exe files

[Merijn]

Hi guys,

 

Having a problem here :-)

 

I removed the icons of DCS A10 from my taskbar. Now i was looking for the exe files to startup the game (single- and multiplayer) in the folders.

But i don't seem to find them :cry:

 

Anyone who can give me the location please.

 

Thx in advance !

 

Merijn.

C:\(Program files)\Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C\bin\x86\dcs.exe or X64\bin\dcs.exe

Probeer - essaye...

Found this one already, but it ain't working...

 

C:\(Program files)\Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C\bin\dcs.exe

That is because they need to be run in a directory other than where they are located - that is why the shortcuts exist. ;)

 

Example shortcut from my machine:

Target: "C:\Games\DCS A-10C Warthog\bin\Launcher.exe"

Start In: "C:\Games\DCS A-10C Warthog"

 

This can be a desktop shortcut, or a shortcut placed wherever you prefer in your start menu.

 

The start in location is required to ensure that the executables can properly browse the directory tree to find all relevant game assets and configuration files.

you will be able to run the SP mode directly by executing the dcs.exe but you won't be able to start the MP mode. For MP you will be have to make the shortcut of simulator.exe on the desktop then got to its properties then

 

For Ka-50 1.0.2 target line looks like this ["x:\Ka-50\bin\x86\stable\simulator.exe" --net gui]

And start in looks like this ["x:\Ka-50"]

 

Note: Though its not BS2 but should work the same way.

Hmm, still nothing. Any way to create the desktop icons again ? :book:

[EtherealN]

Yes Merijn, create a new shortcut as per the normal method (right-click), link the two relevant files to a shortcut each (launcher.exe and dcs.exe), and then ensure their "start in" location is as indicated in my post.

[Merijn]

How should i do that ?

 

"link the two relevant files to a shortcut each (launcher.exe and dcs.exe)"

 

Thanks for the help !

Right click on desktop, new->create shortcut and enter the path to the directory.

 

Example single player:

"E:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C\bin\Launcher.exe"

 

Multiplayer:

"E:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C\bin\DCS.exe" --net-mode gui

See the attached picture for detailed walkthrough. :)

Though yes, I should have selected Launcher.exe for that - doing this on DCS.exe is not good enough. (Can't be arsed to re-do the picture again for that though)... And for direct multiplayer link, as Irregular Programming.

 

 

So in my case Singleplayer link would be:

Target: "C:\Games\DCS A-10C Warthog\bin\Launcher.exe"

Start in: "C:\Games\DCS A-10C Warthog"

 

For multiplayer:

Target: "C:\Games\DCS A-10C Warthog\bin\DCS.exe" --net-mode gui

Start in: "C:\Games\DCS A-10C Warthog"

Thanks.

 

I knew how to create a shortcut. But I thought I had to link 2 files in 1 shortcut :)

 

Anyway, it works again. Just assigned a different map to start in.

 

Thanks for the help !!

 

Grtz

Merijn.
