coolts Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) I have the keys for terrain and assets as a kickstarter backer. I've not fired up DCS in over a year and have "open alpha" installed. I updated this and the Spitfire module popped up which i installed but i cant see how to get the Normandy terrain or ww2 assets. They don't show in module manager. What am i doing wrong? From the e-shop "This product can be downloaded and installed through the DCS World Module Manager."

Woolfe Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I have 1.5 and have pre ordered Normandy. Do i delete 1.5 and down load 2 when Normandy comes out or just download 2 1st or Normandy first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidfan Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 You will have to download v2 first. Normandy will be installed from inside the Module Manager just like the aircraft that you currently have. By default v2 will install in it's own folder and will not interfere with v1.5 at all.

So i guess i should wait till Normandy is released prior to downloading 2. Should i then delete 1.5 to save disk space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Servers will be pretty busy on friday I guess :) You can delete 1.5 to save disk space, but then you can no longer fly on the caucasus map. DCS 2.x only works with NTTR and/or Normandy.

Basco1 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Warning..........If your going to delete 1.5,just remember to move your liveries folder across to 2.0,otherwise you'll lose all of your custom skins that you saved within 1.5. It may also be wise to move your inputs or controls folder across from your user/saved games/DCS folder too.

Azrayen Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Unless disk space really doesn't allow it, I advise to keep both release (currently 1.5) and open alpha (2.x) branches installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaW0lf Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Just as a feedback for those newbie's like myself downloading the DCS 2.0 in advance -- don't fret afterwards. I thought I had lost the 1.5 version because it loaded the game and asked for login information (mine was saved), the interface has a new background and the options like missions and multiplayer were grayed out since I only have the pre-purchased Normandy map. My first thought was -- great, now I'll have to uninstall it and install the 1.5 back on and loose my setup -- I have it saved, but for sure is a bit outdated. Then I remembered people mentioning to keep both versions installed and I went to check the folders. The 1.5 is still there and I can still access the old interface like I used before. It is a bit confusing I admit, like having two different games. I imagined the interface would remain the same with a tab for the 2.0 version. So don't fret!

Jamesp1 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Has anyone downloaded the Normandy map? I can't find it in module manager I can't find it in the module manager or in the row of modules on the bottom of the main menu. I see some people are getting errors refreshing the module manager but I'm not by the way. So just wondering if anyone has downloaded it and if so was it under Maps? Did you also have to download a seperate module for the assests and if so where was that? Thanks :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesp1 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Yep, and reran the updater to check. The modules do say 2.1 in the main menu so I'm sure I'm on the right version. Have you downloaded it then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
