Ahhh you had my hopes up there for a moment, but IC still banishes the terrain mods.

 

Yea sorry. After I had run a mission offline, and went into the lobby, IC failed. Sry gents.

We will see. But as they speak about a short update I wouldn`t expect too much of it.

I thought v2 was not available on Steam? So what does this mean?

 

Today we release short update of DCS 2.1.1 for synchronization with arrived DCS 2.1.1 in Steam.

And how does one use v2.1.1 with Steam, without any terrain?

Does this mean that last weeks 1.56 patch logs are in 2.1 today, or is that way too imaginative?

 

Basically wondering is the Viggen updates hit 2.1 from last week etc.

You can opt in to any of the versions now on steam, 1.5, 1.5 OB, 1.2 and 2.1 OA. Naturally you can only play the NTTR map while opted into the alpha...

 

I wonder if this means you can only have one install with steam, so you play either or.

Does this, for me, surprise Steam release mean that DCS 2.5 is just around the corner or in contrary that it will still be long wait and they release 2.1. because they can't wait any longer for additional Steam sales of 2.1 content?

 

Good question, but highly doubt an official answer.

Well, even with games that currently have multiple versions available, like Factorio, you can still only have one version installed.

Yes I think this is more down to the way steam works than DCS, although I once recall a game that had a seperate install and you could have two, but its not generally the norm. Need to see if that's the case with this.

  • ED Team
As usual, the patch notes don't contain anything about performance improvements. Can it be because there is none, or will we find our game runs better or worse when we fire it up, just like last time when it got much worse?

 

Have you updated your 950 yet? I dont think ED can do anything to help that card, as you have been told repeatedly.

OK, well theres way more options than I expected for Steam after a quick check!

"Way more"?

There are the three DCS branches that we are used to from the standalone variant (Stable Release, Open Beta, Open Alpha) and the latest 32bit version of DCS. While the 32bit version might be a suprise, all other options were to be expected.

Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit

 

DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

I agree. An example in my Steam collection is the racing sim Automobilista (AMS). They wanted users to be able to have separately installed and runnable versions of the game, so they created a "second" game, effectively, called Automobilista Beta. I have both installed and can therefore run both the base and the beta versions of AMS, but that seems to only work on Steam if the developer creates the separate Beta game.

Does this steam release mean 2.1 has gone out of beta?

 

No. It is labeled Open Alpha on Steam.

hmmm!! interesting,

Wonder if both Standalone & Steam now get updates and early access modules at the same time now?

if so that might be the winning factor to jump back to steam and get rid of starforce and the limited activation keys, once and for all :D, wouldn't mind having to re-purchase some of the modules again either,

Modules are like Pokemon you gotta catch 'em all :joystick::lol::pilotfly:

I don't think you will get rid of starforce switching to steam
