CIWS Posted Thursday at 11:57 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 11:57 PM In order to do the update I removed files so that the update could go ahead, some of those I have to put back, but most of the remaining drive space is available again. Pointing to another drive/folder for the temp files to run the update would probably be the best solution without having to spend even more money buying bigger primary drives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I set up the dcs.exe shortcut and it still goes through steam "update this game when i launch it" Ahh, that works on standalone. No idea how to do that on Steam (or if it's even possible).

IvanK Posted Friday at 01:07 AM Share Posted Friday at 01:07 AM 2 hours ago, MAXsenna said: As you correctly wrote and what the screenshot shows, was that you could select the root drive as the target. IF, ED at the time had forced the creation of a _download folder under the path chosen. There would never have been an issue. They should look into this again, as more and more users face free space limitations. Could be set through the new launcher/in game. And show the "_download" folder in the path chosen.

crazyeddie Posted Friday at 05:14 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:14 PM Ref the viseo above by Hog_Driver. I do this with all my Liveries - I created a link to them in my Saved Gamges/MoDS/aircraft folder - and I stuff the huge liveries folder into anthoer SSD. It works perfectly but this last update I actually had to remove a couple of maps and some aircraft as well, so MANY THANKS Hog, VERY USEFUL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
