Itkovian Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Salutations, I've been getting the Blackshark itch again, after many months of hiatus (could be more than a year, in fact), and I was looking around these forums for updates when I realized that the new patches are using some sort of autoupdater, and I don't think I have that in my version. Specifically, I'm currently running DCS World 1.2, alongside A-10C and Black Shark 2. From what I gather I might need to do a full reinstall to get the auto updater, is that correct? If so, what's the procedure again for me not to lose my licenses? I bought the BS2 upgrade, so I'm wondering if I can safely uninstall my products without running into trouble. Thank you. Itkovian
Itkovian Posted October 10, 2013 Author Posted October 10, 2013 Download latest and greatest version here: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/dcs_world/ Uninstall DCS Wolrd 1.2 Re-install new versions of DCS World followed by A10c & Ka50 modules. You wont loose any activations as your keys are stored in the registry and it wont detect any hardware changes. Just don't do any registry clean etc between install. You can deactivate first but i am 99.9% sure you don't need to. I certainly have never needed to when doing a simple reinstall. Interesting, so if I uninstall DCS World 1.2 it will uninstall the A10C and KA50 modules (and combined arms, in fact)? Thank you for the help. :)
Dr_Watson Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Similar question here. I have DCS World 1.2.0.3205. Modules A10C, KA50/2, SU25T. So I need to unistall DCS world, then download the 5 main files, install then install those 3 modules again. If so, how can I keep my controls setup, it takes me forever to map all the controls again!

I would, however, recommend renaming that folder since there have been many changes since your existing version.

Dr_Watson Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Ok, will do. So the procedure I described for the update is correct?
