this is right place to ask so feel free to move.)

 

Is there a plan to increase the available callsign database? I remember it being mentioned in one of Wags streams but haven't heard anything else about it.

 

Thanks for the hard work

The DCS World 1.5 was announced to be released along the L-39 module, in the first half of this month, i read it somewhere in the "official updates" section. Since the L-39 has been already released, when is DCS World 1.5 going to be out, or it is already? Is the L-39 beta using the old DCS World?
