MonsterZero Posted December 20, 2022 Posted December 20, 2022 I think the Module Manager is the weakest link in the game because I've had problems with it in the past. Black Shark 3 is installed and paid for. DCS sent me email confirmation for the order and payment confirmation as well. In the Module Manager Black Shark 2 is still listed in the same place it's been for years, but there is no link to update the version 3. It would have been better if they had gotten rid of the Module Manager and provided direct download links for every product. I don't want to go through this every time I give them money.

Art-J Posted December 20, 2022 Posted December 20, 2022 Just for the record, are you on the latest version of Open Beta? BS3 won't be available for you if you're not. That has always applied to every new module release, recent and past, direct link or not. The manager is not to blame here. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
Solution AdrianL Posted December 20, 2022 Solution Posted December 20, 2022 You must be on v2.8.1 or higher. Right now that means you must be on the latest open beta
Kaktus Posted December 20, 2022 Posted December 20, 2022 lol .. i missed this totally, so my dcs is not up to date ..it needs to be in 2.8.1 ..how do i do that? and open beta, does that mean game is less optimized and more crashy, buggy?

You have to install it separately if you don't have it installed already. The other option is just to wait until the stable version is updated to 2.8.1.

Kaktus Posted December 23, 2022 Posted December 23, 2022 so is open beta like totally new game, so you have to have basically another dcs on top of stable.. so 2 times HD space or should i say SSD? also, will black shark 3 appear eventually in stable?

It is the same game, you don't need two versions. You can convert Stable to Open Beta, check the link I sent you. Only difference is Open Beta is never version. 1

No worries. I don’t think the storage requirements is much higher. I recently upgraded to play BS3 and didn’t see much difference. Merry christmas. Edited December 24, 2022 by grimnir

Merry christmas. hmm,..well i "did it", ..managed to update,change whatever to DCS open beta, but it was not as ppl here mentioned, it was as i feared... a new dcs was downloaded, open beta, so basically i ended up with dcs standard-166 gb, and open beta, aprox the same, ..so i deleted dcs standard as i don't have so much space to waste.. NOW the BIG ISSUES))) omg, wth, .. i try playing with BS3 obviously.. the controls are all over the place.. i made vide with my phone as don't have time to deal with cheap online video recording software.. and will post it soon, you will see how controls are wack, also taped how controls set up in settings. Basically, my cyclic would move all of a sudden after i move my throttle a bit strongly down and right and stay there, ..i set up again, recalibrated etc, ..same story, exited the game, entered again and this time no controls possible, in setting in dcs i see my throttle and cyclic working as intended, in game nothing, they are dead. so i tried different craft, so went with su25 and it works perfectly.. wtf.. omg, seriously guys, playing dcs for me is like 90% time in settings ..5% setting a mission and 5% flying..is it worth it? ..

Hm you ended up with two installs? I need to check now. Controls for BS3 I had to set up again. Perhaps you could copy profile from BS2 to 3, but I just configured controls again.

If you don't want two installs just delete the one you don't want. In this case the stable version and keep open beta. In the future run the DCS updater exe and it will UPDATE DCS not add a new install. I use it to start dcs and then it chacks for updates whenever I start DCS, after it checks for update it then starts DCS. Easy.
