DCS world 1.5 and 2

SOH-CM-2023
Okay so I downloaded DCS world 2 and Nevada, not realising that it doesn't contain the Caucusus region. My question is, is it possible to have access to both DCS world 1.5 and 2 with one installation, and one drive?

David.
 
DCS World 1.5 and 2.0 are separate installations. You should be able to get both installers from the DCS World website.

Nevada is basically the only terrain in version 2, which means it needs to be purchased to even be able to use version 2.

The developers are currently in the process of combining the separate versions, which will mean that the Caucuses (an improved version) will be available to use in Version 2, along with all of the 1.5 aircraft, missions etc.

Here is the installer for V1.5

You can have V1.5 and V2 installed on the same system/drive. I actually have those two and V1.5 Beta still installed also.

Cheers,

Thanks for the quick reply, I pre-ordered the A-10C beta and so got the Nevada terrain included, although I did at one point wonder if they would ever complete it! Glad they did though, it's beautiful.

I will download DCS world 1.5, and run them side by side until they merge.
 
DCS are working hard to combine 1.5 and 2.0.They listed it as a priority in the last update,It will be called DCS 2.5

WIP Update...........

DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range (NTTR) Map Update

A key part of bringing the NTTR map out of early access is fleshing out the number of airfields, towns, and landmarks. As for the airfields, we are adding several new military and civilian locations to operate from:
  • Tonopah Test and Training Range (TTR) Airfield
  • Pahute Mesa Airstrip
  • Mellan Airstrip
  • Mina Airstrip
  • Tonopah Airport
  • Beatty Airport
  • Lincoln County Airport
  • Mesquite Airport
  • Echo Bay Airport
  • North Las Vegas Airport
  • Henderson Executive Airport
  • Boulder City Municipal Airport
  • Jean Airport
  • Laughlin Airport

Not only do these new airfields provide a wealth of new possibilities for single player missions, they also provides much greater distances between airfields (Tonopah to Laughlin for example) for multiplayer matches. Progress on the updated map is going well and we expect to release later in 2016.

This weekend we have a final set of images from the big update coming for the Nevada map. This final set of images give you a look at Beatty Airport, Mina Airstrip, Echo Bay Airstrip, and the Tonopah Test and Training Range (TTR) Airfield.

Work continues on this big update with emphasis on new airfield AI pathing, runway adjustments, completing the TTR airfield buildings, and some other items to resolve before release later this year.

NORMANDY UPDATE.......
"DCS: World War II Update

Our DCS: World War II set of products progress with the Spitfire making great progress and the Normandy map nearing completion. An important aspect of creating the Normandy map is also creating a set of period-appropriate units to populate the map. This includes both Allied and Axis units that span both military and civilian unit types.

For this weekend’s update, we offer you an early look at a few of these new ground units.
 
Man; you're making it difficult. I am trying not to get in to DCS WW2, as I have so many other sims for WW2 combat and flying, and as I have so many modern modules already for DCS.

But these pics.....
 
Hello Scott,Sorry buddy,I just can't help myself:jump:I get so excited about this DCS stuff! It feels like back in the day when Oleg Maddox himself used to give **Pacific Fighters** updates for the original IL*2:jump:[Ya I'm that OLD]Hehe!!! Here's some DCS News from this week.....
 
Hey. Nah, that's OK :encouragement: I understand. I get pretty excited about DCS World too. It took me a while to get in to DCS World, even though I had Lock On and Flaming Cliffs. Even when I started getting a few modules in sales I still didn't install the sim and modules for ages. I must have had my A-10C box sitting on the shelf for about two years. Once I actually started using it and learning the aircraft though; well let's just say I'm hooked. Since I bought the HOTAS Warthog controller I have been totally addicted to DCS World. I still can't get enough of the A-10, although I make sure to use all the other modules too. In fact I think I was flying the Mig-15 before I installed the A-10, and was hooked on that and the Sabre for ages.

Trouble is, between FSX, P3D, (and work and sleep), I can hardly find the time to fly as much in DCS as I want to. I am currently really enjoying the A-10C Red Flag campaign though. I am not doing much scenery design for FSX/P3D atm because I am enjoying myself too much actually flying.

Cheers,
 
Scott,I know what you mean but I have a cure.....Oculas Rift......Once you try DCS in VR you'll be hooked like a Big fish in a small pond:biggrin-new:.The Cockpits are beyond incredible and the immersion increases 100000000 fold.:jump:I also get up early before work and fly a quick mission,helps me get through my day:dizzy:
 
LOL. Oh; I know Patrick. I have a Rift too, and I AM hooked.

You're right, the immersion is incredible. The first time I flew in the Rift was in the DCS Hawk, and that was also the first time I had flown that plane. What a moment! I just love the sense of scale in the Rift. I once just shadowed a C-17 for about an hour, just mesmerised by it :biggrin-new:.

Cheers,

My brain was fooled to that point!!! Incredible!!:dizzy:
