tmansteve Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 I realise this has been discussed before but had to ask. I am using version 1.2.16.43180.9 as I don't want to upgrade to 1.5 yet as might not have enough power to enjoy it. I connect OK but see no servers. Is this due to my version I'm running or do I need to install some other files to get it working? Any help would be great as fed up flying on my own. Cheers Steve
razo+r Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 All Servers are running on 1.5.2, and there is no reason why you wouldn't update dcs since it optimized the perormance
tmansteve Posted February 7, 2016 Author Posted February 7, 2016 Thanks Razo+r OK, but what about the mods I have installed? Will most of them work or are there updated versions? I noticed that some might not be needed.
DieHard Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) I kept my modded 1.2.16 as archive because of my mods. I can still play by myself and with the AI. The mods for 1.2.16 most likely will not work for the newer versions of DCS. But the newbie mods or updates should not be too far into the future before they start showing up. Stop by the modding forum once in awhile. I also have DCS 1.5 release, plus its OpenBeta, plus the 2.0.1 OpenAlpha. Doesn't look like too many folks are flying the Alpha, just yet. Bought a SSD for my active DCS stuff which will free up space on my hard drive. Just waiting to get in the mood to tear my PC apart to add it. Edited February 8, 2016 by DieHard [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
tmansteve Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 Will pop over to the modding forum. I need a more powerful graphics card to help with newer versions. 1.2.16.43180.9 is working great at the mo with graphics already in so waiting for more funds. Do you have the three DCS versions as separate installs? Cheers
DieHard Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) I am running a single Geforce GTX 680 with 4GB memory with no negative issues, so far. I have 16 GB ram. My 2.0 Alpha is currently in ( C: ) Program Files (64-bit)\Eagle Dynamics and its OpenAlpha sub-directory. My 1.5 and 1.2 builds are in a separate dedicated directory titled DCS World with 2 separate sub-directories for each, currently also under ( C: ) . 1.5 is setup by the DCS World install as the release version and it has within its directory the sub-directory for its Open Beta. My 1.2 I titled it as a modded directory. Before I added JSGME, my mods were done long-hand. I have 4 separate directories unique to themselves and each are separate updates when they are offered. Take care Edited February 9, 2016 by DieHard [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
