Can't install FC3 in to DCS World?

[CoBlue]

Hi

Purchased FC3 today...but can't install it into dcs world.

Made a screen shot of what the installer says, see attachment.

Any ideas?

You'll have to downgrade your DCS World to be able to install.

After module is installed, you'll then upgrade again (the whole DCS+modules), and you'll be good to go.

 

Six simple steps to do that. Ready? Follow me :)

 

1/ Locate your start menu "Update DCS World" shortcut, and make a copy of it.

 

2/ Edit the copy (right click->properties):

Locate the "target" value in the "shortcut" tab. and add the desired version number as shown below.

For example, assuming your DCS World is installed in your D:\Games, your shortcut target will read like this:

"D:\Games\DCS World\bin\DCS_updater.exe" update

Juste add [space][:] then the version number like this:

"D:\Games\DCS World\bin\DCS_updater.exe" update :1.2.4.12179

 

3/ Click [OK] to save your edited shortcut. Then execute it: The auto-updater will downgrade to 1.2.4.12179

 

4/ Once done, install your FC3 module.

 

5/ Throw away your modified shortcut.

 

6/ Execute your un-modified "Update DCS World": The auto-updater will re-upgrade to 1.2.4.12547 (including FC3).

Thanx for the answer:)

I got it sorted out...went in DCS World(game) saw a "module" tab to the right, in there was an FC3 tab, I pressed something & it all installed automatically....was actually surprised when I saw FC3 was unlocked....:)

OK.

I forgot the (new) module manager. You were right, that's easier like you did.
