cam_aviator Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Hi! I'm trying to download DCS off of the website to my D drive instead of my default C. Normally it says where do you want this file to go, but on the website it doesn't. How do I do this?
Rudel_chw Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 It depends on the browser that you are using, on Google Chrome you use this setting to have it ask where to download things: 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
cam_aviator Posted January 5, 2021 Author Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) @Rudel_chwI enabled that. Here is the issue: It saves the "setup file" to the D drive. But the actually DCS installer and DCS saves to the C drive. Edited January 5, 2021 by cam_aviator
Rudel_chw Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Click on the three dots, to the right of the address bar, on the menu that shows, select Settings. Then scroll to the bottom and click "advanced", then look for "Downloads" 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
cam_aviator Posted January 5, 2021 Author Posted January 5, 2021 I edited the message @Rudel_chwcheck it again. @Rudel_chwYeah, it saves the start up to the D, but the actually installer/DCS blue icon is located in the C drive.

You will have to run the installer from a Command Prompt, and give it an option like this: dcs_world_web /dir="D:\DCS" These are all the options you can give to the installer: 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
cam_aviator Posted January 5, 2021 Author Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) @Rudel_chwThis might sound dumb but I'm not experienced, how in the first place do I get to the command prompt? Edited January 5, 2021 by cam_aviator
Rudel_chw Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Click on the windows start icon (on the lower left corner of the windows desktop) and type "command prompt" without the quotes.

cam_aviator Posted January 6, 2021 Author Posted January 6, 2021 @Rudel_chwI have the control panel pulled up, what next?
Rudel_chw Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 Sorry, if you have never used a command prompt it would be best if you get an experienced friend to goto your home and help you with it, as a wrong command can be very dangerous with your data if improperly used. trough this forum I can help and suggest, but I'm not in front of your pc so it is difficult to guide you along.
