2.5.6 for Corsair and Essex Class Carrier and WWII Marianas Map

Recommended Posts

Hi,

       I'm not sure if I put this in the correct sub forum. Ifnot I apologize and please move. I recently completed my successful update to 2.5.6 and I am hoping this will work with the title mentioned modules. If not I will update further but how do I proceeed from 2.5.6 to the next version? When I try to do this through the updater when I log in it just tells me that 2.5.6 is complete and doesn't bring up the next version. I assume since the newest is v 2.8 it was preceeded by 2.6 and 2.7 and that brings up a question. Do I need to install these two previous versions and in a particular sequence before proceeding to v 2.8 or can I install that directly on top of v 2.6? And if I don't, will I be able to run the three previously mentioned modules in 2.5.6? I am assuming the new versions can be found on the DCS wensite. I have also checked the module manager to see if the three I mentioned are listed there but can't find them so I assume they are not available yet. Do I need to do periodic checks of the website to learn about product release or will this information be provided by emails? I am not very computer savvy so I hope I am not irritating anyone with some tech questions that may seem obvious to someone else. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need the latest version of DCS to be able to install and play new modules. Except for the Marianas Map, the aforementioned modules have not been released. From the top of my head, you need 2.7 (maybe 2.8) to incorporate the marianas map.

Launch DCS via the dcs_updater executable and it should prompt available updates, though I don’t know if you can break the process by being too far behind.

In any case, you can download and install the latest dcs version (stable or beta) from the website.

In the shop description for each module the needed version of the game is listed.

When a new module (the corsair e.g.) is released, you will get to know it from their website, youtube promo videos, discord or the forum. Hardly missable.

@Hiob Mind you, Ace was asking specifically about WWII version of Marianas, and this one's not out yet either.

@NavyAce You will be able to update from 2.5.6 straight to whatever latest version will be required when the three items you mention become available. No need to hurry now, however - we expect them to show up somewhere during 2023, but it can be months till they're here.

You‘re right. Missed that.

Because for 2.7 and higher you need Windows 10.

That's quite strange. What full version number is displayed in the right bottom corner of the main screen once the game starts?
