Gman109 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Ok, noob issue here I'm sure. I have most modules/terrains, and with the update today it won't install as it says I only have 60gb left and need 80something to complete the update. I tried deleting some modules and terrains, but then the amount of needed space just increases in the warning and it still says not enough space. What am I doing wrong here?

SkateZilla Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Separate Install on Traditional HDD, Update that one then use DCS_LOCALSOURCE.txt, Updater will just copy files from one install to another.

Gman109 Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Errr what? So I can install another copy of DCS on another drive. Then update that one (how?!). Then how does one use DCS_LOCALSOURCE.txt, do you just type that somewhere or what? Edit - I tried doing this, it just started moving my files from my original folder to the new one. There really should be a simplified way of doing this. I think I might just swap out to a 1tb drive I have sitting around and just re install it all. Skatezilla, I've heard you have a program everyone uses for booting/etc, will it help out with this to the PC illiterate?

draconus Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 PC illiterate just go and install new disk - you don't have to reinstall all on the new disk - just copy DCS installation folder and run from there an update. If you're fine with removing some terrains you have to remove them from the Module Manager (not disable by the switch, use the trash icon). You can also use free space from other drive if you have one, by using symbolic link.

Baldrick33 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I use Windows symbolic links so I have my DCS installation on my 500Gb M2 drive with a couple of the larger terrains (currently Falklands & Syria) on another SSD drive. The DCS installation sees it as all on one drive. https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/complete-guide-to-symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/ In my case: mklink /J "g:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\terrains\Falklands" "f:\DCS\LinkedFolders\Falklands" mklink /J "g:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\terrains\Syria" "f:\DCS\LinkedFolders\Syria" AMD 5800X3D · MSI 4080 · Asus ROG Strix B550 Gaming · HP Reverb Pro · 1Tb M.2 NVMe, 32Gb Corsair Vengence 3600MHz DDR4 · Windows 11 · Thrustmaster TPR Pedals · VIRPIL T-50CM3 Base, Alpha Prime R.
