Dudester22 Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 I'm a bit confused about this so can someone please explain. I was wondering if I buy the standalone A10C 1.1.1.1.1, will this also activate A10C in DCS world? Someone said it would, but if that's the case what happens if I just buy the key in DCS world first? Would I then be able to download the stand alone form somewhere or would I have to pay for a disk or something? I'm totally confused here :helpsmilie:
Silver_Dragon Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 You only need download DCS:W, install them, download A-10C module and install them (or use module manager into DCS:W). Only need enter your key and work perfect.

112th_Rossi Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Yes, the key you have now will work with the module downloaded from the Eagle store. So 1. Download DCS: World and install it 2. Download the DCS: A10C Module and install it Run DCS World and start a A10C mission, you will then be asked for a key. Enter the key you received when you bought the standalone version and it will activate.
Dudester22 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) I think you misunderstood what I meant. I know there to be two versions of A10C. The standalone version and the DSC world version. I would like both versions, but I'm not sure if I will have to pay twice? Please refer back to my original post and you will see what I mean by this. Where would I get the standalone version from if I purchase the DCS world module first? Could I download it from somewhere and then have both versions and not have to pay twice? Thankyou!!

I actually have both versions installed on my machine (activated once), as standalone version somehow works much faster on my machine, when I want to export MFCDs on second screen.
Hamblue Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Basically they are the same. Think of World as DCS A-10C with the Map Only, because that's what it is. Now the map is free and you buy the aircraft that go in it. If you only have the A-10C module the result is an updated version of the original game. Same with the KA-50. The big difference is that if you own multiple aircraft you don't have to install the entire game each time, and the developers don't have to update each title as well. The model is the same as the FS series and Xplane. Asus Sabertooth P67 Motherboard 2600k CPU, 16 gig DDR3, 1600. Samsung 830, 256 gig hard drive, GTX780 Video Card, Warthog Hotas, Razer Mamba mouse.

Darkwolf187 Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 I don't quite understand why you would want the "standalone" A-10C. It's not being updated any more, and there's no functionality you get from it that you won't have in World with the A-10C module. They can both be played single-player off-network.

I have much better FPS in standalone version. About 35-40 on average in standalone compare to 20-25 in World version with similar settings. Edited May 24, 2013 by Mnemonic

But you have no bug fixes (TGP for example), additional triggers and functions for the Mission Editor, no new Smoke effects, no additional improved models for AI planes, maybe no way to get new theaters later and when considering multiplayer you have no working JTAC missing lots of fun with CA and, well it's not that many servers running 1.1.1.1.:music_whistling: Shagrat - Flying Sims since 1984 - Win 10 | i5 10600K@4.1GHz | 64GB | GeForce RTX 3090 - Asus VG34VQL1B | TrackIR5 | Simshaker & Jetseat | VPForce Rhino Base & VIRPIL T50 CM2 Stick on 200mm curved extension | VIRPIL T50 CM2 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Plus/Apache64 Grip | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | WW Top Gun MIP | a hand made AHCP | 2x Elgato StreamDeck (Buttons galore)

It makes me sad that visually they almost identical, yet World is so worse performance wise.
