Malarius Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Hi. Would it be possible to install DCS (Open beta) on to multiple disks? Have My system (Win 10) on a M2 and would like to use my 120GB ssd for DCS. Can I Have my modules, mods, maps etc. on another drive (1TB mechanical)? Getting a bit frustrated here, please advise. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lange_666 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Yes. Just make a copy of the entire main installation onto the new drive. To make things easy afterwarts, use SkateZilla's tool to switch and update the various installs.

Personal Wish List: A6 Intruder, Vietnam theater, decent ATC module, better VR performance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I think the OP meant having a single install divided amongst two drives. While it is technically possible, using Windows’ hard links, it is harder to maintain.

David OC Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 You want to keep DCS and the maps on an SSD or it will be very slow to load. The modules and other miscellaneous things take up little room so not really worth it. I guess you could symlink the maps to a different drive. This will be very slow on a mechanical drive and you may as well copy the full DCS accross to the mechanical drive. I recommend you get a new 500GB SSD and copy DCS to that, no need to download again. These new pc always have a very small SSD for windows, when I built my pc I added more drives just for DCS and steam. 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.

Think you are correct, was doing some "quick" cross-reading which is never good, certainly not when responding...:doh: Win11 Pro 64-bit, Ryzen 5800X3D, Corsair H115i, Gigabyte X570S UD, EVGA 3080Ti XC3 Ultra 12GB, 64 GB DDR4 G.Skill 3600.
