Cracking update by the looks but, and there's always a but Not a fan of this way of updating, it requires way too much disk space in reserve. @Eagle Dynamics I was wise and freed up my drive (again) to have around 160GB free of space. Dark Souls trilogy had to be moved to HDD now (since E:D grew so big with the Horizons update), was almost 50GB. The only wish I have it that the installer would tell us before starting the update process: How big is the DL (packed), how much space will it need while installing in total (packed PLUS unpacked) and maybe also how much more DCS will be after it's done. 6 hours ago, gulredrel said: "Helicopters AI.

draconus Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 5 hours ago, Sr. said: Any idea why I had to redownload 3 aircraft, Supercarrier and 3 terrains? How it works is the installer checks your current files and if any of them needs update or is found with wrong CRC it is backed up and new file is downloaded. Possible causes: mods, own modifications and files, disk errors... virus... After all is good and tested you can delete _backup folders (check if you really need any files recovered from them first) and _downloads content, if anything is left there.

Dragon1-1 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I really wish they had spaced their updates out some more. There was zero reason to dump Cyprus and the Hind into the same update. This only causes each update to take up an absurd amount of HD space. I'm on Steam, in part because it's slightly smarter about these things than ED's own launcher, and I still had to free up a few GB. Not cool. Most people have DCS on an SSD, and space constraints are a serious consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon1-1 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) The point isn't not to get an update, the point is to get it piecemeal so that it doesn't require too much empty space on the SSD. Mind you, this space will sit idle 90% of the time, so it is a concern. I paid for a 500GB M.2 SSD to have 500GB of storage, not 400. I ended up creating a symlink so that Steam doesn't download stuff to SSD, but that's not something most people know how to do. That'll make installing things even slower than it already is, but I can live with that. 58 minutes ago, Vakarian said: Then buy more storage space. It's not cool asking for features to be dumped because few people lack storage Not dumped, spread out. Even across two days would have sufficed. It's not like there's a law that all DCS updates must be on Wednesday. Or even better, download and install the core update first, then immediately start updating each module in turn. Not a solution for Steam users, but Steam is more efficient with HD space, anyway. Also, spreading out updates helps with troubleshooting. If you can pin a bug down to one specific update, that's great, but if that update changes half the game, then it's less great than it could be.

Dragon1-1 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Well, obviously I'm not actually going to fill it to the very top (well, guess what, DCS had just done that with this update...). Besides, it's a system+VR drive, everything else takes place on a large HDD. The point is, DCS is starting to require an inordinate amount of space to just sit idle in case a big update happens by, which is a problem in my book. 60GB is far more than you need to keep a 0.5TB SSD in good shape.

You paid for 500, got 440, and probably shouldn't go higher than 400 to keep the performance and usability. They can spread the updates all the way but you'll still hit the wall when you're out of space, and it's not devs' fault.
