muzzy11 Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Hello, Yesterday a bought dcs a10. I downloaded it via origin and installed all. I thought i had bought just the a10 sim, but dcs world came with it. surprice. In the sim main screen i see the a10 and su25 ikons as usable, the others i do not have and therefore are not usable. Also i find that i have dcsw version 1.2.0. dont know about the a10 version. On the DCS website i find that there are updates for both dcs world and a10. And now i wonder how to installe them. i tried downloading and installing the dcs world update 1.2.2.7570. Got the message that there already was a version of dcsworld installed wich i should remover before continuing.( might be bad englisch):dunno:. dont know what happens when i do that, can i use the key that came with the original download?? Well does anyone know how i can get the latest version, schould i also update the a10 version ore is this done by updating dcsw. thx Muzzy11
sobek Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Please download the newest versions of DCS World and A-10 from http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/. You can use these with the key you bought from origin. All versions post 1.2.1 contain an autoupdater, so you don't have to go through this dance any more. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two.

Madone Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Hi, You have to download the 1.2.2 version of DCS World and your module on the ED website (there you go), the auto updater has been implemented with the 1.2.1 version, so you have to unistall the 1.2.0 version and then install the latest one. Once it's done, the auto updater will update automatically the files without deleting your profile as before. Useful tip : Install DCS World first and then run your module executable:smilewink: Of course, your product key will work fine, plus you will not have to install/launch it via Origin. Saving also some ressources when playing. (actually I don't remember if Origin stay in the background like Steam) Anyway. Conclusion : I blame Origin for giving you the 1.2.0 version... You have to do the reinstall dance with the whole DCS files in the 1.2.2 version :/ Welcome to that great sim and have fun!!:thumbup: Strike Posture Set CAS Center of Excellence Intel Core i5 4690k @4,6Ghz, Gigabyte GTX 970 OC, Gigabyte Z97-X, 16GB G Skill Sniper @2400, Samsung 860/850 EVO , Win 10 64 bits, Dual monitors 27"@144"Opentrack + TM Warthog + Saitek pro flight combat

muzzy11 Posted December 30, 2012 Author Posted December 30, 2012 i am a happy man, thx guys. I used to play falcon a lot, nice sim, but the graphics,mmm not realy exiting althoug the last israeli theatre was nice. The level of realism is best ever, especialy in multyplayer where you can go as far as your inmagination permits. must say i never was a fan of locon, but with tis a10 sim it seams to be possible to have both, great graphics and a good level of realism. Saw some vid's on youtube thrust in wingman ralfidude eg. thats some nice mp flying. well that is for te future, hopefully the near future, first i have to find out how to get my old (f16) cougar o work. allthe primary axis work and some buttons, looking for a good stick file. thx muzzy11

You seem to like the difficult gameplays, you knockned at the right door. I've been playing 3 or 4 times with Ralfidude and its mate Linebacker, two great guys having a huge passion about flying, they were doing some trainings at 6:00PM USA Eastern time, sign up on their forum, you will get some informations.
