MiG-29A/G/S are always here...

[Oceandar]

MiG-29 ? What did I miss ? 29 EA today ?

I have two short cuts for DCS, the ST version which has the updater, and the MT that just starts the game without checking for updates.

Since the ST version will be gone, what will be the best way to update, still use the ST updater shortcut?

 

[BIGNEWY]

ST DCS is being removed. ( bin folder will now contain MT DCS and is duplicated in mt-bin for backward compatibility with shortcuts and will be removed soon )

So for now you dont need to change anything, but in the future it will be the bin folder only.

So, until then, all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us?

All we have to do is uninstall all the mods, clean and repair and keep hitting that gorram F5 or Update key.

In order to prepare for the update, no doubt!

Hehe! Yup, while I can't remember the patcher ever going live before the patch was live. Looking good though!

Mine won't update, says it's up to date with last patch version

It updated the updater, but not the main program

The Launcher updated, and then opened the new menu.  I clicked 'Check for Updates', and nothing...

Guess it's not quite live yet.

[andyfoot]

Yeah, just saw Bignewy said it'll go live soon

 

[BIGNEWY]

As soon as the patch is live I will post here, not long to wait. 

thank you

Wow, all the love for the Syria map. Didn’t expect that. Still my favorite map!
