Alfredson007 Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Hi all. So the 1.5 was officially released, i however have, of course, had the open beta 1.5 eversince it was released. Now i'd like to know, do i still get newer beta updates than the stable 1.5 would get? Will my openbeta -1.5 update anymore or do i have to change to "proper" 1.5? or does my "openbeta" DCS continue life as a 1.5 stable eventhough the shortcuts and folder will have "openbeta" mark on them. Thanks!
ED Team c0ff Posted December 30, 2015 ED Team Posted December 30, 2015 your openbeta will continue to be what it is - an openbeta, either identical to the current release or ahead of it. Dmitry S.

Okay, kind of makes sense, thank you. So far i don't mind this, but if for some reason i'd like not to have openbeta anymore, is there an easy way to do this, or do i need to completely install the non-beta version from the scratch?

nervousenergy Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Open a command prompt, navigate to the \bin folder under your main DCS installation path, and run "dcs_updater.exe update @release". There's a sticky here on the forums somewhere by Sith that gives a MUCH more detailed explanation of this, along with screenshots and examples of all of the options you can give the updater. Search the forum for dcs_updater.exe and it should be one of the top results. Running that right now won't do anything, except report that you're running the latest version, as there's no difference at the moment between them. I'd hoped that it would at least acknowledge switching from beta to release branches for future patch rollouts, and perhaps it did, but you don't get any indication of that from the updater. Edit: c0ff beat me to it, and even provided a bonus explanation of which branch your on and the pitfalls of it. Thanks!
