Fred00 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 I can't seem to activate Mig-21 in 2.0. I'm not even promted to put in my key. How can I activate it?
SirBunker Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Did you traditionally download it via module manager or the updater? Many modules popup their activation window once you try to join a game with the aircraft. If it doesn't even show up in the editor as playable then something's probably wrong with the module installation. Edit: The cockpit controls and pitch for MiG-21 don't work in 2.0 anyway, so unfortunately you wouldn't really be able to play anyhow at the moment. LNS are working on hotfix.

Fred00 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 Yeah, it doesn't even show up in the editor. I tried to re-install it in the DCS Open Alpha catalog, but the installer says it can't be done because I don't have DCS ver. 1.2 installed.
BaconSarnie Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 LNS are currently working on a patch for some major issues with the Mig21 in 2.0 Your issues could be related to the same problem, as SirBunker says the 21 is currently unusable anyway. Hold off till the patch is sorted then see if that also solves your issue. You download all modules for 2.0 like you did for 1.5, through the in game module manager. And lo, Reverend Vegas did say "Take forth unto the infidel the mighty GAU 8 and expend its holy 30MM so that freedom will be brung upon them who knoweth not the joys of BBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTT" "Amen"
Fred00 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 Okay, I will wait and see. Thanks for the quick replies guys!

Do you mean you downloaded the installation files from DCS website? That won't work, they're for the stable release only, you need to install the module via the module manager in-game, or use the DCS updater application. This goes for all modules.

Hm, the only button that comes up in the module manager next to Mig-21Bis is the "Buy" button. When I click that button come to the webshop on EDs site where I can buy or download. If i choose to download we're back to the problem in my second post unfortunately.

Is your MiG-21 key tied to the account you logged in in-game? Alternatively you can always install the module via the dcs_updater.exe.
Fred00 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Posted December 7, 2015 I ended up installing it through the updater. Worked like a charm. Thanks for the replies!
