Does that mean, that you used the updater with the DCS_Updater.exe update @openbeta command on your 2.2 Open Alpha to convert it to 2.5 Open Beta and it worked?
So far it seems so yes!

I'm in the middle of the download, but about 38Gb need to be downloaded so I do think it's working.

I did not need to do the hack described in the link above. Only

DCS_Updater.exe update @openbeta

By the way, I like the new color of the shortcut icons.

Sometimes it's even the little things...

Started with 5-6MB/s and now it's stuck under .5MB/s ....never felt that bad about my internet connection!!

Count yourself lucky. I'm downloading at a breakneck speed of 270KB/s. After 13 hrs, it shows 63% of the download completed. Hopefully it'll be downloaded by the time I get home from work this evening.

Is the open beta already available on Steam? I had the Open Beta for 1.5.8 selected and now started a 9GB download.

Yes, it's on Steam and it's fantastic!

 

Steam will also let you download it as fast as your connection runs.

Indeed. Just finished the download and launched the game.

 

Fantastic. I wasn't expecting this, hope this wasn't an early release by mistake by ED.

If you don't already have the Open Beta installed, please wait for the DCS World 2.5 installer coming later today.

You will have to download it manually from the website. That's what the standalone installer is all about.

I have Alpha with Normandy and Nevada however I couldn't wait so I followed these steps.

 

Downloaded 1.5.8 stable

Using Skatezilla's utility software I updated to latest beta (2.5)

Booted up 2.5 and downloaded all modules including terrains

Copied my missions and controls successfully in saved games folder under users/saved GAMES/DCS Alpha/Input and missions

Wiped Alpha

Now I am copying the entire install 100 gigs onto my SSD

In 30 minutes will take off from Batumi airport

If you have 2.2 installed the 2.5 install will copy maps and modules and then download everything else. You should make a backup of your Saved Games folder before you start and then you can drop your old Config file into new install as well as missions, loadouts, logs, and skins if you stored them there..
