I don't intend to "beat a dead horse" on this topic, but how long will the open beta be? Would it be prudent to go ahead and install the beta or just wait for the official release?

Win 10, AMD FX9590/water cooled, 32GB RAM, 250GB SSD system, 1TB SSD (DCS installed), 2TB HD, Warthog HOTAS, MFG rudders, Track IR 5, LG Ultrawide, Logitech Speakers w/sub, Fans, Case, cell phone, wallet, keys.....printer

That would depend on whether you want to deal with beta bugs or not.

 

The Open Beta has only been updated once so far, if that gives you any indication of how long it might be.

And keep in mind they lose a week of production over the holidays in Russia so it feels a bit longer than it really is.

 

Fortunately I think a bunch of folks have been hard at work making certain that the devs have plenty to keep them busy on their return.

 

I think that will be on the 9th.

Oh okay. Thanks. Sounds like the beta might be worth the time.

The only thing turning me off to installing the 1.2.7 release is the separate install. I don't want to reconfigure all my graphical settings, hotas configs, etc.

I'd rather just have it replace 1.2.6

Maybe next time, have the beta replace the previous version, but offer users a choice? Warn them it's beta?

I copied (drag and dropped) my Mustang and FC3 into the Beta it worked like a charm, even adding the training missions with out having to direct the software to it. I don't see why this wouldn't work with the other config. files

Copying config files frequently will work, unless your copy eliminates/breaks changes in the new version. It also can invalidate test results for that same reason.

If there are no show stopping bugs then they should release it and do incremental patches :)

 

One man's minor issue, is another man's show stopping bug. ;)

There are still some, in my opinion, medium servere bugs and a few show stopping bugs (i.e. AI not working/starting for ground units --> broken missions).

 

But I am somewhat impressed of how many bugs we were able to find and narrow down - especially concerning MP. I think, if this beta is over - and the necessary fixes are implemented :o) - we all will really have accomplished a lot. So, if it takes some time, let it take some time. Hopefully this will then give ED some maneuvering space to get to the, hrm, old bugs, too. :o)

Just out of curiosity, is there an easy way to safely export and import keyboard/joysticks settings for aircraft?

 

I have a lot of switches that are down=..., up=.... or otherwise on my HOTAS and I'd like to do a completely clean install for 1.2.7 but get my key settings back as fast as possible...

I just hope the 127 release (updating 126) is not as big (12GB) as the seperate install. Bandwidth is an issue where I live.

 

The Open Beta is that big because it is the whole thing. When 1.2.6 updates to 1.2.7, it will be just like any other update, as big as it needs to be to accommodate the files that have changed.

The 'Save Profile' button in Options>Controls (upper right).

Then 1.2.6 and 1.2.7 use the same C:\user.........saved games folder?

 

Couldn't you just drag and drop the setting lua into the new install? I dragged and dropped my P51 folder into 1.2.7 and had no issues. Training missions and all started up fine.

You are exempt from reporting bugs then. Bugs should only be reported with installs that have not been tampered with.

Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two.

Everything else, including exploding ARMs, can be dealt with, but this makes it almost impossible to fly with many players over time.

 

Which is not what you got it for. It's there to catch bugs, not to give you an enjoyable experience.

It is not recommended to copy any control settings from your 1.2.6 install, if something worked you got lucky. Old missions should be opened and re-saved in new version, controls should be reset from scratch.

 

Then 1.2.6 and 1.2.7 use the same C:\user.........saved games folder?

Conversations like this are an example of why Matt has had to post "Please follow directions." about 50 times in the Open Beta bug thread.
