Any idea of installing an update manualy in case that I have not do it when the game starts?

There is a DCS_updater.exe in the bin folder of your installation, which also should have a shortcut in your start menu.

Yes I've been trying to do that for a while I took the time and searched a bit, it's mentioned around the forum and major threads, stickies.

 

 

By default the game installer creates only one "DCS" shortcut that doesn't actually lead to DCS.exe, but to DCS_Updater.exe, which by default updates and then runs DCS.exe, but the shortcut still uses the DCS.exe icon.

 

 

 

To override the default behavior and do only-update you would specify a command line option, which you can do right in the existing shortcut

 

 

"S:\Games\DCS World\bin\DCS_updater.exe" update

 

 

 

But then you need another shortcut which you need to do manually, you skip the Updater completely and point it to DCS.exe directly.

 

 

"S:\Games\DCS World\bin\DCS.exe" update

 

 

 

That's it.
