NeilWillis Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 thanks, mods such as terrain add ons? or even the Huey add on? Should one uninstall before any update? The only totally reliable method of updating is to remove all mods, then repair, then update. It is also wise to add mods sequentially after an update, testing each as you proceed. Use JSGME or a similar mod manager to make the task easier.

NeilWillis Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 All mods have the potential to stop DCS World from working after updates, as they are not necessarily compliant with EDs core code. The key is to have a method of disabling them prior to updating, and then testing them once the new update has been applied. Take a look at this if you want to have an easy way to apply and remove mods: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=98607 It is best to start with a clean install of DCS World prior to setting up JSGME. Once it is installed, use it to install and uninstall mods with the press of a button, and then you are good to go for updates. As stated, just uninstall the mods, run a repair, and then do the update. Once the update is completed, re-load the mods one at a time and see if there are any issues. Do it methodically, and any rogue mods will easily be found.
