That's just how it is. Needs some testing. You know you can have both installed, if you have the disk space? It will also be faster updating the other installation. You can also share the Saved Games folders so they'll always be in sync. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The download shouldnt be too large, as most files are unchanged between both versions. 1 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 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when the Apache is released for stable, it'll still be in early access state, with features still WIP. So if you're ok with that (which basically also means testing an unfinished product), why not just move over to Open Beta version entirely? OB version really ain't bad at all.

This I'm looking at.. but I do not understand it fully. Risky for me. It's pretty straight forward. Take a look at your DCS icon used to start DCS... right click and select Properties. In the "Target:" section, you should see something like this: "D:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS_updater.exe" Your path may differ, and it may show "DCS World" instead of "DCS World OpenBeta" in the path, but it doesn't matter. The key is that the program you are running is called "DCS_updater.exe". This program checks to see if there are any updates, and prompts you, otherwise it then calls DCS.exe to start DCS. All you need to do is: 1) Make a copy of your normal DCS icon/shortcut, call it "DCS update to Open Beta" or some such 2) Right click on this new shortcut, and click Properties 3) In the "Target:" section, change (using my path example above) it to the following: "D:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS_updater.exe" update @openbeta This will update DCS to the latest Open Beta. You can then use your original DCS icon/shortcut (the one with just "DCS_updater.exe"), and it will run DCS as per normal, but now it's Open Beta. Note: If you want to change your DCS back to stable, you can create yet another copy of the DCS icon/shortcut (like I described above), but change the "Target:" to the following (again, using my path example): "D:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS_updater.exe" update @release If this seems too complicated, you can always use Skatezilla’s utility as suggested by Rudel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switching your stable install to open beta will consume a marginal ammount of disc space compared to the update you need to download to get the Apache. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Clark Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 ED has been pretty good recently about pushing new content updates to Stable fairly quickly once the game-breaking bugs are squashed. It'll still probably be a few weeks though. 1 Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.
