But then they won't be part of the dedicated disk for DCS. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried installing the South Atlantic map on my non-SSD c drive as part of a "stable" DCS installation there that I don't actually use. This let me identify which folders need to get symlinks to install it as part of my OpenBeta installation on an almost full dedicated SSD. I created those symlinks, and another one for the downloads folder. The OpenBeta installation program happily downloaded the map using the symlink for downloads, but then refused to install it, because it said I had limited space on the SSD. Nevermind that the installation wasn't going to be stored on the SSD. If you have a workaround I'd like to know more about the details. I'm Softball on Multiplayer.

To be honest I've never tried myself, but I've never heard about anyone having issues with it. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
