You need to start the DCS.exe directly from the bin-mt folder inside you game installation folder.
When DCS is open, you have to look at the bottom right corner where you have the current version running:


p.s. x moderator. Wrong section since it's not Multiplayer related I guess

@BIGNEWY
The FAQ states "Steam users will have a MT VR option in the launch pop up."

That option is still missing from the steam launch pop up.
Do you have any info if/when this will be added ? There are some workarounds, but not all of them really work and are quite inconvenient.

Thank you

Note that by default, any Steam desktop shortcut (inc. to bin-mt) launches the Single Thread version.

To launch the Multi-thread DCS Preview version without using the Steam GUI - you should change your desktop shortcut to

• steam://launch/223750/option1

"You need to start the DCS.exe directly from the bin-mt folder inside you game installation folder."

I can't seem to find this folder.  Does anyone know the exact folder path within DCS or DCS open beta folder to start looking?

This is for standalone DCS. If you use Steam version I'm afraid I can't help you, but normally DCS folder should be in STEAM\steamapps\common.

Replace "Archivos de Programa" with "Program Files" or whatever it's called in your language.

Hi. I did find a folder in there that says "bin"with a DCS executable in it, but no "bin-MT" folder.

[diego999]

That's the "regular" DCS, not the multithread one.

Are you running the latest version (2.8.5.40170)? Standalone or Steam version?

[ElCuco68]

Ah, I just figured out where I screwed up (long story).  Thanks!

No problem. Glad you sorted it out.
