Need some help installing/uninstalling my DCS

[1Wolf]

It had been some time since I was playing DCSW and I'd recently returned. I've taken advantage of the Christmas Sale and purchased a whole bunch of modules.

 

My DCSW installs (I have both DCS 1.5 and 2.0 installed) are growing and I'm thinking I need to move/reinstall them to another drive.

 

Currently I have DCS 1.5 and DCS 2.0 and all their modules installed on my system drive. However, I also have another SSD with plenty of space free that I used to only use for Microsoft FSX. I hardly touch FSX these days so I thought I'd put my DCS there.

 

What is the best procedure to do this with both DCS 1.5, DCS 2.0, and all modules and campaigns. I don't want to lose any of my saved data, campaigns, or customizations. I'm nervous though about just moving folders around as I'd rather do this as "clean" as possible.

 

I don't mess much with customizations and such so I don't know too much about the files and folders in DCS so please...any advice you offer...treat me as a newbie.

 

So what is the best and cleanest procedure to do this? Just save off my old DCS 1.5 and 2.0 folders in a temp folder and then uninstall and reinstall? Do I need to deactivate the modules first and then reactivate them? Do I need to deactivate them in both 1.5 and 2.0 before uninstalling?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

It seems that it's possible to just copy the Folder of DCS from one drive to another and manually update a registry key and the desktop links, as indicated on this reddit post:

 

 

keep in mind that your saved data and campaigns are located on your user folder (at "saved games"), so they shouldnt need to be moved.
