JOKERACTS Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I got my DCS World installed on a single 240GB drive alone and it is now with 43.5GB free space left. And I got another drive with 175GB free space on it, can I move the DCS module to it? so I can purchase new DCS map and other module and install on those drive with sufficient space. Anyway, will there be future update for the DCS launcher to support separate drive installation of module? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use symbolic links to move any folder to another drive. But still behave as if they're on same drive.
