Downloaded 2.0 now see I need 1.5

[unpilot]

So I decided to try and get back into DCS and specifically the A10C.

 

I downloaded DCS world 2.0 and bought a Warthog Hotas and set about learing this bad boy again. The problem is I see there are no training mission with 2.0.

 

So I need to know ...can I download 1.5 and have it running along side 2.0?

I tried and it looked like it was going to automatically update to 2.0.

 

Are there any campaigns or training missions available for old/newbies like myself?

 

Thanks

Sure you bet you can have both installed. A ton of us do. You will want to have it in it's own directory of course, no merge yet. And there are a ton of missions and a couple campaigns for the A10 as well I believe.

Hi unpilot,

 

You can absolutely have both running at the same time, there are actually quite a few of us who bounce back and forth between the two on a regular basis.

 

There are some pretty solid stock training missions for the A10C in 1.5 that should work well in getting you off the ground. I also recommend Bunyap's videos on youtube, he does a good series called "On The Range" that is super helpful. Check out Chuck Owls excellent guide as well, it's a pdf that breaks the manual down to the important bits (it's actually much more than that but simple explanation), Chuck Owl's work is fantastic.

 

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply's...It just looked like the auto updater was "updating 1.5 to 2.0

 

Ok downloading 1.5 now....

The installer/updater is smart enough to recognize that there is already another version of DCS installed and copies files from it if they are the same. Remaining files are downloaded from network.

A side note but IMO ED did a really good job with the implementation of install/update/repair functionality.

Yes IT worked like a charm...must faster than downloading all files again.

 

Now I just have to learn how to play the piccolo again!
