anfieldmarauder Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I have purchased the F14 by Heatblur and cannot get it to be picked up by the DCS World programme AND finally, I have also purchased VEAO Hawk..and that requires an older version of DCS World...trouble is I can't find a download for it, and every version i have found gets over written by the updater? So if ANYONE can teach a noob how to use the forum and post these questions I would really REALLY be grateful...thank you everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the F-14, just make sure you are logged into your dcs world account in game and use the module manager to download the f-14 guide here https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/400/#1432837 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Rudel_chw Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I have purchased the F14 by Heatblur and cannot get it to be picked up by the DCS World programme AND finally, I have also purchased VEAO Hawk..and that requires an older version of DCS World...trouble is I can't find a download for it, and every version i have found gets over written by the updater? I wonder how you were able to purchase the Hawk, as its been not available on the e-shop for quite a while now. If you purchased it recently then I suggest to raise a support ticket to see if you are elegible for a refund or not. Now, if you do want to really use both aircrafts, you will need two separate installs of DCS, one for the tomcat and a different one for the hawk .. so be sure to have enough space on your hard drive :) proceed as follows: 1) download the latest openbeta version of dcs and install it: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/beta/ Connect on this version with your ED credentials and then open its module manager to download the F-14 on it. 2) download the latest stable version of dcs and install it: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/stable/ To disable the automatic update, edit the windows shortcut so that instead of pointing to dcs_updater.exe, points instead to dcs.exe ... be careful to not confuse the shortcut withe the one of the openbeta version. 3) now, update the stable version to the older 2.5.3 version ... for that, open a command prompt window with admin rights, navigate to the /program files/dcs/bin folder and there run this command: Dcs_updater update 2.5.3@release If you dont know how to open the command prompt, check this guide: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030 Good luck For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
