Padonis Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Is there a method to install only the maps you want to fly on a dedicated server? DCS already takes up a lot of space, and there will be even more, so why install more than necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padonis Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) The option to install selected maps would be a very good idea. It would certainly please many people, and this is probably not a very complicated matter. In addition, it would save players a lot of disk space and money to buy a larger disk. This is done in DCS World, why you can't do it on a dedicated server. Of course, this is only about maps, all objects, vehicles and planes must remain for obvious reasons.

ED Team USSR_Rik Posted July 1, 2020 ED Team Share Posted July 1, 2020 We are thinking about this option, it was useless with 3..4 terrains and will useful for 5 and more. But now it's impossible.

filda_33 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 This feature - to have the option to choose which terrains should be installed - is becoming a must. I run two dedicated servers - OpenBeta and Release. Each installation currently takes 170GB. There are two more maps coming - Kola and Sinai. Fair guess is 40-50GB each map. Plus all the new airplanes. Well, the airplanes are not that big a deal at the moment, even though who knows where the future takes us. But the maps definitely need to be optional. My "squadron" really only flies Caucasus and Syria and I am pretty sure most of the other groups use no more than three maps, yet they have to pay for more space (in case of cloud server hosting) or have to buy bigger SSDs just to store a bunch of data they are not even using. So, ED, pretty please, take it into consideration. I know you have a lot on your hands, but the way Dedicated server currently handles the maps is really impractical.

Eld0r Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 it is not as slim as possible but there is stuff spared. okay, given it's basically only the interiors that are missing lol. but how's AI able to see otherwise? Some stuff like the carrier launches is scripted but iirc AI is actually using textures when operating the pods. how to use FLIR without FLIR textures? but I agree having a selection for the map textures would be nice. that does mean that you cannot load all missions with all maps and always have to remember what you got installed. Anyway for drive space limited servers the ntfs compression works wonders on DCSs big files. I have it enabled on all files >400MB twitch.tv/eld0r — Chaos, dumme Sprüche, Chaos und keine Wiederholungen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
