jww123 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 (edited) As it stands now, if you run DCS updater and there isn't an update the program loads the non multithread DCS. It would be nice if you had the option of specifying a dcs version to load if no update is found. Perhaps an Updater located in the MT Bin rather than just in the non MT Bin.

Ironhand Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 The easiest way to handle it is to link the updater itself directly from your Desktop. That way you only start the updater and not the sim. 1 YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU1...CR6IZ7crfdZxDg _____ Win 10 Pro x64, ASUS Z97 Pro MoBo, Intel i7-4790K, EVGA GTX 970 4GB, HyperX Savage 32GB, Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB SSD, 2x Seagate Hybrid Drive 2TB Raid 0.

jww123 Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you mean by linking the update. How do you specify the updater to open the MT version and not the non MT version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironhand Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Sorry. My error. I use the Windows power shell to start the updater and I thought that starting the updater from the Desktop would work the same way. But it doesn’t. Unlike using the power shell, starting it from the desktop will also start the sim. If you want to try the power shell approach, use file explorer to navigate to the “bin” folder in your DCS installation. Highlight it. Hold down the SHIFT key while right clicking on the folder. In the context menu that opens, select “Open PowerShell window here”. In the window that opens, type: CMD The cursor will drop to a new line. Type: DCS_updater update Done. If there’s an update, it’ll update. If there isn’t, it’ll tell you that you’re up to date. In neither case, will the sim start. 1 YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU1...CR6IZ7crfdZxDg _____ Win 10 Pro x64, ASUS Z97 Pro MoBo, Intel i7-4790K, EVGA GTX 970 4GB, HyperX Savage 32GB, Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB SSD, 2x Seagate Hybrid Drive 2TB Raid 0.

draconus Posted Thursday at 06:34 AM Share Posted Thursday at 06:34 AM No need to use powershell or cmd. Just make a shortcut to "\bin\dcs_updater update". There should even be one in the Start Menu app list from the default DCS installation.

And that will start the sim after checking for an update. That’s what I had tried first. The same is true in the start menu.

"update" is an argument, "dcs_updater.exe" is a file to run with that parameter - then it only updates DCS, never runs the game.
