farmertom Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Hi, new here:( Is there a way to specify the time of day that the DSC_update runs? My internet provider has a "Bonus time" where I get some "free" bandwidth to use. Unfortunately it starts 2AM. Thanks for any help.
ouPhrontis Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Using Windows own 'Parental Controls' you could add a schedule rule per program (in this case DCS_update) for permitted access to the internet.

pj Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) You could try to schedule the update with Windows Task Scheduler, it's still available in Windows 10 but I'm not sure how to set it up to answer the prompts... edit: under the trigger tab you can set the time to kick off the task, under actions browse to the dcs updater program, it can definitely be done Edited May 15, 2018 by pj Win 10, Gigabyte Aorus Ultra with i5 9600KF @ 4.6GHz, 32G DDR4 3200 RAM, GTX 1070, TrackIR 5, TM Warthog stick on VPC Warbird base, Warthog Throttle for jets & helis, CH Throttle Quadrant for props, CH Pro Pedals, 500GB SSDs for installed sims :gun_smilie:
farmertom Posted May 15, 2018 Author Posted May 15, 2018 Thanks for the input.. :) I was hoping DCS_Update had a timer function...I guess I will have to learn task scheduler...:cry: -regards
fitness88 Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 DCS never updated unless I ran DCS_updater.exe, instead I run DCS.exe to start the sim.

Doum76 Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 You can simply cancel the update when it ask you for it, and manualy start the update yourself when you want it by clicking the « Uodate DCS World » shortcut that should appear in your Start Menu under Eagle Dynamics. That's personaly what i do when it ask me for an update and i don'T wanna update it right away because i'm feeling like flying and not letting a long download go. :) And When i'm done flying, i simply quite the Sim and go run the updater shortcut.
