159th_Viper Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 I would advise that you download and install the latest base version, ie 1.1.1.1. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?scr=product&ProductId=8&end_pos=135&lang=en Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career?

Bee_Sting Posted April 9, 2012 Author Posted April 9, 2012 do i click on any of the download files? i see exe files and others.
159th_Viper Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 You need to download 4 files, ie the .exe file and the 3 .BIN files. Thereafter drop all 4 files into a folder and run the .exe file to install.

Conure Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 It can be easier if you just download the torrent: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/torrents/DCS_A-10C_EN.torrent Click that, it'll potentially also be faster.

mancrow Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 :smilewink:Hi Bee_Sting, I bought the PC DVD rom version at Best Buy. I found out what version it was by kinda following the " touble shooting wiki " inside User support - bottom of column left side - of the DCS web site. I say kinda because it instructs that the version number is displayed in Mission Editor > menu Help > About Game. On my game it is found in game under Mission Editor>menu along top of window>Misc>Credits. The store bought game is patched to Version 1.1.0.9. Great!! I used a torrent client I downloaded and started torrent download of Version 1.1.1.1 and went to bed. next day I followed instructions for Install here http://support.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/ look for instalation instructions under FAQ's and guides and substitute A-10 for Black Shark 2 any help needed message me. I am knew at this myself chow
badger66 Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Buy the box version ..... put it away . The only thing you need from the box is the activation key number . Download the 1.1.1.1 from the site mentioned , and follow the instructions as mentioned above , namely , download all 4 patchs into 1 folder ..... run exe and enter your box key and bobs your uncle . forget about patching up your hard copy , just download the whole thing . No issues .
mancrow Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 no issues I agree pretty much says it all for any patch issues:smartass:
