DCS World and DCS Dedicated Server on Same Machine. Combine Install Space?

[Salvin49]

I have dedicated server running on a laptop.  It works great but I want to be able to open the mission editor on the same Laptop.  how can I do this and save space  by not having to have two 100gb installs?  Can I combine the files?  Can I delete the map downloads out of one of them?  Not going to play dcs on this, just edit missions.  Thanks.

I launch a dedicated server on a second PC when playing Liberation to help with performance. I use the same install that I used to play the game with (before I got my new PC) I just run the .bat file in the bin folder of the DCS install. I just use I different log in for the server so I don’t have a massive download every time an update is released.

I can either launch the game normally or launch the server so quite often I’ll generate the mission in Liberation, open DCS through the .exe (as normal) and check out the .miz file in the mission editor. Then close DCS and open the .bat file to launch the server.

I don’t know if this helps, but in a nutshell I have one install and 2 logins and no problems
