deyv Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 I'm coming back to dcs after few months cause of that big changes and noticed that having DCS on steam (ver. 1.5) I dont have in game manager to buy new modules. So my question is, should I consider steam as a platform that will not support new and future modules on DCS? |Ka-50|A-10C2|FC3|F-16C Viper|F-14A/B Tomcat|F/A-18 Hornet|Mig-21bis|Bf-109K-4|Spitfire.IX|FW190 D-9|Normandy|Channel|Nevada|Gulf|Syria|Supercarrier|AH-64D Apache|F-15E Mudhen|
Bailee Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 i don't think so anyway, you can install a standalone dcs into steam version and use that updater install ED store's modules.
cichlidfan Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 The steam version will support new modules. It just does not use a module manager since Steam already has a sales application and they don't want one that sends you outside of Steam.

Nirvi Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 If you use the steam version, you should buy all modules directly from steam. Modules on steam will be released with a short (and sometimes a bit longer) delay compared to the standalone version of DCS. If you want all modules as soon as they are released, you should switch to the standalone version. Serious uglies Discord 4YA - Project Overlord WW2 Server My DCS Videos
SkateZilla Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Steam Uses their own Store and Content Manager. There was Never a Module Manager on the Steam Distribution.

deyv Posted January 20, 2016 Author Posted January 20, 2016 Thanks for reply guys. Yea Im aware that STEAM has their own store only rule but was kind of not sure how to understand statement from last newsletter: "Note. All products (modules) should be installed via ingame Module Manager only. Dedicated installers will not be provided anymore." ...I wondered whether ED does not end cooperation with the Steam (Valve) |Ka-50|A-10C2|FC3|F-16C Viper|F-14A/B Tomcat|F/A-18 Hornet|Mig-21bis|Bf-109K-4|Spitfire.IX|FW190 D-9|Normandy|Channel|Nevada|Gulf|Syria|Supercarrier|AH-64D Apache|F-15E Mudhen|
SkateZilla Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 That was directed to Standalone Users that Use EDs shop/Installers. with every update ED used to compile separate installers for DCSWorld, and each module. They are no longer doing that. (Compiling new installers for everything).
