Anyone deleted DCSW 1.2 yet?

I moved 1.2 to my HDD a while back. Only the "active" sims gain access to my SSD... :)

Is it just copy and paste? that will free me some room

I unistalled it just after 2.0 launched, we havent used 1.2 for a while, we pretty much moved to 1.5 when that became a lot more stable.

Sod it ill delete it ive not used mine since 1.5 release

yes. that's all I did. Plus, update your launch icon (if on the desktop), to reflect the new path.

(do a quick search on moving your DCS install, couldn't believe it was that simple). :)

The release version of 1.5 is called DCS 2. ;)

 

DCS 1.5 was made available to test EDGE (Eagle Dynamics Graphics Engine) while Nevada still wasn't ready for release.

Once the Black Sea map is 2.0 compatible I assume 2.0 will become the new Open Beta and 1.5 will cease to exist.

You're wrong :)

Ver. 1.5. This version includes all the same content as Ver. 1.2, but uses the new graphics engine. At the end of December 2015, we plan to move Ver. 1.5 out of Open Beta and make it the new released (stable) version. At that time, Ver. 1.2 will no longer be updated and supported.

Personally, I'm keeping 1.2 installed as that's the version that's going to be updated when ED merge stuff.

1.5 OB and 2.0 Alpha will still exist, and ED don't ever turn a person's beta installs into release.

the idear was or is beta is a test for bugs to update dcs

You're wrong :)

There will no doubt be a full release version of 2.0 downloadable from DCS site. Not everyone coming to 2.0 will have arrived there via 1.2.

New users wont be downloading 1.2 then having to update it to 2.0, stands to reason there will be a full standalone client.

There is no harm in deleting 1.2

I got rid of mine ages ago but still have BS1 and A10-C beta 3 plus 1.2.8, 1.5.2 and 2.0;)

And a new 240 Gb SSD if santa comes

Still hosting/flying 1.2.16 multiplayer three times week. Betas and Alphas don't interest me. Waiting for the real release version of 1.5

Normally I would agreed, but 1.5 is pretty much rock solid so far to me.

So, just to be sure, I can uninstall the 1.2 and the 1.5 updater will convert the 1.5 Open Beta to a stable release once the time comes? I.e. there's nothing that will be reused by the 1.5 stable in the 1.2 branch?

No.

This is what people seem to not understand. Open Beta stays Open Beta.

The release version (1.2) is the version that'll get updates, as that is the only non-test install on your machine. This is the same as has happened for all other patches that have gone through beta.

^ Nobody knows really. The newsletter didn't specify which install is going to serve as a base for a stable 1.5.

Edit - Buzzles' theory sounds plausible, though.

I still have LOMAC installed. I make sure to have more disk space than I can possibly use. I hate not having things readily available.

This is why I've kept it so far, but I'm not so sure it will work the way you describe given what I've seen so far with the latest updates.

I'd expect 1.5 (Stable) installer exe to be available online for download which will then copy the 1.5 Beta files as the base and then compare with the files on the server to download the updates.

It would be nice to get an official confirmation so I can free some space from the ever so insufficiently large SSD partition.

I was waiting EDGE to upgrade my OS to win 10 and to have a clean DCS installed. So that, after OS clean install I had installed only 1.5 and 2.0. I'd wish to spend more time playing them but I did not managed yet.

Quick related question. Should you "de authorize" modules before you uninstall them (like some games do), or do you not have to do that with DCS?

No only 1.5 and 2.0 Nttr now because i had to upgrade my pc to a 64 bit version and a new motherboard. now i can just relaxt and waiting for the full release of Dcs 2.0

How many versions of DCS exist ?

I'm very confused can someone tell me how many versions of DCS exist and what the

differences between them?

on my pc there is just a DCS WORLD version 1.2.16.43180

im reading today that there is new update of what ? i can not update my version

I would be grateful to those who do for me order.

thanx

Holding on to 1.2 as my only version pending public update to Edge and version 2 standard, or whatever it is we will be getting.

Have Stopped flying DCS in the mean time until 1.2 is subject to public update.

Happy landings,

Talisman

You have the 1.2.16 version. The next version is the 1.5.2 update to that install (brings 1.2 to 1.5 beta). Then you have 2.0 which is the Alpha release but you need to buy the NTTR map to use 2.0.

So in a nutshell:

1.2 full release

1.5 Beta - Beta version upgrade to 1.2 ( I updated my 1.2 to 1.5 via Steam - so I have no 1.2 any longer - if you have separate install of 1.2 outside of Steam, then I think you can do a separate install of 1.5 - thus having these two version on you desktop at same time).

2.0 is Alpha release of the new DCS. Again, you need to purchase the NTTR map to fly it.

Hope this makes sense.

Good day,

DrDetroit

DrDetroit did a good job. I will just add that they plan to merge everything into the 2.0 version in a few months. All this confusion is just temporary.

If you don't want to participate in testing, then just wait until the others are released as stable. Your 1.2.16 will update to 1.5.2 sometime in december I think, then it will update again to 2.0 when that is finished.

Excellent!

We now expect a weekly progress review for you to provide an update. The only thing missing is the stoplight for the action/task list.

Many thanks, rep inbound! :);):megalol::pilotfly:

If I understand you: if I have no desire to try "things that have not yet finished" i should wait

for the update of my version ?
