Thot Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Hi, I just have a question about the upgrade version of BS2 from BS1. I saw on the e-shop that the english version was in 1.2.0. I suppose it is the DCS World version. But is it possible to play with a 1.1.1.1 version of BS2 with the 1.2.0 key bought on the site ?

MaverickF22 Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) What a hell is this? Hi, I've just bought BS2 1.2.0 from E-shop, which is the module for DCS World that took me 40 bucks! I've said: "OK, no problem"..., but hey..., when i want to install it, it asks for the installation and activation of BS1! Are you ****ing kidding me? So now this makes 50 dollars instead of 40 or even 30 as i can see here, so i pay 20 bucks for nothing?:huh: The BS2 seems to be the most controversial product i've seen here..., so watch this again: DCS: Black Shark 2 Upgrade 1.2.0 (English download version) = 20 dollars...! Marked in red: The "DCS: Black Shark 2" upgrade requires "DCS: Black Shark"!, which costs 10 dollars, so 20+10=30:P and i should be able to play the lastest version of BS2 on DCS World, if i'm correct! So i thought..., what a heck..., i buy the next one...:DCS: Black Shark 2 1.2.0 (English download version), which seems complete and has nothing written in red, so by the logic..., it won't need anything else installed before it for this kind of money, even if it takes 10 more dollars for nothing (20+10 no longer does 30, but 40)! And now i'm thinking that i'm in the position where i've paid more and had less...!:doh: Tell me what should i do now...!:joystick: I will pay the damn BS1 also, if you tell me that, that's what i have to do..., but your reputation might be at risk, for not telling the people everything and what are they spending their money on...! So you should, eighter clarify the things better for what all the things do or not do..., or leave only one way of acquiring, activating and playing the last version of Black Shark, not so many..., which lead to a lot of ambiguity! Thank you, i'm waiting for a reply...!:music_whistling: Edited September 30, 2012 by MaverickF22 Mistakes, obviously, show us what needs improving.

cichlidfan Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 It sounds like you bought the full ($40) version but downloaded the upgrade version. The top one is the upgrade (what you downloaded) the one below is the full version (the one you bought).

MaverickF22 Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) Sorry for my delay to reply back...! Ok, i understand, but what's the difference then between full version 2 1.2.0(40$) and the Black Shark 2 Upgrade 1.2.0 module (20$) which needs the installation and activation of BS1 (10$) from where i can play the last version on DCS World, if i'm not wrong, or there might still be something that i'm not getting!

Either version works with DCS World. The difference is that one requires BS1 to be installed at activation time while the other does not. Basically, the people that owned BS1 could save $20 on BS2 but they would have to have their BS1 installed. When the prices were set, BS1 was more than $10. Aside from that, there is no difference.

MaverickF22 Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) Ok, i've got it now, i've only downloaded the wrong stuff..., the version that i've bought is already the latest one and won't require anything else, so as i'm downloading it now..., i will only install it on a different folder (probably) than DCS World's folder where i already have the A-10C installed, with no need for the BS1 installation/activation, and DCS World should recognize it automatically when i launch it (even if they will be in different folders), so i hope it works! Thank you for your time and patience..., and sorry for being such a noob on not looking very careful, so it's my fault for all that i've said...! Cheers!

Install it where it wants to go, which will be inside DCS World. I don't know for sure but it might not even work correctly if it is not in the expected location.
