Mr_sukebe Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 I've been running just 1.5 for a while, mainly to simply maintenance of the consistency of controls for my aircraft. Just re-installed 2.0 to get myself ready for Normandy landing (are we really expecting that to happen in late May, or a certain date a week later in June). On adding my aircraft modules, the v2.0 installer promptly also copied over what seemed to be circa 37gb of data, including what appeared to be all of v1.5. So when I fired up v2.0 and looked at missions for say my Huey, it loaded the 1.5 engine and the Caucasus map. Is the above expected behaviour? More importantly, does this mean that my v1.5 install can be deleted as my v2.0 has taken a fully copy? 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat
Art-J Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Certainly not expected. 2.0.x should be installed in a separate directory and while doing so, it should copy from 1.5.x only the aircraft, units and some core engine data. It seems you somehow might have created a "Franken-install" with both terrains in one build together. That did happen to some folks a couple of times (usually by forcing the 2.0 installer to work on 1.5 folder by mistake) and if it works OK (which remains to be seen) good for You, but it's neither supported nor recommended, so proceed at your own risk :D. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
razo+r Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 I assume you have the NTTR so you better reinstall or repair 2.0 if you have the caucasus map instead of the NTTR
Mr_sukebe Posted May 4, 2017 Author Posted May 4, 2017 Thanks. Seems that I've ended up with multiple installs. Just to be sure, cleaned out the folders and promptly got 110GB of space back. Looks like I've made a real mess of installation over the last year. Time for a clean fresh install of v2.0, and the fun job of sorting out my keyboard controls. 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat

Controls are saved seperately from the install. Typically savedgames>DCS>config
cthulhu68 Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 You can just copy your 1.5 control files to 2.0. Copy and rename Saved Games folder and you may be able to salvage controller settings after reinstall.
