Darkwolf Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Dear ED staff, I was wondering how the OPEN BETA would be implemented. Will it be possible to get two DCS install on the same computer ? One open beta and one regular version ? My point is : i'm interrested in the open beta to have access in the latest things, and eventually help tracking down those pesky bugs - In the meantime, i'd like to keep a stable version for when i play with my buddies. Will that be possible ? :detective: Thank you for your dedication and work for that beautiful simulator, Best Regards, Wolf. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] PC simulator news site.

Eddie Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Copy, paste. Don't really need a sticky tutorial for that. ;) Or at least I hope not.

sobek Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Are there any patch notes for the beta? It's too early to think about compiling patchnotes, i guess. Always in motion the feature list is. ;) Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
cichlidfan Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 There's a beta on Steam, right? No. None of the DCS products are currently in Beta on Steam.

sobek Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) There's a beta on Steam, right? Certainly not of 1.2.6 and therefore not of the new open beta system previously announced. No. None of the DCS products are currently in Beta. The Huey still is, if i'm not mistaken? Edited August 23, 2013 by sobek Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa!

remon Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Well, my steam version says 1.2.6.17037, so, there is a beta on steam or something else is happening. I opted in beta btw, it's not by accident.
cichlidfan Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 The Huey still is, if i'm not msitaken? I mean't Eagle Dynamics products.

71st_Mastiff Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) Are you guys talking about the upcoming Mi-8 beta? no the DCS World beta 1.2.6 and I can confirm that the beta is available under the beta tab on Steams properties right click DCS World beta tab Warning the only aircraft available for that is the SU25T, there is an ICON for the SU25A that's all I see. also the module gui is gone too. So I'm unable to get my other reg keys added in there. if you opt out of beta it reverts back to 1.2.5.16508 and still no modul GUI available? I have Multiple installs, and it also appears as though they all use your "C:\Users\*N*\Saved Games\DCS" for the inputs and settings.

NRG-Vampire Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 what ? :argue: does ED already offered beta 1.2.6.17037 on steam but we can get 1.2.5.16508 "only" ? :huh: :(
Nate--IRL-- Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 I have Multiple installs, and it also appears as though they all use your "C:\Users\*N*\Saved Games\DCS" for the inputs and settings. This can be changed also - so it uses different settings for each version if you wish. The command is something like start bin\x86_64\launcher.exe -w "DCS Test" This will use "C:\Users\*N*\Saved Games\DCS Test" for settings.

NRG-Vampire Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Someone should post a screen shot of it showing on steam. yeah ^ Remon ? Mastiff ? would you mind showing us ? so how can we participate in beta testing ? how can we download or update to 1.2.6.17037 version ? is it only for steam community - so with my steam account can i join ? TY
secret1962 Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 This... I thought it was clear enough. It'll get fixed in a matter of time anyway so, where's the point ? I don't think it's even complete (probably modules won't even work ?).

If so that's weird, because all the modules I had installed are availiable in the "beta". And I flew the mustang yesterday. Edited August 24, 2013 by remon
