hosting question

[blackturbo]

Hi all, I had a quick question about running servers. can i download the core DCS program , and host a map with all the modules, without activating them on the host computer?

 

Like for instance, I would play from another computer with all the modules activated, but none of the modules would be activated on the host, the purpose would just be using that machine as the host. thank you

Yes, that should work, no need to activate any modules on the host, as long as you don't play as a client from the host computer

All of the modules come with the base DCS: World game, that is to say all of the plane models exist in the game whether you own the modules or not. The modules themselves mostly consist of the flight models for the planes as well as sound effects, interior cockpit assets and single player missions. So in theory all you need to host a server is the base DCS: World game. You could host any mission you wanted on the server, but you'd only be able to fly planes that you had activated on your client computer.

 

Anyone else could, of course, fly in any of the other modules in a hosted mission that they had activated on their computers.
