DCS 1.2.7 Open Beta - Now Available

[SkateZilla]

I recommend installing all 10 MS VC Redistributables directly from MS links:

 

2005 x86/x64

2008 x86/x64

2010 x86/x64

2012 x86/x64

2013 x86/x64

 

There's a new 2012 x86/x64 build ver 11.0.61030 from November.

DCS only installs the 64-bit one.

You should all update the 32-bit one as well, and check the other installs.

 

 

 

Now just need to get it into the multiplayer.

 

DCS is 64-Bit only now isnt it?

Beat me to it! :)

Will there be new documentation released with v1.2.7?

 

Or will the previous documentation (v1.2.6) still apply for 1.2.7?

[ALDEGA]

DCS 1.2.7 only appears to require the Visual C++ 2012 runtime, hence why it's included with the installer.

You can verify this using utilities such as DependencyWalker.

There's no point in installing other versions, not for DCS.

I believe it was stated one of the modules still used an older runtime.

Is the new key assignment while mission, works in Multiplayer also?

Because i didn't found it, hope it will be on Multiplayer also.

 

Thx

UH1H-Dyn.dll still uses the 2010 runtime.

UH1H-Dyn.dll still uses the 2010 runtime.

 

Great shot! It's a bug.

 

The lib I talked about is libeay32.dll (a part of OpenSSL) - it still requires 2008 runtime. We'll fix this as well in time.

awesome gun smoke now on the A-10C.......love it.

 

Once the bugs are ironed out this is going to be a great update.

 

Thanks a bunch guy's for allowing us to beta test this for you......

Is there a way to access the ingame control assignment in multiplayer?

No, not possible.

No, not possible.

 

Should this be reported as a bug?

No, this is normal.

For the future, can we get a different delivery method other than the web installer.

I get horrible download rates from the update servers (50KB/s or less).

[Call911]

Must say how impressed I'am with 1 click mod manager install, to think a yr or so ago with crap internet an such it would've taken me like 2 days to install everything from DCS world plus the A10 alone! here after installing DCS World now it seems only a few minutes as i said very impressed.:thumbup: In the past it always seemed like ED was 10 yrs or so behind the times in there ways of getting there products out to the public but now it's appears those days are over with this approach!

I agree, I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't have to download the whole thing. However, in the module manager, I can't seem to find an option to say "install all modules I own at the same time", although it did suggest just that the very first time I entered it (with checkboxes). Am I missing something ?

Strange, my download went up to 13 megabytes/second.

 

 

PS: 50 megabytes/second would require an internet connection of at least 400 megabit/sec ...

I was wondering how I can use my 1.2.6 keymap on my second install of the game. I'm thinking of testing Open beta because some servers seems moved there.

Is there some folder I need to drop these files or can I open the file from my other installation? I don't know which files or where, would be awesome to know. :)

[Panthro]

I cant hit esc in multiplayer or bring up chat / loadout radio's work fine

anybody else have this problem with 1.2.7?

Copy and paste the contents of the keyboard folder in your Saved Games DCS/Config/Input/A-10C (or other modules)/ folder into the same folder in Saved Games DCS.openbeta Config folder.
