Pello86 Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Hello, I was wondering if there was a difference between the DCS steam edition and DCS 2.5 on the DCS website?

Art-J Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Open Beta version always gets new products, features and fixes first before stable version, but, being Beta, it also has much more new bugs and glitches in it. It's up to you to decide what's better for you. The good thing is, you can have both installed and functional separately on your PC (if only you have enough space), or, you can convert one into another without reinstalling the whole thing if you change your mind. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
Pello86 Posted April 28, 2020 Author Posted April 28, 2020 Brilliant thanks for the advice.

Rudel_chw Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 I was wondering if there was a difference between the DCS steam edition and DCS 2.5 on the DCS website? They are almost identical .. the main difference is that maintenance chores are easier on Steam, for example on Steam you administer the DLCs that you want installed, through this Window: On the stand alone DCS you do the same through a harder to use "Module Manager". Also, participating on the Openbeta is easier on Steam, while on the stand-alone version you need to install the Openbeta using a Utility software. Checking files integrity is also easier on Steam, while on stand-alone you use a separate Utility. Finally, usually the download speeds are higher on Steam. Where is the best place to download DCS from? Probably Steam is easier and faster ... but I prefer the Stand-Alone version direct from the developer, as I prefer to fully support the developer, instead of having Steam take a 30% cut. I am just starting back up simming so sorry for the newbie questions.Welcome back, to this wonderful hobby :thumbup: For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
Pello86 Posted April 28, 2020 Author Posted April 28, 2020 Thanks Rudel for that awesome information. I think I will use Steam and Open beta.
