Version number for updates?

[stebrock]

Just purchased DVD version of game. How do I determine the "version" to apply the correct updates?

thanks, Rick

Put the DVD in the drawer and save it for your grandchildren. That version is very old and does not work with the current software setup.

 

Download DCS World from here (5 filess)

and download the A-10 module from here (1 file)

 

http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/modules/dcs_a10c_warthog/

 

Put them all in one folder and run the DCS World executable. When it finishes, uncheck the boxes (don't let DCS World run), then run the A-10 executable. This time, when it finishes, let it run DCS World and say yes if it wants to update.

 

You are done.

 

EDIT: Btw, just for informational purposes...assuming the disk is the US English release, it is version 1.1.0.7 and we are at v1.2.6

Note that you do not need to repurchase A-10C.. When asked for the serial number, Just use the serial # included in the software package you bought.

 

Enjoy!
