Jonay Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 I've been out of the picture for a while, I purchased BS when it first came out, life got in the way (I picked up A-10C too with a view to coming back to it) and now Im back.. confused to hell. I see that there is a 2nd version of BS out, and now DCS world. I understand that World is the "hub" and all the other games are bolt ons to it that are all compatible with it. How do I get my downloaded copy of BS to work with DCS world, and my steam copy of A-10 to work with World? I've only just downloaded a fresh version of World from Steam, but A10 and BS1 are both old copies - do I need BS2? Does it cost extra? I appreicate that this question has probably been asked a million times, but a lot has changed in the last 3 or so years!
Lizzard Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 as far as I know, you have to purchase at least the BS2 upgrade Pack (Fact: for DCS World you need BS2...BS1 does not work), which adds all the BS2 features to you BS1 Licence, so you have to install BS1, then install DCS World and then install the BS2 upgrade. A few People experienced Problems with that, and they recomended, buying the full BS-2 Version for DCS. I purchased BS2 from scratch..so I´ve never had to went trough this whole upgrade thing..And for the A-10..sorry I don`t play A-10 My Specs: I don`t care..it is a Computer..a black one..
ophiuchus Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 @Jonay, if you have A-10C, just download newest version of the module, and your key will work with it just fine. You don't need to install old one. As for BS, Lizzard cleared it well enough, so I won't be adding anything else ;)
Bucic Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Same here. And I visit the forums frequently. There should be a one-stop place that explains this. It's kind of annoying I have to explain everything to every new guy I recommend DCS to. Especially that I myself am not sure whether I'm correct :) There were Flaming Cliffs and DCS. And recently... Su-25: DCS Flaming Cliffs. WTH?!

Jonay Posted September 14, 2013 Author Posted September 14, 2013 Thank you very much! Pain about having to purchase another version, but hey ho! Do I have to install them anywhere special or does it do it automatically? I'm not sure how this steam and non-steam versions work with each other??
