Bee_Sting Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 i have black shark 1 on dvd dic and what to update it with the download patch. how would i do this? i looked at the instructions but they don't make any sense to me!:helpsmilie:
BigfootMSR Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) As far as black shark 2 being a patch, its not. Its an upgrade that you have to purchase. You have two options, you can either purchase the Black Shark standalone version, or you can buy black shark 2 upgrade. The upgrade needs to have black shark 1 installed on your machine prior to installation. When you go to the downloads page, you must download all of the files, there are typically about 4 of them. Once they are downloaded, you need to put all of the files into a folder before running the .exe file. Something to keep in mind, DCS is releasing a new program called DCS world which is free. Currently, only the standalone version works in it. You can find DCS world under the P-51 module. Download all of the files that say "world." You do not need to download the p51 module. Then, you only need to install the Black Shark standalone specific module which is typically only about 200 megs. I will leave it at that so its not any more confusing. Any more questions, ask away.

Bee_Sting Posted June 1, 2012 Author Posted June 1, 2012 where do i put these files in BS1(any file)?
PeterP Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Download/leave them all in one folder and just install! (when you download the DCS:World BS2 - install first DCS:World than BS2) -when you are done you can uninstall BS1. as BS2 is a complete new install. Just stop thinking about BS2 as addon - handle it like a complete new program at your system. And make sure you also visit this link when done: DCS: Blackshark 2 interactive training missions http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=84612 Edited June 1, 2012 by PeterP
Bee_Sting Posted June 1, 2012 Author Posted June 1, 2012 there are 4 download files to bs2 get all 4 and put the in an exe file anywhere in bs1 in the same file?
Nate--IRL-- Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Ignore BS1 - BS2 is completely separate. Which BS2 did you buy? Upgrade or Full? Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading
Bee_Sting Posted June 1, 2012 Author Posted June 1, 2012 i have BS1 so all i need is BS2 standalone. i'm guess that bc2 will dectect bs1 and install itself over bs1(upgrade)
PeterP Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 example: you downloaded BS2 info your "downlod" folder. If done - just hit the exe of this 4 files. thats all.
Nate--IRL-- Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 i have BS1 so all i need is BS2 standalone. i'm guess that bc2 will dectect bs1 and install itself over bs1(upgrade) If you have BS1 installed - you just need the Upgrade version of BS2 - BS2 (upgrade) will detect your installed BS1 when installing. BS2 does NOT install over BS1 - it is separate - it just checks that BS1 is there for the Upgrade version licence. If you get the BS2 full version you can ignore BS1 completely.

PeterP Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) No! it has 4 files! If you want to upgrade frpm BS 1.0 to BS2 1.1.1.1 You will have to download this: BS2 1.1.1.1 standalone installer Software Download Instructions Installation Instructions Activation Instructions An important notice on Black Shark 2 patch 1.1.1.1 installation. There are 4 different installers: For owners of BS2 standalone version: – BS2 1.1.1.1 standalone installer – BS2 1.1.1.0 to BS2 1.1.1.1 patch For owners of BS2 upgrade version: – BS1 1.0 to BS2 1.1.1.1 upgrade – BS2 1.1.1.0 to BS2 1.1.1.1 patchAnd when you want to try the Beta 1.1.2.1 for DCS world you have to go to this same page at the bottom. But you must install DCS:World beforhand (included in the P-51D download) Please read the red letters. Edited June 1, 2012 by PeterP
