grandkodiak Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Hey, just got back into DCS this morning and was reading about DCS World. Looks like they are finally getting on track with merging all thier software like they said they wanted to back in the day! Anywho, I had FC2 and A10C already installed on my computer, have been there for months, just havent used em. I just booted A10C back up this morning for a few training runs as refreshers. (I also have the first blackshark which is not installed currently, because I was loosing hair over the f**king trim system and gave up on it.) I was wondering, do I just download and install DCS World and it recognizes the existing installs like steam, or do i have to uninstall, install DCS World, and install each one again? I only ask because I have alot of custom key mappings and graphic settings are finally where I like, wondering if I should save the configs before installing World. Thanks all!
cichlidfan Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 DCS World installs in its own space. It will not touch your existing A-10 install. However, importing your keymap is not going to work correctly unless you are very careful about it (editting lua files to make them compatible). You will still need to install the compatible version v1.2.0... of A-10 but it will recognize your existing key.

grandkodiak Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 Alright I saw thier faq on the website, never noticed it before. ill try in a few days, im still mastering a few a10 systems then i think im game! will just copy/pasting the control config files not work, or atleast save a certain percentage of keys? i have a great x45 profile right now
joey45 Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Best start from fresh. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

grandkodiak Posted August 7, 2012 Author Posted August 7, 2012 I got around to installing DCS World today, but it didn't pick up any of my games? The icons all have money icons on them, and bring me to a hyperlink to the store. I already own everyhting but BS2, Combined arms and Mustang... which I don't want. I don't see any option in World to find the game installs? Is this not like the Steam program I presume? I tried running World with each retail DVD in the tray, but that doesnt do anything either. What am I missing?
cichlidfan Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) What am I missing? You are missing the compatible version of A-10. The old software is not going to do anything in world. FC2 is not compatible with world and FC3 is a future product. Go here and download the modules that you own and install them. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?end_pos=136&scr=products&lang=en EDIT: Post 2 above already covered this, btw.
