Updates and saved games mods question

[tmansteve]

Hi

 

 

As mods etc are now being installed to the Saved Games folder, do we still have to uninstall them when DCS updates? I uninstall anything that is in the Main DCS folder. Also, I uninstall all mods from Saved Games folder. When updated, I re install them.

 

 

 

Just need to know if this is correct so I don't waste time.

 

 

Cheers

I don't do anything but notice when I update, the mods have been deleted. I just reinstall the mods after updates.

Hello,

 

 

As the DCS Updates should only touch the /Program Files/Eagle Dynamics/DCS filetree, all the Mods that you put on /Saved Games are not affected, so you dont need to deinstall those ... only uninstall the Mods that modify the /Program Files/ path.

 

 

Even so, I still DO use a Mod Manager for the Mods that go into /Saved Games/ ... as sometimes I'm in doubt if some of them are causing trouble and need the ability to quickly deactivate them.

Thanks guys. I use a mod manager also so that I can install and uninstall safely.
