The F-14 is still in Early Access. You have to be running the Open Beta version of DCS.

V2.5.4.28461

If you're using the Steam version of DCS, just select the game in your library, right click on it, select properties and on the Betas tab, select "Open Beta - public beta versions". It will then install the Beta version and you should have access to your F-14

It`s not the STEAM version.

 

 

I use the lates 2.5 DCS.

 

 

Can I install the 2.5 open Beta too without problems `???

I've never downloaded or installed the non steam version. But I would assume that you would install it like the Release version.

One point to note: the Beta version and the Release version are incompatible with each other in Multiplayer... So if you have friends in multiplayer that you fly with, you won't be able to enter the same servers together unless they switch to the beta version as well.

Yes you can, many of us are running both versions mate.

 

Enjoy her

2 installs of DCS are not a problem they run independently of each other.. the only problem I would see is if you have enough Hard drive space for both installs ;)

Hello,

 

That in bold is very good already, but to make sure you REALLY have the latest (needed) Open Beta version, you should:

 

- at windows command prompt;

 

- go to your directory: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin

(or something similar to this)

 

- when there, type exactly like follows: DCS_updater.exe update @openbeta

(pay attention to the underscore, and spaces)

 

- follow the remaining instructions.

 

 

If you have doubts post here, or read this:

Check this guide. Go into your DCS World\bin folder and run DCS_updater.exe update @openbeta in there, this will switch your installation to Open Beta. Usually the updates get transferred to the Stable versions a week later, but if something's broken in the OB, you might have to wait longer. You can always revert to Stable in case of issues though.

 

To get to the bin folder, right click your DCS icon, then select Open file path (not sure how it's called since I'm not running an English Windows, it's the 3rd item in my case on W7). There...

 

Hold Down Left Shift, and Right Click on the /Bin Folder and Choose Open Command Prompt Here).

 

There, type in DCS_updater.exe update @openbeta
