Phasing out BlackShark Upgrade in DCS World

[Terminal Meltdown]

Eagle Dynamics should phase the BS2 upgrade out. It's one hell of an annoyance to put up with multiple activations and extras installs that ends up wasting an additional 12 hours of time through trial and error fumbling through the activation phase.

 

DCS modules need to be streamlined for simplicity and not a pain in the ass to install. It ticks me off knowing that I own BS1 -- which is established already -- that I have to install an older game just to be able to play BS2? That's just not right.

 

Essentially the BS2 upgrade is the same damn thing as the FULL BS2 version. Why ED is punishing us for life with this upgrade scheme is beyond me. Phase it out...

 

Who agrees?

Totally agree. I can understand back when it came out but now it doesn't seem like its worth keeping anymore.

Makes no difference to me, but if it has caused you so much grief I will vote yes. At the same time, there might be a hardcore shark fan going hard on BS1 on windows 95 without internet. When he learns about the phasing out of the upgrade, he will find you.

OK, why not make BS just one game, those with BS1, BS2 or whatever, all get a BS pass key and you keep the one sim.

 

Simples no?

 

Those who bought both, well give them a credit.

What the hell are you on about?

 

They give you option to buy BS 2 cheaper, they are not pushing you to do anything.

 

Buy the full BS2 like I did if you feel the upgrade stuff to be annoying, a grade schooler could figure this stuff out.

You're missing a "don't care" option.

Now that my gaming rig operates on SSD only... I would like to waste as little space as possible. However my DCS BS 1 occupies something as 100MB, iirc, after peeling off unnecessary things besides those for licensing BS2U.

[karambiatos]

you dont need BS1 and BS2 installed on the same disk, at least i dont have them.

Poll settings are biased towards one goal and therefor useless.

 

Its not that big of a deal to install BS1 so you can install BS2

 

As said previously, its NOT required to install it on the same disk.
