racketyjack Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Hi, I was interested in getting lockon and FC2 when I found out about DCS world. Ive already installed it and really like the terrain and the SU-25T; thanks ED for the free bird! However, I havent received my copy of lockon yet via mail and havent purchased the FC2 addon yet; will this payday. My question is this...should I un-install DCS world, then install lockon, FC2, then DCS world? Or can I just install lockon, then later FC2 into DCS world and NOT un-install DCS world first? Thank you for your time answering this noob question Im sure, lol. PS. Sure hope to see some more WW2 content in this sim. Sure hope every addon isnt $40, thats gonna be pricey in no time at all. :pilotfly:
159th_Viper Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Welcome to the Forums :) DCS World is the core SIM to which modules are added. FC1 and FC2 are independent, standalone SIMS that have nothing whatsoever to do with DCS World. The FC module that will be installed to DCS World is FC3 which is currently under development. At release, FC3 will then be installed to DCS World. As such you will have two independent installs at present, ie DCS World and FC2, should you still wish to purchase FC2. One has nothing to do with the other. Alternatively you can wait for the FC3 release. Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career? Click me to commence your Journey of Pillage and Plunder!

racketyjack Posted August 27, 2012 Author Posted August 27, 2012 WOW! You guys are fast! And ED devs and moderators too! I feel special, lol. My poor attempt at humor aside, thank you very much for the replies gentlemen. Looks like I will wait then for the FC3 release. So I take it Lockon wont be a part of FC3, and by extension, DCS? I understand lockon is just needed for the install of FC3, correct?

Correct. Think of it as an 'install-check' of sorts. If FC2 is anything to go by, you can even uninstall LockOn after the first check - does not need to remain on your machine if space is an issue.

joey45 Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 You will need Lockon installed in order to install FC1/2/3. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

racketyjack Posted August 27, 2012 Author Posted August 27, 2012 Thank you viper and joey, the light has finally come on, lol. One more question if I may then Im off to work...is there a manual for DCS world or the SU-25T? Ive been watching the videos on the plane but it would be nice to have something I can refer to in flight or read at work. (I dont work ALL the time at work you know...;) )
