flare2000x Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Steam Purchasing Questions Hi guys, I have been looking to buy FC3, but apparently you need to have the original LO:MAC to install it. However, on the Steam store page (where it is on sale for $19.99 until June 29:thumbup:) it doesn't say that you need to have Lock On, just DCS World. What's the scoop? Should I buy it off Steam so I don't need Lock On? Thanks, flare [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] DCS:WWII 1944 BACKER --- Fw. 190D-9 --- Bf. 109K-4 --- P-51D --- Spitfire!

Captain Spears Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) Hello - I Cannot seem to find a post relating to this. I have just purchased A-10C from Steam. It shows up in Steam as DCS World DLC (right click / view DLC) as purchased. However the state remains as uninstalled. How do I install it into my existing DCS World? Note: My existing DCS World (and Mod) were purchased here. EDIT: I think I have answered my own questions - I need to download via ED and then enter the CD Key on install. So essentially you are purchasing a CD key at Steam. Thanks, S. Edited June 22, 2014 by Captain Spears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sel94 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 If I purchases FC3 on steam can use the key on the download version or is the key locked to steam Yes when you purchase a module on Steam, find DCS World in you library, on the right side of the screen(I think) there should be something like 'view CD Key.' Click that, copy the key, then use it in the non-Steam download version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

django18 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 DCS FC3 steam version question Hey guys, So as you probably all know the steam summer sale is on at the moment and I wanted to buy the steam version of Flaming Cliffs 3. However, I have a few questions regarding the steam version: How does the updating work? Is it like every other steam game and will the steam updates be delayed? furthermore, would you actually recommend the steam version of FC3?

kuri77 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I have all available DCS titles on steam, so far i can't complain. I really like automatic updates that it provides. One thing that is kind of annoying right now is the fact that Steam doesn't have the Dora on preorder yet...

django18 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Thanks! But do you know how it works when it comes to the upcoming modules, i.e. mig-21, dora, f86...will they be available for steam aswell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShuRugal Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Thanks! But do you know how it works when it comes to the upcoming modules, i.e. mig-21, dora, f86...will they be available for steam aswell? I can't imagine why they wouldn't be: all the developer would do by not pushing on Steam is loose part of their potential market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

django18 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 ok, so I bought FC3, but for some reason i cannot control my throttle...for some reason the throttle works just fine in the free su-25t, but it doesn't work for the FC3 planes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witchking Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Check your settings/controller configs. I notice that mapping is always messed up for my thrust master & CH combo whenever I fresh install the game.

django18 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I dont really know where to change throttle controls, can't find the throttle up/down tab :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastorJoe Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hi django , your using Joystick right? Then connect it - start the sim - Options - pick the airplane you want to fly - Choose Axis commands - there should be " Thrust " , change that to whatever is designated as the throttle on your Joystick and that should do it. Same goes for each plane you want to fly, would just start with the F-15 and work your way from there for each plane so you feel satisfied when flying. Hope this helps, let us know.

Witchking Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 If you have independent throttle controls like in the x-55 rhino, you would assign thrust left and thrust right instead of just the thrust option.

django18 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 thank you so much guys! Works fine now, I didn't know you had to bin it for each plane:) sry for going slightly off topic, but I normally fly WWII sims and I just had my 1st flight in the f-15...oh boy what a machine!!! Quite convenient when you can reach altitudes of 10 000m and more in a matter of seconds :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaspeR32 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hello, I was curious whether or not ED will be releasing all it's future products on STEAM. I know they can't speak for VEAO and other 3rd parties, but since DCS: WWII is now being taken up by ED, I wonder if it will definitely be released on STEAM. For example, upcoming Fw-190 Dora.
