dburne Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Have a look here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/modules/dcs_black_shark_2_upgrade/ Note you will not install BS1 into DCS World but as a separate install. BS2 you will install into DCS World through Module Manager. However consider doing yourself a favor, especially if you think you are going to stick with Black Shark for a while. ED is currently running a sale, and you can get the full version of BS2 for fairly cheap. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/dcs_black_shark_2/ This way, you never have to worry about having to have BS1 installed to install BS2 ever again. I bought the full version some time ago just to avoid having to worry with this with DCS World and re-installs. My copy of BS1 has been shelved for some time.

Tone71 Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Completely agree with dburne, you would do well to pick up BS2 in one of the sales, save yourself the upgrade hassles.

Yurgon Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Have a look here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/modules/dcs_black_shark_2_upgrade/ Actually, the upgrade is deprecated. It's still available for download, but can't be purchased any longer. The only way to purchase BS2 these days is to buy the full version. On a side note, the upgrade was a big mess, as it required BS1 to be installed and activated before the BS2 upgrade could be activated. I'm glad it's not available any longer, because it caused tons of issues, the last of which when BS2 upgrade owners weren't able to activate the new DLC campaign. I still think ED should grant all BS2 upgrade owners a full BS2 license and be done with the support issues once and for all. (Note, I have BS2 full, so this is not selfishness :D)
