downloading modules via preferred torrent manager

[SKIPPY 7-7]

[uPDATE] I think I figured out how to do it and it's easier than you might think.

 

1. Open DCS and start downloading modules. Let it run for several minutes and cancel it.

2. Go to the directory as mentioned below and download the torrents for the modules. There could be 1 or more torrent files per module.

3. When the torrent downloads complete. Move and replace the files you just downloaded to the directory below in the folders that were automatically created when you let DCS start downloading modules.

4. Open DCS again and re-download the modules and it should just "complete operations" without downloading much more if not anything.

 

**If step 2 doesn't create the folders you're looking for. You could (a) wait longer and keep refreshing the directory window or (b) Go back to module manager and just select the module you want.

 

[EXAMPLE]: I want to download the AV8B-NA Harrier

1. Open DCS, click on the module manager and select the harrier.

2. Let the DCS updater run for a couple minutes and then terminate it.

3. Go to the directory as mentioned below and download torrent files:

a) "DCS-2.5.6.47224-RAZBAM_AV8BNA.common-base-0"

b) ""DCS-2.5.6.47224-RAZBAM_AV8BNA.common-update-0"

4. Copy both the downloaded torrents to the folder in the directory below, "RAZBAM_AV8BNA.common"

5. Open the DCS module manager again and select the harrier

6. Let DCS updater do its thing and there you go.

 

 

This is what worked for me, for one module. Might be able to skip step 5 of the example by just running the DCS updater however I haven't tried it :)

 

 

 

under ~\DCS\DCS World OpenBeta\_downloads\.torrents are torrents for modules. Is it possible to use them in a preferred torrent manager (ie qbitorrent) to download and then put them into DCS?
