How to get the free trial?

[Raijin]

How should I install the free weekend content if I already have DCS World with an existing SU-33 and Persian Gulf maps modules?

 

It should appear to you in your modules manager.

If it doesnt show an automatic message to install the remaining modules go to the f18 and it will show an install button instead of a buy button.

Select the F/A-18C Hornet in module manager and download/install it.

 

Not sure why you'd want to install Su-33 and Persian Gulf map if they are already installed ?

 

SU-33, Persian Gulf, and F18 are communicated as being part of the free weekend content. The communication about the free weekend offer does not indicate that these are separate items.

In the beginning of the installation process I pointed to my default DCS World folder. In response, there was a message indicating that installing to the default folder may overwrite some content in that folder structure.

 

I was concerned about overwriting existing content with these free weekend module items. I should halt the installation and instead point to my default DCS World folder for the installation of the free weekend content? Bty, I already have the SU-33 and Persian Gulf maps. What happens when I install the free weekend version of these modules into my existing folder, will I not overwrite them with the free weekend files?

 

Yeah, just install what you want to try and skip the rest, I dont even think it should be asking you to download what you already have.

You can pick what you want, it shouldnt ask to download what you already have.

OK great news. I will log into DCS, look in the module manager, and initiate the installation of the free weekend F18 module. Does that cover it?

Yeah, you should be good to go.

The issue with new users or users that haven't bought anything should be fixed now, please try and report back, thanks all!

What a great model the F18 is and the Map looks stunning in 2k . Would like to say thank you for this Free weekend .

Indeed, thank you ED! Although I'm not a big Hornet fan, it was interesting to try it and do some laps around the boat. Certainly a top notch module.
