Win 10 update completely hosed my computer and can no longer boot into windows spent last three weeks trying to rectify this but no joy. Finally bit the bullet and bought a new (and better machine) ;-)... while I still had some hair left! Now not sure what to do. can't deactivate my modules( I have all of them except three plus Nevada for pre purchasing the A10 So how do I go about reinstalling every thing into the new rig? Any help would be appretiated

I have never deactivated a single DCS module before reinstalling. Had a HD crash last year and installed everything new, no problems. IIRC you get 10 activations per module and when those run out, a new one once a month.

My suggestion would be to download the latest version of DCS World, log in, go to the module manager in DCSW and download&activate all modules.

Hi Parra_Bellum, One of the first things I did was download DCS world (been going through withdrawals this past month) and installed and the box came up with all my modules checked but when I clicked OK it said had to install bs1 first (gonna have to dig through the basement to find that sucker!)Now it was late and maybe I missed something but I should be able to fly the SU25 at least Or P51 no? Only options I getting are encyclopedia and exit, instant action is greyed out

Hey ishbu, make sure to download the release version, which is 1.5 and comes with the Caucasus/Black Sea map.

2.0 open alpha only supports the NTTR map, which you have to buy first.
