Para_Bellum Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Considering the installers for the 1.5 and 2.0 versions already were smart enough to copy large amount of data from the 1.2 installation I do hope it will work similar for the 2.0 release.

Pikey Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 My understanding is that the 2.0 fork is the production path. I can't recall where I read it, but most questions are answered in the forums and this one came from Wags so try a user post search. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said above ED is using smart installer. So if a file hasn't been changed and you have it in any version of DCS it will be copied to where it is needed rather than downloaded. The Nevada terrain is made up of many small files, with a few large ones, (sub 1 gb), so it's unlikely you'll ever have to download the whole thing again, just the updated bits.

Azrayen Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 My understanding is that the 2.0 fork is the production path. Not sure what you mean by that. Haven't read this. And currently 2.0 in an OpenAlpha, and as such installed in homonym directory. Can't see it modified to become the stable one. My money is on the installer (there is a file named localsource ;)), or the re-download. Anyway, there is no "official" word on this for now. Let's wait for it, shall we?

Conroy Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 For my opinion, as stated above, 1.5 converted to T4 will be merged in 2.0 via download from 1.5 folders. So, we don't have to unistall DCS 1.5 but we have to update it. So.... - DCS 1.5 updated - DCS 2.0 - DCS 1.5 merged to DCS 2.0 ...my two cents.

dburne Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) All we know is what was in the official announcement. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=146968 Once the Nevada map exits the Alpha stage, it and DCS World 2.0 will be merged into the stable, release version of DCS World or the Open Beta (TBD). So based on the above excerpt, I am just going ahead and keeping the 1.2 stable version, the 1.5 Open Beta, and the 2.0 Open Alpha all three installed just in case I should need one of them when that time comes.
