Activating F-5E Module

[reyco1987]

So I just bought the F-5 and FC3 bundle. On both DCS 1.5 and 2.0 the module manager, when opened, does it's normal thing and installs FC3. The F-5 doesn't pop up to be installed, nor is it even anywhere on the module manager list...I definitely have the module, because I can view the activation key on the ED website.

 

Is there another way to activate that I don't know about?

Dont try to activate multiple modules install them one at a time.

[reyco1987]

I am unable to physically tell DCS to install the F-5.

[Coxy_99]

Should prompt you in module manager, You may want to open a support ticket on the website, Its not bound to a second account is it?

[BIGNEWY]

give me some time I will find out what is going on.

 

Had a friend ask me the same earlier, I told him to give it some time but it seems others are seeing the same.

Same thing happening to me and another user....

Nope, it's all the same account. The fact that FC3 installed confirms that. Sure is weird. Really weird that the module isn't even found on the module manager at all.

 

...Wonder if this has anything to do with it coming out of early access...

Just check you all have a key

if you have a key make sure it is bound to your account by checking here

I have sent a message to ED to find out more, when I know something I will let you all know

[BIGNEWY]

can someone who is having problems with the F-5E attach their autoupdate_log.txt from there dcs root folder.

thanks ED are looking into it now

Just an FYI, but no big deal to me since I only fly NTTR right now;

I just updated my install from 1.2 to 1.5 latest and I also do not have the F-5 module option in 1.5.

Not in the installed or option to install. The home screen (where you can set your wallpaper) shows I need to buy it.

The F-5 works in 2.0 but in the module manager there is an empty spot where you would add your serial number. But I can still fly it.

 

It is bound to my account and active....for 2.0

Checked my virus software (eset) nothing quarantined or blocked there.

 

An FYI - I did recently move my install to an SSD with the drag drop method and I updated my registry and everything seems read/launch fine no problems getting things to start or update. (eh maybe something?):

- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha

- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World

 

Thank you Mr. Newy!! Just letting you guys know.

None of the Logs show F-5E module being applied.

 

 

 

You can Try Manually Installing via Command Line:

from the /Bin/ Directory in Command Prompt Run:

DCS_Updater.exe install F-5E

 

or Use GUI Utility,

 

 

Place Utility in DCS World Main Folder, Launch (Verify it detects DCS_Updater)(It Will Prompt)

Click F-5E Icon, Let it Install,

Click Re-Detect Modules,

Then Click the Starforce DRM Icon next to it, and Enter Your License Key.
