[VMFA-Blaze]

I've actually downloaded the 2.5.3.25225 from the main page but was informed that Version 2.5.3.23954 is the version that has the AGM-65 e laser maverick and the JHMCS..

 

 

My issue is I can't find the new version download on the main page Where exactly is it???

You downloaded the stable version, i guess 2.5.3.23225 (not 2.5.3.25225)

Open Beta, the version with the latest updates for the FA-18 is 2.5.3.23954

You can find the open beta here (second download option)

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/

 

or here

https://updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com/

 

or you download SkateZilla's Updater GUI tool and switch your installed stable version to the current Open Beta version or vice versa

Normally sometime around 1200 UTC (probably 99% of releases are within 4hrs of that). For standalone, it depends if you've played the game in the preceding 24hrs - the game only checks for updates once every 24hrs, so if you play just before the update drops, then your game won't update until the next day. You can force it through the command line or using Skatezilla's utility.

I just use the Updater.exe in the dcs folder. Seems easier than a command line.

I don't think that actually checks for an update if you've already started the game that day (and it checked already) - it just starts the game up. I normally have to use the command line to get the update if I've already played.

You just navigate to the /bin folder in program files/eagle dynamics/DCS World open beta, then shift + right click and 'Open PowerShell'. Then type 'cmd' and press enter, then type 'dcs_updater.exe update @openbeta' and press enter, and it'll update (assuming the new update is out and available - there's sometimes a bit of a delay between the changelog appearing and the download being ready).
