PhantomHans Posted April 10 Posted April 10 Is there an easy way to keep two simultaneous installs of DCS installed and accessible? Hypothetically let's say I want the current version installed just how it is, but when installing a new version I want to put it somewhere else in a different folder so I can start either one.

Czar66 Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Any roadblock you've found from just copying and paste the DCS files to another location? Both will share the same DCS 'saved games' folder, so you'd want to put mods in the root folder only.

Unless, you make a file called dcs_variant.txt in the root install folder. In the file type ie. "test" (without the quotes), and then you will have a DCS.test folder in your Saved Games. Very handy. 1

Saved to my DCS documents. Now I have an idea how my previous 'Open Beta' installation kept linked to that old DCS.OpenBeta folder in 'saved games' in my end, after the fact of the merge between stable and OB. 1

Yes, back in the days when we had an OpenBeta installer, it would add this file with openbeta as the content. 1
