Gpruitt54 Posted October 21, 2017 Posted October 21, 2017 I have an identical issue. I bought the retail boxed version BS1 way back when it was sold on a DVD. BS1 is no longer installed on my machine. Some version of BS2 is installed and working under DCS World. Some time ago, I bought an BS2 upgrade through DCS and I have that key in my DCS profile. But, the upgrade process says I must reinstall BS1 on my PC. I am completely confused as to what I need to do and this has been going on for nearly 2 years. Can I just buy a full version of BS2 and install it and be done with it?
flanker0ne Posted October 21, 2017 Posted October 21, 2017 Can I just buy a full version of BS2 and install it and be done with it? Yes you can do it for sure. In my case I've awaited for some sale to buy a full version of BS2 SCOPRI DI PIU': https://www.amvi.it/joinus.php DISCORD COMBINEDOPS The Battle Planning Tool
Gpruitt54 Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Yes you can do it for sure. In my case I've awaited for some sale to buy a full version of BS2 Would I need to uninstall the existing version of BS2? How does one uninstall a module from DCS World? I have several campaigns installed. If I uninstall BS2 will this affect the installed modules? there is a sale going on now.
Gpruitt54 Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 I removed the Ka-50 folder from the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\Mods\aircraft". Next, I bought what I thought was a full working version of BS2 from the Eagle Dynamics website. However, after removing the folders, BS2 is not in the module manager. I still see the request to install BS1. In my profile I have two serial numbers for BS2. Looks like I threw away 30+ dollars downloading a module that I already had and BS2 is nether installed and is still asking for BS1. WTF! Any idea what the heck is happening???
Blindeye_03 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I remember having an issue upgrading bs1 to bs2 and bought bs2 outright to avoid the hassle but it never told me to install bs1 when I did that... are you sure its completely uninstalled??
lxvanwyk Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 My Problem....... I got a new rig. Installed BS1 but for the life of me I cannot find my BS1 KEY......I do have the BS2 upgrade KEY. What now? Am I screwed? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
159th_Viper Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 My Problem....... I got a new rig. Installed BS1 but for the life of me I cannot find my BS1 KEY......I do have the BS2 upgrade KEY. What now? Am I screwed? Howzit Don't think BS1 had a key if I remember correctly. Just install BS2 upgrade and activate. Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career?

Bungle_uk Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 (edited) Bs1 needs to be installed AND activated in order to activate the upgrade to BS2 IIRC In order to obtain your key, go to the product page for BS1 here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/previous_versions/dcs_black_shark_english/ Once signed in, you should have an option to show serial number Edited November 6, 2017 by 214th_bungle_uk
Lixma 06 Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 Is BS1 to BS2 still available? I have the boxed version from 2011 but I can't see any way to buy BS2 as an upgrade....just full BS2.

Lixma 06 Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 I sent in a support ticket for clarification. Here's what they said... Hello. some times ago there was a BS2-upgrade module in our E-shop, but now we are finished to sell this product. We have only full BS2 version: 1
lxvanwyk Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 I sent in a support ticket for clarification. Here's what they said... :cry:This is very sad as I am a supporter of ED, Lock On, flanker etc and all for a long time now......hence original BS. It is a shame. I really apreciate your effort Lixma......thanx mate. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
