kiss4luna Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Hi guys! Strange issue. I have two PCs, the same DCS version and the same user account. One can find and download the F-16 module in the module manage menu, the other one can't find it. What could be wrong? The two PCs are not in the same location. Need help. Thanks in advance. RTX 3070
QuiGon Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I guess one of the PCs is running the Open Beta version of DCS and the other one is running the Stable Release version. The former has the F-16, while the latter has not (yet). Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
Greyman Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Maybe it's because it's only licensed for one PC and the account "knows" it is already installed elsewhere?
kiss4luna Posted October 22, 2019 Author Posted October 22, 2019 didn't find any beta symbol in the one that has F-16. i may go recheck that. thanks! RTX 3070
QuiGon Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 didn't find any beta symbol in the one that has F-16. i may go recheck that. thanks! There is no beta symbol. Check the version number in the main menu and compare with this: https://updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com/ Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
bbrz Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Is it possible to install/run one add-on on more than one PC? i7-7700K 4.2GHz, 16GB, GTX 1070
QuiGon Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Is it possible to install/run one add-on on more than one PC? Why shouldn't it? With the old activation system you would just loose another activation and with the new activation system they're just bound to your account.

bbrz Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Oh, that's great. Didn't know that I can install it on my laptop too! :) Btw, the F-16 product description says that you need 2.5.5 stable! Edited October 22, 2019 by bbrz i7-7700K 4.2GHz, 16GB, GTX 1070

QuiGon Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I don't understand why the info on the shop page is wrong. Because it will be true soon, once the F-16 will have been released for the Stable, which can already happen tomorrow.

bbrz Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 This doesn't make sense and this is clearly false advertising. You have to buy it at full price now, you get the info that you can use it with the stable version, but it isn't. i7-7700K 4.2GHz, 16GB, GTX 1070

It does actually say Open beta, not Stable Release: Requires DCS World Open Beta version 2.5.5 or above! https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/viper/ Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

kiss4luna Posted October 22, 2019 Author Posted October 22, 2019 There is no beta symbol. Check the version number in the main menu and compare with this: https://updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com/ thanks. there is indeed no any sigh of beta in the game but i do find the one with f-16 to be 38040. thank you very much.

kiss4luna Posted October 22, 2019 Author Posted October 22, 2019 Don't get it, is the print in red not showing up for you?? yeah, my bad. totally ignored this part. thanks very much. RTX 3070
QuiGon Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 thanks. there is indeed no any sigh of beta in the game but i do find the one with f-16 to be 38040. thank you very much. 38040 is the Open Beta version from last week. It got updated to 38140 yesterday. So yeah, this machine has the Open Beta installed and hence you can install the F-16 there.

QuiGon Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Don't get it, is the print in red not showing up for you?? He's browsing the shop in german and on the german site it does indeed not say "Open Beta".

kiss4luna Posted November 2, 2019 Author Posted November 2, 2019 I think the situation in my case is very strange. Yesterday I clean-installed the openbeta and found my control profile needed to be re-configurated. And when I check my saved-games folder I found these. The DCS.openbeta folder is brand new created without any user files. The DCS folder is full of all my files including the F-16 config files and it was created in 10/11. In other words, the "maybe" DCS beta uses my very previous DCS stable version's saved game folder for a very long time (at least for over a year). I don't know how this happens but maybe someone touched my computer and messed up with my DCS installation. RTX 3070
