SnakeBT6 Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Hi Guys, Been away for awhile and am mostly interested in the WW2 side of things. Ive gotten the assets pack, Normandy and Combined arms. Now that I have the DCS 2.0 is there a need for 1.5? Just curious why Id want to have both for any reason? Sorry if it seems like such a basic question. Thanks, Pat
rrohde Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 I dumped 1.5.x once 2.1 hit. Just waiting for the amazing Caucasus reboot in 2.5 now. :) PC: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | MSI Suprim GeForce 3090 TI | ASUS Prime X570-P | 128GB DDR4 3600 RAM | 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD | Win10 Pro 64bit Gear: HP Reverb G2 | JetPad FSE | VKB Gunfighter Pro Mk.III w/ MCG Ultimate VKBcontrollers.com
cichlidfan Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 If you want to fly any of the missions included with the aircraft that you own or any other missions made for the Caucasus, then you will need v1.5.

VampireNZ Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Also remember that 2.0 is 'WIP', and as such ED tend to use it for testing purposes and release things that both 'improve' and 'degrade' the experience as they see fit. In its current state 2.0 is unusable for me as the HUD is pretty much unreadable with the current build, along with other issues such as gamma etc. As such I had to re-install 1.5.6 to be able to fly. Not the same for everyone, and I can guarantee someone will pipe up and say 2.0 is literally the definition of flight simulation perfection in its current state, and is all rainbows and gummy bears....so w/e works for you I guess Vampire
acdelta57 Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Me too, but also waiting for my Gunfighter pro to arrive! :) :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]1000 miles of road will take you around town, a 1000 feet of runway can take you around the world...unless your in a Huey, you can go anywhere with no runway in a Huey! multiplayer name ''DustOff=3=6''
pimp Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 I had to start flying 1.5 again since 2.1 NTTR keeps stuttering and crashing on me.

Reflected Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 1.5 runs way better and smoother, so I kept it for non-WW2 flying. But then I ended up creating modern jet missions over Normandy because 2.1 looks that much better and I'm too lazy to switch between 2 installs back and forth. Fingers crossed for 2.5 Caucasus and/ or improved performance in 2.1. Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
Buzzles Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 You might as well keep 1.5 installed as it's the release version. 2.1 is currently on the Open Alpha branch, which I suspect may stop recieving updates when 2.5 becomes the main release version. Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!
SnakeBT6 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Posted July 12, 2017 Got it! Thanks for the responses guys. Much appreciated.
