tankaviator Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Hello all, I have had the 64 bit version installed since beta. I recently purchased a 3D setup and thought this would be awesome for this simulator. Unfortunately because of the way they generate 3D data they require a 32 bit version to be installed. Now I know its supposed to be able to install both the 32 and 64 bit versions, but it seems that it uses the version based on the OS type. I can't find a way to override this. I remember in beta days both versions were installed and we got 4 launch icons, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yskonyn Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 As far as I know it installs the 32-bit version always and you have the option to install the 64-bit version to be installed additionally.

cichlidfan Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 As far as I know it installs the 32-bit version always and you have the option to install the 64-bit version to be installed additionally. Actually, there has been no option for the last several patches. The original release did allow you to also install the 32bit version but that went away. I suspect you would need a custom install script to do it as it currently ships.

PeterP Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I have a dual-boot system XP32/win764 and installed DCS in XP- than I copied the x86/bin files over to my win7-64 installation - so I'm able to run 64 and 32bit in win7-64... And I get 3D also only in 32bit with the IZ3D drivers. So if you have a 32bit OS near you - just install (without activation) and move the 32bit files over to your 64bit system.

tankaviator Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hopefully the devs will add the option back in (hint hint devs) now that there is a legitimate reason to install a 32 bit set of bits on a 64 bit system. I'm sure they will, they have offered great support up to this point. :pilotfly: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 2017 Razer Blade w/ GTX1060 Oculus Rift CV1 Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS Saitek Pro Flight Combat Rudder Pedals Buttkicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
