Steam Purchasing Questions

 

Hi guys,

 

I have been looking to buy FC3, but apparently you need to have the original LO:MAC to install it. However, on the Steam store page (where it is on sale for $19.99 until June 29:thumbup:) it doesn't say that you need to have Lock On, just DCS World. What's the scoop? Should I buy it off Steam so I don't need Lock On?

 

Thanks, flare

You don't need LockOn, any longer, no matter where you buy it.

Hello - I Cannot seem to find a post relating to this.

 

I have just purchased A-10C from Steam. It shows up in Steam as DCS World DLC (right click / view DLC) as purchased. However the state remains as uninstalled. How do I install it into my existing DCS World?

 

Note: My existing DCS World (and Mod) were purchased here.

 

EDIT: I think I have answered my own questions - I need to download via ED and then enter the CD Key on install. So essentially you are purchasing a CD key at Steam.

 

Thanks,

S.

Right click on DCS World Icon in the steam list, select properties, then local files and finally Verify Integrity of Game Cache.

 

Hope that works.

Yes when you purchase a module on Steam, find DCS World in you library, on the right side of the screen(I think) there should be something like 'view CD Key.' Click that, copy the key, then use it in the non-Steam download version.

DCS FC3 steam version question

 

Hey guys,

 

So as you probably all know the steam summer sale is on at the moment and I wanted to buy the steam version of Flaming Cliffs 3. However, I have a few questions regarding the steam version:

 

How does the updating work? Is it like every other steam game and will the steam updates be delayed? furthermore, would you actually recommend the steam version of FC3?

I have all available DCS titles on steam, so far i can't complain. I really like automatic updates that it provides. One thing that is kind of annoying right now is the fact that Steam doesn't have the Dora on preorder yet...

Thanks! But do you know how it works when it comes to the upcoming modules, i.e. mig-21, dora, f86...will they be available for steam aswell?

 

I can't imagine why they wouldn't be: all the developer would do by not pushing on Steam is loose part of their potential market.

I just bought FC3 on steam yesterday evening, no complaints so far! Go ahead and buy it mate!

Check your settings/controller configs. I notice that mapping is always messed up for my thrust master & CH combo whenever I fresh install the game.

Hi django , your using Joystick right? Then connect it - start the sim - Options - pick the airplane you want to fly - Choose Axis commands - there should be " Thrust " , change that to whatever is designated as the throttle on your Joystick and that should do it. Same goes for each plane you want to fly, would just start with the F-15 and work your way from there for each plane so you feel satisfied when flying.

 

Hope this helps, let us know.

If you have independent throttle controls like in the x-55 rhino, you would assign thrust left and thrust right instead of just the thrust option.

thank you so much guys! Works fine now, I didn't know you had to bin it for each plane:)

 

sry for going slightly off topic, but I normally fly WWII sims and I just had my 1st flight in the f-15...oh boy what a machine!!! Quite convenient when you can reach altitudes of 10 000m and more in a matter of seconds :pilotfly:

Hello,

 

I was curious whether or not ED will be releasing all it's future products on STEAM. I know they can't speak for VEAO and other 3rd parties, but since DCS: WWII is now being taken up by ED, I wonder if it will definitely be released on STEAM. For example, upcoming Fw-190 Dora.
