DCS world and FC3 how please?

[rss0900]

I was excited about FC3 but after spending all day having to re-download a non-steam version and trying to get this installed I'm ready to call it quits. I hope someone can help.

 

So I installed a non-steam version of DCS world and installed all my addons including FC3, it runs fine at the 1.2.6xxx version. Can't get the 1.2.7 to work right, it installs and when starting dcs world it's version 1.2.7 but I have no addons, if I try to install them in to the dcs world openbeta directory it tells me it must be version 1.2.6. I started with 1.2.6 and all the addons and it worked, when installing 1.2.7 it makes me install to a new directory.

 

How do you install 1.2.7 and get all your addons / additional modules to work? Thanks

 

edit and if I go in to module manager in 1.2.7 only ai ww2 and frogfoot are installed. on the 2nd tab labeled available addons it's just blank but I own the heuy, mi-8, a-10c, and fc3 now.

Bind your FC3 Serial to your DCS Account, then log into Module Manager Again

1. Ask you for your login name at http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com

2. Log in to http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com website as himself

3. Click the "Personal" link on the left side.

4. Click the "Licensing" link under that.

5. Paste in the DCS: Mi-8MTV-2 license that he purchased and gave to you.

6. When the license details come up, he should enter your login name in the "Bind to another user with login:" box and click the "Bind" button.

7. Done, when you log in, you will see that the serial number is assigned to you and it will show up in the module manager to download.

I don't fully understand your answer but thank you for it. My user account name has not changed so I don't understand why I would bind to another user.

 

I got the above issue fixed by clicking on the refresh button once in the module manager it then has all the available modules to install on the available modules tab except the Huey since I bought it through steam I guess I won't be able to use it anymore with standalone dcs world? Other than the huey appears all is good now. So if you end up with a blank page press the refresh button :doh:

Skatezilla ... OK now I understand binding I tried that with the Huey I bought of steam and it's now letting me install to stand alone DCS, now it makes sense. Does that impact my ability to use it through steam though?

To clarify, to use FC3 you need:

 

- Copy of Lock On: Modern Air Combat (LOMAC). Flaming Cliffs/Flaming Cliffs 2 is not required.

 

- Non-Steam version of DCS World. FC3 is not compatible with the Steam version.

 

- Download DCS World, download the FC3 module and all other modules you own. Make a mission with a flyable aircraft from each module, then run it. An activation prompt will pop up when loading the game, enter the appropriate CD keys for each module.
