TBone Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 So, I paid for this map in pre order to take advantage of the sale. I however run The stable DCS version, not open beta? Typically how long until a new module/terrain is out of beta? I know that some modules are released directly to the stable version and I did not see any indication when purchasing Syria that it would be released in open beta. Did I miss something? Can I expect this on all new terrains? Will Syria still install when it is out of beta without a new purchase?
twistking Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 sure, it will install normally as soon as it is available. i'd assume that syria comes to stable with the next patch. My improved* wishlist after a decade with DCS *now with 17% more wishes compared to the original
hornblower793 Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 Assume that everything will release to OB first - this is to check for any significant issues It should then come to stable in the next patch within a few weeks to a couple of months. If you want to try it before this time you can use either Skatezilla's graphical utility or a commanline switch for the updater to convert your stable to OB and then convert back at the next update (both assuming you are running standalone and not steam).

JimEb58 Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 Could this be why Syria isn't even showing up in my module manager after I purchased it? I bought Syria and an unrelated campaign in one transaction. Eagerly opened DCS to start my downloads and only the campaign showed up. I don't pay attention to 'beta' or 'stable' as DCS just updates itself automatically. Only auto updates stable versions I presume? Version I'm currently running is 2.5.6.52437....which I assume is therefore not compatible with the Syria map and thus why it doesn't show up in my module manager?
