fatboy Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Hi pilots I was just wondering if I will need a new SSD for 2.5. I currently have 1.5.8 on a 60 gig SSD and I have a my 2.2 Alpha on a Normal HDD. I want to put 2.5 when it merges onto the SSD as it runs so much better and was wondering is a 60gig SSD going to be enough for 2.5? How will the the merge work also?

mwd2 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Caucasus 2.0 should be around 14GB. So take your size of 2.x and add 14GB....., on my SSD 2.2 has 81GB!

Drag80 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 This is something I would also like to know. However, my guess is atleast 120 GB will be required if you have normandy and Nevada also. I am going to get a seperate 128 GB SSD for 2.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboy Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 Wow, Ok then looks like i will be ordering a new SSD. A 120g Minimum by the look of it. I have all maps also every module, except the hawk so far.Probably should go a 240 so i have room to grow. Going to need room for that glorious FA-18 module as well as some other new ones coming out.Not to mention new maps that are on the horizon.Thanks for the help guys:thumbup: MODULES: A10C Warthog,AH-64 D APACHE,AJS Viggen,AV8B Harrier,BF109 K4,C101 Aviojet,F14 Tomcat,F15E Eagle,F16 Viper,F5 Tiger,F86 Sabre,FA18C Hornet,FW190A8,FW190D9,I16 Ishak,JF17 Thunder,KA50 Blackshark,L39Albatros,Mirage2000C,Mirage F-1,MI24P,MI8MVT2,MIG15BIS,MIG19P,MIG21BIS,Mosquito FB VI,P51D Mustang,P47D Thunderbolt,SA342 Gazell,SpitfireIX,TF51D,UH1H Huey,Yak52.

dburne Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I don't know what I am going to do, I currently have all three versions installed on my gaming SSD but something is going to have to go before I can grab 2.5. Either both 1.5 OB and SR, or 2.2. I don't suppose copying all the files of either of these over to a HDD would work, the installer would not know to grab them from new location if just copied over right?

mwd2 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Keep 2.2. and 1.5.8 Stable on the SSD and move 1.5.8 OpenBETA to a HDD - this would give you enough space and you can install 2.5.x After his delete 2.2, move OpenBETA back to the SSD and run the update for it. After it you could delete 1.5.8.... (this is what i will do!)

drPhibes Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Why do it so complicated? If, on "2.5-day", the release and open beta versions of 1.5 are the same version (like now; 1.5.8.12823.414), you can delete one or the other. It doesn't matter which one, as they are identical at that point. The installer will find your 1.5 and 2.2 files even if they aren't located on the same drive where you are installing 2.5, so if you're low on SSD space, move one or both to a HDD.

shonist Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 lol why you dont guys move all clients to HDD and install 2.5 in HDD too. after the install you just move your 2.5 folder to SSD and its done... perhaps you want the extra ssd speed to speed up the install?? doesnt seems necessary. just my 2 cents.

dburne Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Why install 2.5 to the HDD, then move back over to the SSD? Seems like just going ahead and installing it to the SSD would be the shortest route.

SyntaxError Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) Hi, :) I trust in a proper 2.5 install-routine and the registry https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3346229&postcount=4You don't need to move it anywhere as Cibit explained. When you download and exucute the 2.5 installer it will create the dcs_Locale_source.txt, which will have the location of any of your DCS builds. Moving it to another harddrive may cause the installer and locale file to not locate your installations. If you do choose to move your installation due to space etc. then just cancel the 2.5 installer once it has created the DCS World folder and .exe and simply create/open the dcs_Locale_source.txt and paste the current directory location in there. No need for any reg edits. Edit: Unless you want to move it and have it still be playable then yes you may have to edit the registry.

SyntaxError Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) Hmm starting to get a little complex... Maybe I can get it figured out.Not really, if you have enough space on your drive to keep 1.5 or Open Alpha or Both + 2.5 (which will be as big or bigger than your current builds) then don't worry you shouldn't have to do anything. But in the case of Blech (and now myself) is I don't have enough space on my drive so when the 2.5 installer starts copying the files over from my current DCS builds I will run out of space, so I will have to move DCS over to a different storage device and that is where an edit of the dcs_locale_source file may be required to make sure the 2.5 updater finds the already existing DCS builds.
