SkateZilla Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Using the DCS_Updater.exe and a LocalSource File, You can run the updater and it will copy a majority of the files from the steam install folder, From there you just need to make sure your license keys are bound to your ED Login, Launch DCS, Login, and Module Manager will download all the Modules, Or you can use the Updater Utility to install modules. Unless you specify a new Folder using dcs_variant.txt, the new install will use the same /Saved Games/DCS/ Folder for all user saved content. Easiet Method to Convert from Steam Distribution to ED Distribution: 1. Create a new DCS World Folder, Then Create a /bin/ folder within that folder. 2. Create a dcs_local_source.txt file in the new DCS World Folder, containing the path to the steam install folder. *(Usually C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/SteamApps/common/DCS World/) 3. Download the DCS Updater Application from: http://updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com/ 4. Extract and place in the new /DCS World/Bin/ Folder 5. Run the Following Commands in Command Prompt from the New DCS World/Bin/ Folder: DCS_updater.exe init EN (Replacing EN w/ Another Language if English is not Primary Language) DCS_updater.exe install WORLD (This will Install the Base DCS World) 6. Install Any Modules You Own. There's 3 Ways to Do this: Option A: Make sure all license keys are bound to your ED Login (http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com , Profile, License Check), If All Licenses are Bound, Launch DCS, Login on the main menu, then click on module manager and follow instructions. Option B: Use the Command Line Installer Options https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030 Option C: Use the GUI Updater Utility: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=160053 Edited September 28, 2016 by SkateZilla Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's done, so I guess I have to reinstall. it's all good, though, as I have a gigabit connection, so maybe 20 minutes? Thanks so much for the help. Still no successful traps, but my last few attempts have been bolters, which is far better than crashing into the stern of the boat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
