Mi-8 and 1.2.6

[Grey_Spike_66]

Hello gents, I just purchased the new Mi-8 but when I try to install it says needs 1.2.6 but I can't get that update to work. Get nothing after update installs clean. DCS won't initialize. Tried running straight from launcher, same thing happens. I am sorry if there is a post somewhere on this forum I just can't seem to find it. Any help??:cry:

If I well understood your question: You need to download and install DCS World prior to install the Mi-8 Module.

 

You can download DCS World here: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/dcs_world/

 

If you already have DCS World installed, just launch the sim, it should auto update to Ver.1.2.6.

 

When installed, run the Mi-8 installer. After the installation, launch DCS World, select a mission. Just before the launch of the mission, the sim will ask you your licence key.

Sir I have dcs world installed tried to install the 1.2.6 update but when the update is finished with out problems, I try to run dcs and nothing happens. I tried from launcher.exe and the same thing. Is it possible to run the update (1.2.6) then install the Mi-8 then revert back to 1.2.5?

Sorry, beyond my low knowledge.

But surely someone else could help you. Anyway, can you post your system config?

(CPU, GPU, OS (windows version - 32/64 bit), RAM amount)

And if you have one, post your DCS.log from username/savedgames/DCS/Logs. Maybe there could be found some more details...

Any *.CRASH files in your "DCS\Logs" folder.

Any ERROR* files you find in the "DCS\Logs" folder.

Thanks gentlemen, from a post found on one of the threads, "repair" worked great all up and working.
