majapahit Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Are 2.5 release and 2.5(.1) basically the same now, only with updates lagging? If different I then would install a 2.5 release version also If basically the same (for a while now) then why should I? ? | VR goggles | Autopilot panel | Headtracker | TM HOTAS | G920 HOTAS | MS FFB 2 | Throttle Quadrants | 8600K | GTX 1080 | 64GB RAM| Win 10 x64 | Voicerecognition | 50" UHD TV monitor | 40" 1080p TV monitor | 2x 24" 1080p side monitors | 24" 1080p touchscreen | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldur Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Are 2.5 release and 2.5(.1) basically the same now, only with updates lagging? Exactly that is the case. No need to have a separate stable install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy1966 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Hello, yes like Eldur said. Also you can update to 2.5.1 from 2.5.0 or revert from 2.5.1 to 2.5.0 using the updater. see the post skatezilla made on the guides and toutorals section We are Virtual Pilots, a growing International Squad of pilots, we fly Allies in WWII and Red Force in Korea and Modern combat.

imacken Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I don’t understand the replies here. 2.5 release and 2.5.1 open beta most definitely are different. 2.5 is the ‘stable release’, and 2.5.1 is the beta we are reporting bugs on. If you want a ‘stable release’, then you do need a separate install from the beta.

David OC Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 The two builds are just close together at the moment in development, hopefully this will change soon moving forward. If you need to switch versions to the beta for the coming hornet and don't want two separate installs because of room etc. You can switch any DCS build back and forth to any build, I have made a post HERE with pictures explaining all the different methods to do this. i7-7700K OC @ 5Ghz | ASUS IX Hero MB | ASUS GTX 1080 Ti STRIX | 32GB Corsair 3000Mhz | Corsair H100i V2 Radiator | Samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe 500G SSD | Samsung 850 EVO 500G SSD | Corsair HX850i Platinum 850W | Oculus Rift | ASUS PG278Q 27-inch, 2560 x 1440, G-SYNC, 144Hz, 1ms | VKB Gunfighter Pro Chuck's DCS Tutorial Library Download PDF Tutorial guides to help get up to speed with aircraft quickly and also great for taking a good look at the aircraft available for DCS before purchasing.

imacken Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 The release and OB builds are always close together. Usually, the OB build is released and if no major issues are reported then in a couple of weeks, that becomes the release version. Nothing is different to the norm at the moment.

NeilWillis Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Are 2.5 release and 2.5(.1) basically the same now, only with updates lagging? If different I then would install a 2.5 release version also If basically the same (for a while now) then why should I? ? The two versions are 2.5.0 (Release) and 2.5.1 Beta. They are definitely different, which is precisely what the version numbers denote. If you mine a little deeper, you can see that even more version numbers are tacked onto the end of 2.5.* which denote exactly which build you are using. The third digit will only really change with a major change. The devil is always in the detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
