very awesome to see the implementation in steam. It really helps increasing the amount of exposures, really a good move from ED.

 

I got one question though, I believe that any mods will get "broken" on every few updates, maybe not since I don't remember it happening with my current DCS World installation, however if it can happen, would it be possible to have perhaps a "Mod" folder within the main directory or maybe some kind of mod manager to make sure that the modifications does not get removed?

 

Somethings cool is that now it is will be much easier to fix a build if a mod somehow damaged the installation :P

Also BS2 upgrade wasn't supported at first when world was released...

 

So I hope the BS2U will work after the teething period.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

For those interested in such things...

 

As of today's update Steam now shows F2P games in your library if you own any DLC for that game. So now DCS World will show in your library even if it is not installed.

The Huey hcan be activated in Steam, but I can't use my old serial from digitalcombatsimulator.com. Any word on that?

 

There was a key issue with the first batch of Steam releases as well. Apparently, this is a more difficult feat to accomplish than one would think. ;)

The Huey cannot be activated in Steam. You can purchase it there, but its not on DCS when you start it up. So you can pay but not play :doh:

use this life will be much easier, also if a mod damages the installation just do a DCS repair and itll replace the modified files

A 1000 flights, a 1000 crashes, perfect record.

Now the Black Shark 2 Upgrade issue, THAT is quite annoying and I think they handled that terribly. Why we can't surrender our BS1 + BS2 uprade keys for a BS2 Full key is beyond me.

 

It's not only a steam problem. It' really a pain in the ass with this update. I just set up a new system a few months ago. You have to install BS1 in order to play BS2 every time and you don't really need BS1 anymore. Why isn't there a possibility to switch the keys for BS1 + update with a new BS2 key?

This has been said so many times by so many people without ever getting a response from ED. The logic is beyond me. But there must be some reason.. its surely extra admin for ED as it currently stands.

 

It sometimes seems the older and more loyal a customer you are the more you get a raw deal.

 

 

How is that a raw deal? Because you have to install Black Shark 1? Being dramatic are we?

It would be much more comfortable, it takes a lot of time to install Black Shar 1 and it takes hard disk space. It's just annoying to install a game which you are not going to play. It can't be that hard to support us with new keys.

 

And, of course, we can't play BS2 on steam...:cry:

I bought the update back then as well, I understand its an update which means it means it requires something or else it would be a full version. When I reinstall everything, and I have to install BS1 I only get mad at myself for not buying the full version ;)

 

As for disk space? Well... if BS1 is causing you problems with diskspace you probably need to consider an update because its like a flea spec on my 2 TBs :)

Thank you for sparing me your education ;)

 

No not being dramatic. Are you trying twist my words? It has nothing to do with having to install BS1 1st, that does not bother me.

 

As you are quite new sithspawn maybe you don't know the background. I'm not interested educating you.

not to sound Pessimistic,

Installing BS1 takes a few minutes.

After BS2U is installed you can remove BS1 (?)

 

 

TBH,

When's the last time we saw changes in the Changelog for BS2?, (other than the 1.2.6, knee board command adjustments)

 

Unless there's mini updates that adjust it for every patch.

 

Install BS2 Upgrade to Standalone DCSW,

Activate it,

Copy the BS2 Folder to the Steam /mods/aircrafts/ Folder,

Delete DCSW Standalone Folder. (Dont uninstall, as it *may* de-activate the module)

 

Play BS2 in DCSW on Steam

 

Shrug,

If there needs to be updates to the files, Hopefully Steam, see's the files and updates them automatically,

without BS-2 being in your list of purchased DLC.

 

If not, there are "ways" to update KA-50 by itself using included files in the /bin/ folder. without touching any other DCSW Files.
