syzygy Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 Since so many maps and modules are coming out I am running out of space in one of my SSDs is it possible to have a feature to install modules in different drives like steam so that I can better utilise my free space ?
MAXsenna Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 Well, Steam doesn't really do that, does it? Aren't you limited to installing complete games to different repositories? Anyway, you can do it manually this way. Cheers! https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/complete-guide-to-symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/amp/

Something like that for the standalone dcs client. Thanks for the link I'll check it out ! 1

Yes, but you can't install the game on one drive and its DLC on another. 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 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
XCNuse Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 Yes you can; but you'll have to do a little research on how to do symlinking. In the meantime, I've put a request in to Nineline with this subject in mind, and he seems to have accepted it, and understands the necessity of it in the coming timeline. But for now; what you're looking for is called symbolic links. 2

Make sure you read the article, and if you want to to it even easier, there's a link in it to shell integration, so have a "GUI" for drag and drop. No need to use the command line if you don't want to. Cheers! 1
upyr1 Posted September 12, 2022 Posted September 12, 2022 It would be nice to have this when we install a new module 1
