Bought FC3 on steam last time, now Su-27, Su-33 and Mig-29 gone from my steam library

[Miwashi]

Does this affect anyone else? I bought it on Steam years ago and had them, then I didn't play for around 2 years and now when I check, I only have A-10A, F-15C and Su-25 in my steam library, How did the Su-27, 33 and Mig-29 vanish? Is there any way to fix this?

Steam keeps your purchases history, check to confirm that you actually did purchase them:

yes, FC3 is in my steam purchase history. But Su-27, 33 and Mig-29 are not shown in my steam library.

If you bought FC3 you should have all the aircraft available in DCS and your library should show FC3 module, not separate standalone aircraft modules, unless you did bought them separately, one by one.

It is because you already purchased some of the modules from FC3 individually prior to FC3 purchase.

You probably received message that Steam will not grant you with double modules,

You should go straight for FC3 purchase rather than individual modules from FC3.

Your modules instant action missions are now under FC3 tab in the game main menu.

I having similar issue, I had the original non-steam FC3 (way before they were sold as individual modules) and now I'm unable to use any of the aircraft except the Su33. I've uninstalled and when I returned to the module manager it gave me the option to install Flaming Cliffs 3 again. After reinstalling FC3 at launch I get a message saying the A10A F15C Mig-29s and Su27 are not authorized and disabled. Any tips to correct this?

+1 for the non Steam version

Same here. FC3 was purchased in Steam but it is still greyed out in the game like it is not installed.

Tried verifying files and re-installing the module but the issue persists.

ED are working on this bug. Be patient... or don't update on day one...

Don't update on day one after a two week delay on a patch? That's your contribution? People paid money for a product that they can no longer use and the solution is be patient and don't update the game...

You looked triggered, and I feel sorry you didn't understand my thoughts.

ED has a poor history with patches, they are used to breaking their own toys. If you have some experience with ED and with mods, you know that every patch brings a risk that your mods will break, or worse... (e. g. broken FC3)

So yes, this is my contribution :

- be patient, wait for other ppl's feedback before you decide to patch or not, don't update on day one

- if you did update, and if you have to deal with bugs/crashes, try to roll back to an older version

Well, as I said already, people still can use an older version and use a product they did spend money on.

You already know that ED is working on a fix, so what else could you do, apart from waiting ?

Of course, you could also start a petition form, and decide not to put money in DCS anymore, which would be much smarter than just sulking against a stranger in a forum.

 

Last point : if you don't know how to be patient, DCS is not made for you.

This is a terrible take

[Temetre]

I bought on steam FC3 and run standalone. For me I fixed the auth issue by reapplying the licenses via the "get licenses" thing.

[killjoy73au]

The following DLCs are not authorized and will be
disabled:
F-15C
Su-33
MiG-29
Su-27

So when is the fix coming? Or am I forced to pay and upgrade to FC2024?

1. What's your DCS version: standalone or Steam?

2. Where did you bought FC3: E-Shop or Steam?

3. Have you checked your AV software for quarantined/deleted DCS files?

4. Did you run DCS repair/clean or verify integrity (Steam)?

You play via steam or trasfered licenses to ED?

Had the same issue. Bought fc3 via steam, and transferd licenses to ed. After recent patch fc3 was not authorised. Transferd licenses to ed again, and planes became available.
