JCook Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Hello I purchased the Viper months ago, now ready to download and fly it. Where is the link to download? Shouldn't it be avalable for download in my Module Manager?

JCook Posted October 4, 2019 Author Posted October 4, 2019 DCS World Ver 2.5.5.35461 Is that the right one?
JCook Posted October 4, 2019 Author Posted October 4, 2019 Dawgie79 Does thst mean i am a few fractional versionz behind what is needed? Shouldn't it automatically update when i login?
dawgie79 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Yes, and if it doesn't you can do it yourself. Windows key + R, type in 'cmd' and hit OK. type in: cd C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin (this path is user-specific, if you didn't make any changes during DCS installation, it should be this), hit Enter type in: dcs_updater update @openbeta, hit Enter Wait until finished. :)

JCook Posted October 5, 2019 Author Posted October 5, 2019 Ran the updater it says my version is up-to-date
JCook Posted October 5, 2019 Author Posted October 5, 2019 I have 1a 1.5 version as well as the version i mentioned. Now i need a third version?
Jethro11 Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 A lot of people only run open beta client. Lots of multiplayer servers do too. It’s the only one you really need

Rudel_chw Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 I have 1a 1.5 version as well as the version i mentioned. Now i need a third version? You need to decide what do you want .. DCS releases new planes on the Openbeta branch, and after a short while to ensure that they dont have show-stopping bugs, the plane gets released on the Stable branch. So, if you cant stand major bugs, then stick to the Stable branch... on the other hand, if you want to fly an aircraft as soon as possible, then chose the Openbeta branch. Of course, if you've plenty of hard drive space, you can have both.

It was there before 2.0 was the mainstream. Decide between open beta or stable. Like others said everything is released on open beta first. Takes a while to be released on stable version.

WynnTTr Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/ CHoose the open beta. And as Jethro said it's the only version you'll really need, especially for SP. Even most MP servers run the OB.
JCook Posted October 5, 2019 Author Posted October 5, 2019 Ok downloading open beta.. now in additio to the open beta downloading, i have a folder/file structure for the following: DCS World DCS World 1.5 DCS World 2 OpenAlpha I will probably run out of space with the beta download, and surely won't habe enough room for the F16. Do i need all these folders? Anythi g i can get rid of?

Do i need all these folders? No need to download OB, you can convert the stable release into openbeta using the skatezilla’s utility. The openalpha version is not needed anymore, unless you have some specific need to keep it.

JCook Posted October 5, 2019 Author Posted October 5, 2019 I have some a10 campaigns i bought a few years ago, havent even flown them yet... I thought i needed to keep on of these versions around to fly them. Is there some type of uninstall i need to do to rid myself of the open alpha, or just delete the open alpha folder?

JCook Posted October 5, 2019 Author Posted October 5, 2019 Thanks guys for the help. I've got the beta environment installed and downloaded the viper. It looks like all my other modules are available to add also. I dont have a lot of space left on my dcs drive, but i'd like install the persian gulf and nevada sceneries. I just need to see how much space they take up.
Cloudhopper Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Thanks... same issue. 2.5.5 Open Beta, but couldn't find Viper in Module Manager. Updating now.

Do i need all these folders? Anythi g i can get rid of? You dont need any of them. If you really need the stable version, that would be DCS World 2.5 (Only required if you are flying on a MP Server which sticks to Stable version). Other than that, just keep the DCS World 2.5 OpenBeta Branch and enjoy the newest update every couple weeks (with a higher chance of bugs of course... But that basicly stated in the name of the branch :smartass:). So update to OpenBeta 2.5 and delete the other folders (or vice versa). Those files are to old to update from anyway. ;) Intel I9 10900k @5.1GHz | MSI MEG Z490 Unify | Corsair Vengeance 64GB - 3600MHz | EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 VPC T-50 Base /w Viper & Hornet Grip | VPC Rotor TCS Pro w/ Hawk-60 Grip | TM TPR LG C2 42" | Reverb G2 | TIR 5 | PointCtrl | OpenKneeboard
