D.Va Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Hey, I'm seeing a lot of threads and a lot of confusion and I thought an installation thread for people who don't want to search through the other threads would be appropriate: First, you must use DCS OpenBeta (OB) branch: CTRL+R CMD C:\Games\DCS World\Bin DCS_updater.exe update @openbeta Second, you must update to DCS 2.5.4.28461 and if it doesn't happen automatically when you start the DCS shortcut or DCS_updater.exe (in Bin), then you can force it: CTRL+R CMD C:\Games\DCS World\Bin DCS_updater.exe update Third, open the game and a pop-up will ask you to install the module like always. Update download time: 30 minutes Module download time: 15 minutes Reference people to this thread if they're panicking! Edited March 13, 2019 by D.Va Read my DCS 2.5 Optimisation Guide (version 2.5.4): https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3828073
ctguy1955 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 When I do finally get the message to download the F-14, it gives me a message: Unknown Heatblur Module
tanker82 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Same getting Unknown module when using CMD to install. What is the name of the module to install via cmd?
Smee Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Install Skake Zilla's installer (found on the forum) set it up properly, and all will be fine. HERE you go. Edited March 13, 2019 by Smee
MCAS Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Thank you lord jesus because I did not know what the hell was going on! All I knew, is I paid 70 bucks and the damn thing was NOT THERE--thanks for the INFO--clueless, I guess. It looks like it will take all night with my Dial-up Modem (WTF)...I thought we got rid of these speeds 20 years ago?????? I think at this point I would rather watch PAINT DRY--Does this TOM CAT come with a gallon of grey paint? Edited March 13, 2019 by MCAS

tanker82 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Install Skake Zilla's installer (found on the forum) set it up properly, and all will be fine. HERE you go. Its not recognizing module any ideas?
Smee Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Its not recognizing module any ideas?It will only recognize it if you have a valid ED license, and then entered the game, and installed the module. Can you check that, please? Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

JamesChams Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 HOW DO I: Install the F-14 released today into the DCS World Stable release? Anyone know how to install the F-14 released today into the DCS World Stable release?:joystick: Finally, figured out that I needed to install the DCS World OpenBeta in-order to install it, after several attempts to load the Module Manager (in DCS World Stable release) and finding that it did NOT even acknowledge that I had a product that needed installing and could NOT get it to do so by default.:doh: :pilotfly:

Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk I do have a valid ED license, Have check. I have decided to reinstall DCS open beta completely over again. My module manager has not work for ages. I just been using CMD to install them which has worked until now. I guess this is the wise solution. So better now than later. LOL i knew the day would come
JamesChams Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 I bought my copy from DCS E-Shop and have an order# that came with it, but no ED license; it says I have a keyless "something" attached to my account.:book: So how do I get ED to send me a ED License? No sendowl emails from them or heatblur yet; who & how do I request that? :helpsmilie: New here to ED/DCS so not sure about all of this yet.:joystick:
Zarma Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Just update DCS to latest OB, launch the game, go to module manager and install the F14. i9 9900k, 64 Go RAM, RTX 4090, Warthog HOTAS Throttle & Stick, Virpil AH64 collective, TPR rudder, MFD Cougar, Trackir 5 Pro, Multipurpose UFC, Alain Dufour's TEDAC and Oculus Rift S (when I want some VR), http://www.twitch.tv/zarma4074 / https://www.youtube.com/user/Zarma4074
JamesChams Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Just update DCS to latest OB, launch the game, go to module manager and install the F14. Thanks, I'm doing that right now ... how do I get it to install into the DCS World Stable release? When I update the DCS World Stable Release it doesn't find any updates. And, the same with the module manager; it does NOT load the F-14 module for installation even if I hit refresh button a few times. :doh: FYI: I did not have that problem with installing the AV-8 or F-18 early access versions into DCS World Stable Release, all worked well. :music_whistling:

VampireNZ Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 When you finally download the Updater Utility, convert over to the Beta release and wait for the download, then activate the F-14 and wait for the download, then go to start Oculus to jump in VR.....and Oculus doesn't work thanks to Facebook online fail BS meaning oculus can't be run.... FML!:badmood::furious::badmood::furious: Vampire
kiss4luna Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 My home computer updated DCS this morning and get the Tomcat in 30 minutes. My office computer still can't get the update. I'm trying to use the repair function now. Will report later. Not working. Still 27430. Both are stable version. RTX 3070
Surrexen Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Incase anyone needs it, the command line installer for the F-14B is: DCS_updater.exe install HEATBLUR_F-14

I'm trying to use the repair function now. Will report later. Not working. Still 27430. Both are stable version.It wasn't released for the stable branch, so you are likely running OpenBeta at home.
