Two-Six Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Hi Folks, I have the old DCS world, the Blackshark 2, the Huey and the A10C module. I have DL'ed the DCS World 2 Alpha and that runs but it says no terrain and shows no modules installed. If I go to the module manager and go to buy (when logged in) it says in the shop that I already have the Huey and A10C module. It doesn't recognise that I have the KA50 BS2 upgrade. However this was probably bought through another account from ED... That has always confused me, I do have the serial keys for all my modules noted down. I haven't bought the scenery yet but I will if I can be sure to get all my old modules installed without too much grief. So how do I go about using my old modules with the new scenery and getting it all to work? :joystick: Sorry if this has been asked a million times already, I have had bit of a search through the forum but so far haven't found the info I am looking for. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eight Ball Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 DCS 2.0 only comes with the NTTR so there's no point using it if you don't buy the new terrain. NONE of the previously bought modules will show up under the installed tab in the module manager, that's for already installed modules. To download your module you need to be connected with the account with which you bought them on the DCS shop. In the module manager they should appear under the module tab and you should be able to install them from there. If you have several accounts, you need to bind all your modules to one single account. To do so, log into the shop and click on profile (upper right). You will see a list with your modules. Cllick "details" and retrieve your activation key. Enter that key under the "license check" (on the left) and click check. You should see something like "bind to another account" with the possibility to enter another account name.

Two-Six Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 ummmmm, ok, perhaps I used the wrong terminology NTTR. What I mean is the new Nevada scenery. I will have more of a look at my account(s) later on today and see if I can combine all my modules or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyforDCS Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 ummmmm, ok, perhaps I used the wrong terminology NTTR. What I mean is the new Nevada scenery. I will have more of a look at my account(s) later on today and see if I can combine all my modules or whatever. NTTR is Nevada. You need to own the map, and have a valid serial key for the map, if you wish to fly with any module in DCS World 2.0. Currently only NTTR/Nevada is supported in 2.0. Current specs: Windows 10 Home 64bit, i5-9600K @ 3.7 Ghz, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB Samsung EVO 860 M.2 SSD, GAINWARD RTX2060 6GB, Oculus Rift S, MS FFB2 Sidewinder + Warthog Throttle Quadrant, Saitek Pro rudder pedals.

Two-Six Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) Yes, OK I get that I need to buy it, I am just reluctant to click the button until I have a clear idea about what's involved getting my old modules all installed and sorting my two account thing. Actually, I have just started getting into the A10. I sort of gave up with it ages ago as I couldn't work it :-) When I get the new Nevada scenery and DCS world 2 and all my modules working. I guess I will not need to have DCS world 1 installed any more will I? I used to do multi-player flying the KA50 a lot but haven't done this for AGES. I guess what I might loose is the training missions and the pre-made missions I have with the old DCS world right?

Eight Ball Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) This is no big deal, I have 2 modules binded to my current account and never had any issue. But if you really don't want to buy it, don't waste your time with 2.0 and try DCS1.5 (which comes with the old map) Edited December 2, 2015 by Eight Ball Find The Links To All My Mods And Liveries Here (in the gallery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-Six Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 DCS 1.5?? Huh? Now I am confused. I logged I to DCS 2.0 using my other account and now the module manager/shop has allowed me to install my 3 modules and it is now downloading the Huey. SO that looks OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyforDCS Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Yes you will be able to download and install them. However you will not be able to use them without the Nevada/NTTR terrain map.

Two-Six Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 If I go to install the Black shark 2 upgrade it says I need Black Shark 1 installed and activated?? So I dunno about that one. Another thing, I am getting very low on disk space as I have an SSD, so in order to have DCS2.0 installed I will probably need to UN-install DSC1. How will this affect things?

Vitesse2l Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I had a two account problem. For some reason I'd set up and purchased using two different accounts with ED and ended up with serials that wouldn't all work at the same time in World. An email to support resulted in the accounts being merged. Very quick, polite and helpful response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWillis Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 You can run just 2.0 on your machine as it is a complete install. However, be aware that you cannot run the Caucasus map in 2.0 as ED need to do some work on it to make it compatible with the new graphics engine. Nothing stopping you from keeping it on a slower hard drive, and to free up some room on the SSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellonet Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I own A-10C, I was under the impression that NTTR would be free if you owned A-10C.

Jonnio Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I think you had to purchase the A-10C back when it was in beta to get the map for free. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
