Bahger Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 I'll say what I'm going to do and maybe other users can comment on or improve this protocol: - D/l DCS A-10 Final Release (English) via torrent - Uninstall Beta via Control Panel/Uninstall (Vista 64x) - Delete all remaining Beta content in Windows, i.e. all user-made missions, control assignments, everything including the installation folder. - Restart PC - Install A-10 - Defrag C: before starting A-10 Maybe the defrag is in the wrong place in the sequence, or the retart, all advice welcome. Also, I'd be interested to know if we still need to go into the text file to change the Force Feedback default setting to "False" in order to get trim to work with a non-FFB HOTAS (CH); I did this in all Betas. Thanks!
EtherealN Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 User-made missions can most likely be kept, and should still work, but there may be minor incompatibilities. Restarting the PC is probably not necessary since there are no drivers or such things involved in the process. You can turn off FFB through the options screen, under MISC.

Bahger Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 Thanks EtherealN. My missions made in B3 failed to work properly in B4 (helos crashing that previously didn't, etc), nobody's fault, that's what happens when you choose to make missions in a WIP program. Correct me if I'm wrong but I assume I'm better off rebuilding these missions now, rather than troubleshoot legacy problems, what do you think?
EtherealN Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 You can try them to see if they work. If they do - no point starting over. If they don't then you may have to redo parts of them.

SmokeyTheLung Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Any reason not to use the uninstaller in the DCS folder? I noticed that it won't clear everything out. Any issues with that? Thanks System specifications: Computer, joystick, DCS world, Beer
Bahger Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 In my experience, any uninstaller might not be programmed to eliminate user-made content, or, for that matter, files and folders that it assumes you'd need for a reinstall so it leaves them there, such as HOTAS assignment files for example, or the installation folder. For this reason, I prefer to follow up either the Windows or DCS uninstall process with a search for remnants that I can then delete.
