Just purchased TrackIR 5. How can I use the 60% discount through Steam?

[JuggernautOfWar]

I'd like to use the 60% discount to purchase the Huey module. Is it possible to do this through the Steam store? If not, how do I link the DCS store purchase to my Steam DCS? Thanks!

I'm not sure what discount you are talking about, if that is the ED bonus then it is only available through DCS webshop.

Purchases from DCS webshop are no longer merged into Steam:

My DCS World is in Steam, along with all of my Steam purchased modules. I got a "60% off any DCS module" purchase coupon along with my TrackIR 5 in the mail. I'm just asking how to use this coupon to buy the Huey module and have it all work in the same client.

I suggest you ask the question in the 'Payment and activation' section in the ED forums. I'm sure someone can help you there.

Ok, that clarifies it a bit.
Does it say where the coupon can be used?
DCS/ED webshop or something?

If it is not coupon for Steam then you are out of luck as key merges into Steam are not done any more.

I think I remember finding out before (but not 100% sure, and can't find it with the search) but it looks like that coupon isn't something that works with the Steam edition - sorry..

I think ED should give you the option to get a steam key when buying from their store. Oh well I guess I'll download the non-steam game then.

Can't give a key we don't control. Valve is the retailer on Steam, ED has no control over keys allocated to Steam prior to purchase - and unfortunately Steam no longer accepts database mergers from external sources of DCS sales (like the ED webshop).

It's unfortunate, but as far as I know that coupon only works on the ED store, unless otherwise stated on it. Purchases made on the ED store will not be importable into the Steam distribution. HOWEVER: do note that purchases made on the Steam platform IS importable into the ED distribution! So you won't end up needing two DCS World installs, you'd just no longer be using Steam. (However, do note that you can still access it throug steam, and have overlay etc working, through adding the non-steam distribution as a "non-steam game" in your Steam library. Autoupdates etcetera will still work, just not using Steam servers, rather ED's own system.)

although unofficial you may still be able to copy the entire aircraft folder into steam install (once activated through the standalone) and be able to fly it in the steam version.

although do not expect any support and this could already have been broken by previous updates.

an example to this was when i had huey on steam version before steam sold the huey dlc... as i said though do not expect support from ED or the discussion boards for any problems that may occur from this, and for most its to much work to run the standalone to update and recopy files into the steam install.

just throwing this out there incase you wish to keep using the steam version with all your modules (although not much point i admit)
