Rudel_chw Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 11 hours ago, bonesvf103 said: Let’s say you bind a steam module to dcs standalone, then decide to go back to Steam so you unbind it, but then decide later to bind it to dcs standalone again, will it let you? Actually, you don't bind individual modules, instead you are telling ED that your ED User account belongs to the same person as a Steam User account (well, unless someone else knows your Steam password). Once your ED account is binded to your Steam account, you can activate your Steam DCS modules as if you had purchased them at ED. Even after your Steam-acquired modules are on your stand-alone DCS, you can still keep using them on Steam .. of course you will then be using twice the disk space: once for the Steam DCS and once for the stand-alone DCS. So, there is no need to ever unbind your Steam account from your ED account ... but even if you unbind it, you can later on bind it again if you wish. 12 hours ago, bonesvf103 said: “7) When you click the "Unbind" button, all your Steam transferred licenses will be revoked and the binding removed.” the whole “license is revoked” thing concerns me. Your steam licenses are never touched in any way ... the highlighted phrase refers that the licenses on your ED account, that were originally purchased on Steam, will no longer be available to use on your DCS stand-alone ... but of course you will be able to fly them on your Steam DCS. 2 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...

OK, but if you decided to go back to standalone from Steam after that, you still can? It's not like one you decide to go back to Steam, you can't ever go Standalone again? Thanks.

Diima Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) Nevada ist working now but the rest dont. Strange. i found a solution. you need to install them over the DCS updater. 1. Open CMD as Admin in the DCS-World folder with "Shift-Right click" or the Powershell for Win 10 user. 2. Type in .\DCS_updater.exe install F-16C (Modul should be in the "Mods" foulder. He scans the files and activate them. 3. Do step 2. with every module. The correct Name of the Module can be found in "DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F-16C "Entry" file" under "update-id" Edited December 7, 2021 by Diima Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afaik Steam DCS profile is in C:\Users\[username]\Documents\My Games\ so you'd have to copy what you need from there, like config\input folder and mission editor\logbook.lua, etc. 1 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX3060 Rift S T16000M TWCS TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony3d Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) Hello, I downloaded this game from Steam because it had the ability to stop and continue the download at another time. I wanted to install the mi-24p module and play the trial version, but I realized that I need to install the standalone version! Is there a way that I don't have to delete and reinstall the game from the beginning? Now that I have tested from the launcher, this message is sent to me, I don't have enough space, should I delete the game I downloaded from Steam first? There is no other way that I don't have to delete it? Edited July 1, 2023 by tony3d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to delete something. Since doubling the DCS doesn't make sense it's only logical to delete the one from Steam. 1 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX3060 Rift S T16000M TWCS TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the download speed from the stand-alone DCS world launcher is very slow ( 200 Kb/sec ) But the download speed from Steam is 12 MB for me، and it doesn't even have the ability to stop! Internet and electricity are very unstable in my area, I thought the game launcher checks and confirms the downloaded data. The DCS should have created a way to replace it Edited July 2, 2023 by tony3d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
