Release: in stable or OB?

[Gianky]

Hello there!

 

 

Sorry if it's already been asked or said, but this is the first module I buy in pre-order, so I'm wondering: when it'll come out, will it be released in stable, or in open beta?

 

 

Thanks in advance for the answer!

New releases always show up on Open Beta first.

will be open beta.

Friday Hotfix after next OB update

I'll guess I'll be changing over to Open Beta then :D

 

Is there a hassle free way to update from stable->open beta - or is it better just to have separate install and move your missions, settings and keyboard commands over to that?

There is and it's actually very easy.

 

If you have the Steam version you just have to select the open beta in the game properties of DCS in the Steam library.

 

If you have the standalone version of DCS, you have to open the windows CMD, navigate to the bin folder that is located inside the DCS folder and execute the following command: DCS_updater.exe update @openbeta

You can find more information on how to do that here.

 

That's it :)

Thanks again for your answers, guys!

 

And thanks, Master QuiGon, for showing this (not so) young Padawan the way to switch from stable to OB without too much hassle (and, I hope, not too many GBs to download...)!

It should be exactly 0.0 GB if you switch now, because right now the Open Beta and the Stable Release are exactly the same ;)

That will change next Wednesday again of course.
