Why do we have to use a beta(Steam) build to use Suppercarrier?

So I bought SC and realised I have to switch to beta, so I did, now DCS will not start. I see from forums I'm not alone, any fixes? Also, anyone know when we can use SC in stable build? I thought that would be the case with full release.

 

Sorry if the answer is obvious, still getting to grips with DCS.

Everything is released into the Open Beta version first, before going over to the Stable version. This allows the developers to work out major bugs that might have slipped internal testing, before pushing it to Stable.

Ok, so early access is different from beta? Do we know when it's out of early access?

 

Cause its early access and that is the only way to use it as of now.

Early Access (EA) is a module specific term, it means that the module is not feature complete and is under active development. After the module becomes feature complete, it'll exit Early Access, with perhaps only small additions to be made down the line.

Open Beta (OB) and Stable are platform wide terms. There is a Stable branch, which is the official release version of DCS and there is the OB branch, that is often one or more game versions ahead of Stable.

The purpose of Open OB is to receive updates, features and modules sooner, so they can be used for public testing purposes, before being pushed to Stable. If an OB version proves to work particularly well, it's normally pushed to Stable and the two branches are on the same version until the next OB update drops.

So you can have an EA product on Stable. Example, the F-18 is in EA, but it's available on Stable.

To be honest, i don't think this is correct, given the fact that there is a very long list of items to be added to the Hornet after it will leave EA by the end of this year (at least that's what is communicated as planned)..

 

Saying that, i wouldn't be able to define what EA means in ED terms, something different every time it pops up? That being said, i could care less about which is called what as long as i know the modules are still being developed.

 

Most important in regards to OP question, you also mentioned: always open beta first, regardless of module.

Yeah, that appears to be an exception to the as of now established practice, but I personally hope they'll reconsider and keep the EA label on the Horner for as long as it takes to finish it.

Honestly, i don't even care how they call it as long as i am convinced they are actively working towards completion. All those naming issues of different modules in different states is just another piece to rub and gain tension on for the community, and we are rubbing and gaining tension enough already as is
