Mike Busutil Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 But wait! There's more!!! Since 1.2.7 will be a new beta which will eventually become a new install this means we will lose our flight logs? (Flight hours for each aircraft, total time etc...) If so can we make it so this does not happen?

Once the beta phase for 1.2.7 is over, the original 1.2.6 will be updated to the release version of 1.2.7. This is at least how I would expect it to happen.

Psyrixx Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 You won't lose your flight logs if you keep your 1.2.6 install. Once the beta phase for 1.2.7 is over, the original 1.2.6 will be updated to the release version of 1.2.7. This is at least how I would expect it to happen. Correct. The open beta maintains a completely separate directory until it goes to public release (at least this is how it works with other open beta software). Then once v1.2.7 is released to the public, the main game auto-updater should update your existing v1.2.6 install to v1.2.7. The purpose of the beta, as stated previously, is to give you a completely clean slate with which to test new game patches. Really, all you should use it for is this. You shouldn't install mods or textures or cockpits to try and make it a copy of your v1.2.6 install because that's not the point... the point is to rule out any outside variables that may break features of the game and test a vanilla install of the next version of DCS World. The only exception to this would be if you currently maintain an active modification and want to make sure it works in the latest version, and if it is broken you should take the appropriate steps to fix it prior to v1.2.7 public release. =) Robert Sogomonian | Psyrixx website| e-mail | blog | youtube | twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire257 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 My concern is when it'll leave beta. If we're talking Betasimtek beta, we could be waiting a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filament Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Ya, I didn't mean to say it would be a 5 minute change, but there is obviously a lot of energy around pointing out imperfections and some of that could probably be a little more effectively directed. This whole thing is sooo reminiscent of the Janes' F-15 dayz (circa 1996-7 or so). Remember that? CJ and company on the forums almost everyday addressing the 'whining' about the power output of the F-15E as opposed to the C model, etc. and why it can't go vertical with all those stores, etc. etc. -The same guys are here. Some developers, too - all working hard. -We're older now, and still have our pet 'concerns.' -We're more focused, and willing to 'pitch in' - because we 'bought in' - and there's, frankly, no better flight model anywhere - save IL-2 and associated. -Carrying on from above, all the vitriol of the 'purists' (us) are focused on "what's left of the flight community(s) offerings" and are all the more adamant that it "finally be correct...." (whatever "it" is - and there are many aspects). Let's all step back...take deep breaths...and realize that we're all on the same page, here, at the core. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gh0st007 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Look, DCSW is a massive undertaking and it's a small company. Can't relate to that, well, go play Pong or something.

Dejjvid Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I will use this OB opportunity to address the 'Crazy Shkval' issue on the Ka-50 once and for all.

karambiatos Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 wait after you get the 17mb you get a nice 12.8 GB, what is strange that its DLing at 17MB/s when i have a crappy 6mbps connection.

TurboHog Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 17mb o.O The web installer is 17mb. The open beta will be about the same size as your full V1.2.6, assuming no significant changes (Like scenery, texture overhauls) were made. It will be installed not as a patch, but as a standalone version of DCS. Even with its own saved games folder for config files, logs and tracks etc. 'Frett' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
