zero Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 Checking module manager and buy info... No joy. Just noticed that one of purchase pages info you need open beta? What? Where it is? Checking World 2.5 - no link to open beta... Doubt I got enough space for another world to be installed. And I am scared stiff to f.. up DCS - now it is running flawless for a month, and it feels stable.. Final question: When will it available for my installed world 2.5? :joystick:
razo+r Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 It is labeled Open Beta: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/ When will it be on stable? Nobody knows.
zero Posted May 23, 2020 Author Posted May 23, 2020 Thanks.. Remember the noise around Normandy. Also a pre release purchase. When do we learn. Note to my self: Wait for X-mas sale... Thank for you for free trial. I tested F-16 and should bought that one instead. I be on the fence for beta. I will check progress. I will fly the Tomcat from land for now.... :pilotfly:

Furiz Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 You can switch from Normal to Open Beta and back with this, there is stuff to download around 40GB when doing it, just be aware. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=160053

zero Posted May 24, 2020 Author Posted May 24, 2020 Thanks.. Been around since Sublogic sim on CBM64. Done my share of beta testing. Now I want plug and play. Even on other simulators there are unexpected crash and bugs with addons on release. (And I do not blame publishers) That is why I wait a couple of months to purchase. And I did expect some bugs in Supercarrier too, if too annoying, I could just deactivate it and continue flying until fixed. Now it is too time consuming, activating aircraft again, setting up graphics, move over key binding , and the usual troubleshooting that goes along with it. Finally not sure if HD space permits. Other sim addons do fill up my HD too. Anyway ... some day DCS will run an update, and Supercarrier can be activated.. :pilotfly:

I'll just set on it until its more complete.

I'll just set on it until its more complete. Yes - I know it is beta. A quick install, and if not happy I could leave it. Not a big deal. Supercarrier is a different time consuming beast. You have to install a completely new sim, along with new setup. I rather spend time in flying. I was quite happy with F-16, but dropped it for Supercarrier. Looks like a great module for my favorite Tomcat. :pilotfly:

Supercarrier is a different time consuming beast. You have to install a completely new sim, along with new setup. :pilotfly: Oh...is THAT what the deal is?...gotta DL Open Beta all over again just to get the new carrier?....... I was wondering why it looks like it will take well over 24 hours to download the Super Carrier and a couple of other mods ordered. I'm currently downloading the file onto my old PC which already had DCS Open Beta on it, just to see the carrier. I don't fly the Open Beta on that PC anymore usually because my new PC has slightly better specs. I fly the Stable Version on it. I may as well just cancel the download and forget about it.....just wait till they update the Stable Version. The download is so slow ...I ain't gonna wait another 12 or 15 hours with this crappy connection tonight. I got carriers I can land on already anyway. Edited May 28, 2020 by Cpt Cuckoo
Shimmergloom667 Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 What? Are you saying that the, DCS Updater GUI / Launcher Utility is about 40 GB to download? No, he says that there "is stuff" to download when "doing it", which is moving to OB. The updater itself is small. i7 - 9700K | 32 GB DDR4 3200 | RTX 2080 | VKB Gunfighter Mk II /w MCG Pro | Virpil T-50CM2 Throttle | TrackIR 5 | VKB Mk.
