OK I just changed myself from Steam to ED native installation today. I simply got the ED DCS World Web installer from their web site

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/stable/

 

I got the serial numbers out of my Steam version for the modules I had purchased from Steam and made sure they were activated for my account. See instructions in;

I then let the web installer to download and install the game and then got the module manager in game to install the modules.

 

I did read a while ago that there is also a way to use our Steam install for large part of the game files by adding some install location text file to your directory, so that it does not have to download all the files, but now that I wanted to do it, I did not find the instructions anymore (they are somewhere here in the forum).

 

Anyhow, it did work fine for me. Now I have all the modules I purchased from Steam in my native installation and just waiting for the 16th of Dec for the Spitfire.

 

I'm using JSGME for any mods, so that was also straight forward.

RedShoes, thanks for the info. If I note my aircraft module keys, could I simply uninstall and delete all Steam DCS files, re-download from ED using the installer then re download and install my plane modules ?

Yes

 

If you have the disk space required, no need to uninstall and delete the Steam DCS files. I currently have both, but will eventually remove the DSC version.

Note that most of your settings etc. are saved in windows Saved Games\DCS folder, typically under C:\Users\<YourUserName>\Saved Games\DCS

Both versions use these, so switching is fairly straight forward. In my case all the controller and graphics etc. settings got carried over to native version.

Good question. When operating standalone, license keys are stored in Windows registry, so You can install/uninstall the game wherever you want, making as many copies as you want (for example 1.5 and 2.0) and the activation keys don't need to be used again.

 

I don't know where Steam stores the keys and if standalone install would automatically locate and recognize them in the similar way. Just in case, noting down the keys is a good start - in either case, it saves some time clicking later.

 

Edit - Sniped. Well, if RedShoes says it can be done, so be it :).

Thanks again. I am very fussy about system clutter, I have tons of disk space and I don't mind starting from scratch with controller / graphics settings etc. I find Steam a pain in the butt to be honest and I would rather clean DCSW out and start fresh with the ED version.

Did it a couple of weeks ago, when I finally decided to completely drop any more investment on present civil sim platforms ... and not to spend my money in the FSLabs A320, but instead, invest more in DCS amd IL-2 BoK and collector planes :-)

 

Really looking forward into it !
