Spudman Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 So after doing a clean install of DCS World 1.2.4, I began re-installing all of the modules, and everything went fine until I got to BS. I've had BS 2 stand alone on my machine for a long time and when DCS W 1.2.3 came out, I installed it as a module and didn't have any problems. Now when I try to install it as a module in 1.2.4, it says that I have to have BS 1 installed. Anyone have any thoughts, or advice on this?
Spudman Posted May 1, 2013 Author Posted May 1, 2013 So I think I have it figured out somewhat; I need to download the BS1 module for 1.2.4. I had the module for 1.2.3, but it wouldn't allow me to install it for obvious reasons. So where do I get the module for 1.2.4?
Spudman Posted May 1, 2013 Author Posted May 1, 2013 Did you try the Module Manager? Yeah, that's where I'm being told that I need to have BS1 installed and activated. In the module manager the DCS BS 2 upgrade 1.2.4 has 'install' by it, not 'buy', so I know that I've already purchased it. I just clicked on the install button on the rest of the modules and they installed just fine
JG14_Smil Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Do you have BS1 installed? pardon if I over-simplify... just trying to help.
Spudman Posted May 2, 2013 Author Posted May 2, 2013 Do you have BS1 installed? pardon if I over-simplify... just trying to help. No, that's what I was saying in my initial post, BS2 trumps BS1. When I installed World 1.2.3 I was able to install BS1; I saw it in my downloads folder, but I don't remember where I got it as a module and that's my only problem is where to get BS1 as a module. I have the original BS1 as a box that I purchased from a store, but it hasn't been on my machine for a very long time. I didn't see BS1 in the module manager, I'm not sure where to go.

Download, install and activate BS1 as the installer said. BS1 download found on the Main site under the Downloads/Previous versions tab. Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career?

Jarhead0331 Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Download, install and activate BS1 as the installer said. BS1 download found on the Main site under the Downloads/Previous versions tab. I've done this and I'm still having the same problem...see below: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=105214
Spudman Posted May 2, 2013 Author Posted May 2, 2013 Download, install and activate BS1 as the installer said. BS1 download found on the Main site under the Downloads/Previous versions tab. The stand alone version? because I haven't seen a BS1 version as a module for DCS World.
Spudman Posted May 2, 2013 Author Posted May 2, 2013 Download, install and activate BS1 as the installer said. BS1 download found on the Main site under the Downloads/Previous versions tab. Well I'm downloading it now; I hope that I can get through the activation okay. I'm guessing I'll use the key from my boxed version, as I never purchased the digital version of BS1
Spudman Posted May 2, 2013 Author Posted May 2, 2013 Okay, so I downloaded BS1 and installed it, made sure it was running and then went back into Module Manager and tried to install the BS2 upgrade module and it still says that I need BS1 installed and activated. Wtf? I'd rather fly fixed wing anyway.

Yellonet Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Try installing BS2 from outside the game (not with the module manager), remember to chose "Upgrade from BS1...". And if you don't really want BS1 you can do this: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1744658&postcount=28 i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5

CptTangerine Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 I downloaded the BS2 module separately and it installed without any problems. That's after I had gone through the uninstall and reg removal process then reinstalled everything.

Slazi Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Did you purchase BS2 standalone or an upgrade from BS1? Make sure you have the right module downloaded.
CptTangerine Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 I purchased the upgrade. It wouldn't work through trying to install as a module through DCS but worked fine when installed on its own.

Slazi Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Sorry, I can't offer much in the way of advise in that case then. Perhaps make sure you can still play BS 1 to check it is still installed and registered correctly?
