FC3 from ED store won't install to Steam DCS World

[key_stroked]

I have DCS World on Steam.

I installed the original LOMAC to it's own folder on my main drive.

I bought FC3 during the sale and tried to install it.

 

When it asks me where to install it to, the path is blank and when I choose the path:

 

C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld

 

I get the error message:

 

"DCS World 1.2.6.17746 must be installed."

 

It IS installed. I double checked that version in the lower right corner of the DCS World main splash screen.

I then read about a mod manager, but I don't have that link in my DCS World main menu, and after reading some more it seems the Steam version of DCS World doesn't have the mod manager?

 

So how do I get FC3 installed into my Steam version of DCS World?

I'm out of options.

it's looking for the standalone version of DCS... i suggest you install that and forget about the stupid steam version... and no the steam version doesn't have the module manager...

 

if you log into http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/ using the id/pass u use to play dcs multiplayer, u can get all ur cd keys and transfer them to the standalone

So what about the DCS A10C Steam version I purchased?

Can I use that with the standalone version of DCS World?

Yes, I don't have the steam version of the A-10C, but it should be something like this:

 

Steam

Library

DCS World

CD Key

DCS: A-10C Warthog

Copy key to clipboard

 

Then paste to activate A-10C when you try to start a mission with it installed on the ED shop version.
