JIMJAM Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Like most I saw the huge DCS WORLD AVAILABLE so I downloaded it. I had read somewhere in this total mess that after install and everything was carried over it deleted the "old" version to save space... Where the hell are they?? I see all my planes/helis but no Vegas or Normandy. I loaded the editor and see no saved missions I made or any Vegas/Normandy maps to edit. Are they history and do not come with this new version? Are they hidden somewhere for me to find. Also noticed I will need to remap all my planes/ helis. Should have waited.
Art-J Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Your missions and controls are in the SavedGames/DCS2.OpenAlpha (or whatever it was called) folder on system drive, so unless you somehow manually deleted this one as well, just go there and copy the them to corresponding folders in Saved Games/DCS OpenBeta location. Not sure about the NTTR and Normandy maps, though. Do they show up in content manager? Maybe they didn't install at all. Is your new DCS folder at least 90-few GB big? i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
JIMJAM Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) I was frazzled last night from both a illness and imo DCS could have used better names for the various versions which sound similar. I found that folder and saved it, then had to copy it. move it to another drive for later because instal prog said I already had the terrain installed. Took FOREVER to DL so I left the computer on and went to bed. Of course when I woke and checked it was a error message. MY SSD WAS FULL!!!! So back to square one. Been doing this since I had a Tandy 25MZ running Microprose F-119 so I am use to being kicked in the crotch by our beloved hobby. Edited February 2, 2018 by JIMJAM
