Harley Posted October 25, 2024 Posted October 25, 2024 So, I started the trial for the Afghanistan map, downloaded as much as I could, and right at the end, I got the warning of "Not enough hard drive space". I hadn't checked to assure I had the space for it, because I had no idea my little 500GB SSD was filling up with all the other modules and maps I'd also bought. It's the first time I'd even used the trial feature, 2 weeks have expired, and I just got a new 2TB drive yesterday. Is there any hope that support can restart my trial period? I'd really like to try it, albeit I'm likely just going to buy it anyway. I hope that isn't an odd request. I'm just trying to see if any of my favorite online servers will host one for this map before I commit. I also see that Iraq is now also available. If you all keep up with doing this, we're gonna need an option for storing maps in a separate SSD! I absolutely love how busy this world is with coming out with new things all the time.

If you all keep up with doing this, we're gonna need an option for storing maps in a separate SSD! Iraq is in preorder, not in EA yet. I have basically everything and DCS is 950Gigs or so without Saved Games/mods. Windows has a feature called symlinks, which tricks applications to think you haven't moved folders. It's a wish/requested feature to do this natively in DCS, while I don't see it implemented in the foreseeable future. You probably have the space, but your drive became full during the installation, and you might consider moving the _download folder first, next time you run out of space. Hopefully a few years down the road. Cheers! 1 1

You can see all servers on the MP list, so you can check what maps they run - even those you don't own. 1 1 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Rift S T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
Harley Posted October 30, 2024 Author Posted October 30, 2024 (edited) I just ended up buying it. Turns out, it's really a work in progress. Afghanistan has a lot left to work on, so as for battle planning, there just aren't enough finished bases yet. But what is completed, or close enough, looks very good! They are really making it look "lived in" and active. Something for everyone. But it's still pretty early, so I don't expect to see it being used just yet. Also, I moved all of DCS into a new 2TB SSD, so there's a healthy amount of space to add to. It seems almost surreal how much data that programs of any kind are consuming these days. I'm old enough to remember playing Oregon Trail on a green monochrome Apple 2E computer. That was likely KBs in total size. How far we've come. Edited October 30, 2024 by Harley 1
