Tiger-II Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Do you have the Steam version of DCS? The two are NOT compatible!

Tiger-II Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 no i have the standalone, i only bought the mig on steam and transferd it to dcs. That might be why. :( AFAIK you can't buy it on Steam and use the files in stand-alone (and vice-versa). See if you can either get a refund or a license exchange so you have the correct module type for the simulator.

You can use a Steam key on standalone, but you need to go on the website for DCS and link it to your Steam account. After that all Steam keys you have will activate. You CANNOT use standalone keys on Steam, however. This is a Steam policy and nothing ED can do about it.
