55rebel Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I would like to know how a module is installed after purchase. Haven't been able to find any specific instructions on how this is handled. I downloaded/installed DCS 2.0, and now need a terrain module. Looking to purchase DCS: NEVADA, but before doing so, I would like to know the procedure--trying to avoid any headaches. Any instructions, or a link to those instructions, would be greatly appreciate , Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangi Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 In game, use the module manager, the square of boxes up the top (in 1.5, and 2.0). PC: 6600K @ 4.5 GHz, 12GB RAM, GTX 970, 32" 2K monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidfan Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I have an interesting idea. What if ED actually published instructions on how to do this?

Meiz Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 It has been a few months since my last purchase but it should be very similar to the following steps. 1. Log in to the DCS website. 2. Purchase the module you want. 3. Open DCS and sign in with the same account that you used to purchase the module. 4. In the main menu open the module manager (top left corner of the main menu, its icon is 3 rows of 3 squares). In the top right hand corner of the manager it should show you your username if you're successfully logged in. 5. Find Nevada in the module manager, i think it's under available DLC > Terrains tab, if you own it then it will have an install button, press that. 6. DCS will close and open the down-loader. 7. Wait patiently, Nevada is 25 gb . 8. Once it's done installing it should automatically open DCS again and will ask you to enter the CD/Registration key for Nevada.

Thanks for the step by step instructions Meiz; exactly what I was looking for! I like cichlidfan idea. And thanks for the quick reply Rangi, but too vague. I was going to respond with only more questions ...sorry Edited March 2, 2016 by 55rebel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55rebel Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Install instructions can be found here: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/ Thanks for that; I feel embarrassed now :doh:. I tried clicking on support earlier and was presented with a "create new ticket" window. Must have had browser lag at that time, because I did not see that drop down list. Thanks All.

cichlidfan Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Install instructions can be found here: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/ If there isn't a link from the purchase page, or license email message, and the user has to look for it then it isn't worth the time it took to write up.

probad Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 on the other hand, if the user lacks the initiative to go answer finding, they will have a hard time learning the planes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
