Ozz13 Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I see a release date of Sept 2012 but see FC 3 as a "prepurchase" on the DCS site. Has it been released? If not..when might it? Thanks
159th_Viper Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 The Open-Beta is available for download. Pre-purchase entitles you to participate in said open-beta.

falcon_120 Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Also if you wait till the final release,this will cost 10$ more IIRC.
Ozz13 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 Ah... thanks much. Off to pre-purchase :D
Ozz13 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 I'm sure it's right under my nose but I cannot find where to download the FC 3 beta. The email that detailed my purchased had a download link but lead to a page that didn't have any DL links. I'm downloading a 218 mb patch that for DC World.. but that's all I can find. Where is this located?
159th_Viper Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I'm downloading a 218 mb patch that for DC World.. but that's all I can find. That is the FC3 module and not a patch. DCS World is the base SIM and all other modules install to DCS World.

Ozz13 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 To clarify, the 218 mb patch which is the module that ties in to DC World is all that is needed? My A10-C folder is over 7 gigs but had a similiar sized module file. I have the prerequisite FC: Modern Combat installed and with the module its less that 1.5 gigs. I was thinking there'd be a bigger file..
159th_Viper Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 My A10-C folder is over 7 gigs but had a similiar sized module file. .. Erm........no. The A-10 module is 332MB. Yes, that is the correct FC3 module. Install it to DCS World :) Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career? Click me to commence your Journey of Pillage and Plunder!

falcon_120 Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Almost everything you need is already installed via DCS World,you just need that 218mb file.
Ozz13 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 What I meant was the module size of 218 MB is similiar to the A10-C module size of 332 MB. Does that mean I can delete my Steam version of A10-C as long as I have DC world installed?
159th_Viper Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Does that mean I can delete my Steam version of A10-C as long as I have DC world installed? Yes, the STEAM version is very outdated.

Ozz13 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 Oh..wow. Cool..thanks for the info. Good stuff!
Ozz13 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 Er..sorry...I have to ask one more question. Is the prerequisite software Lock On: Modern Air Combat still required or has that become redundant with DCS World?
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted February 15, 2013 ED Team Posted February 15, 2013 still needed, but you can uninstall lomac straight away after fc3 is installed Forum rules - DCS Crashing?
