DCS BETA and Standard Install Questions

[T_O_A_D]

Ok,

So I've been reading, and it is possible to only have one install to save HD space, and a command prompt to switch back and forth, anyone doing that?

From what I understand you can use the same Saved Game folder with all your settings with no issues between the two???

I also sort of think it requires a separate folder for those so it doesn't interfere. I"M Scared LOL

I also found a Prog that lets you skip the command prompts but it looks like it actually wants two completely different installs.

I used to run two complete separate installs and GOT VERY FRUSTRATED WITH ALL CONSTANT BACKING UP AND RE-FIGURING.

Ooops, sorry for the caps.

To be honest Todd DCS is only going to get bigger and bigger so a drive maybe an M2 would be best way to deal with it and use SkateZillas updater to switch.

Yes, i used to do it before i got my new hard drive.

You use the 2 links TOAD linked above. You install the prog in the second link, and then you can run the command prog in the first, and it will download the difference, between which way your switching. 

If you have fast internet and no data limit worries it works well, otherwise it will be less useful.

I  figured out I could just copy my saved game and then rename it and direct it to the renamed folder via this prog. 😎
