I lost Flaming Cliffs 3
There is no sign of Flaming Cliffs 3 in the new start-up menu, nor in the game itself. It just vanished completely. Still shows as a DLC and ticked in the library properties though?

My son also has DCS World & FC3, and on his PC most of the Flaming Cliffs 3 aircraft are there, but the Su-25 is missing. The free Su-25T is there, but not the Su-25.

FC3 has now moved to individual aircraft, so no longer in a pack and the FC3 pack will become legacy. Your aircraft will continue to work as individual and the team will make it clearer that the fc3 is no longer to be used.

You can also upgrade to FC2024 which is an optional upgrade.

if you are still having issues with licences and FC3 please contact our support directly

I think fc3 no longer exists but you should still be able to redownload them as individual aircraft from the new launcher.

The jets are all separate for me, the SU-25A now has A designation

FC3 aircraft are now missing?
I am assuming there is some way to reactivate the aircraft we have in FC3 (older)? since this new release, I don't have any of them showin on my DCS (SU-27, MIG-29, etc). It doest register that I own them. Is there a way to reactivate these?

Check your steam library. Check the DLC is marked as installed

F 14 module has crashed. Now it is blocked for 3 hours, and disappeared, too. what's going on?

The following DLCs are not authorized and will be
disabled:
F-14

So, I did the old "verify integrity of game files" trick and had to wait 2 hours for it to complete (testament to all the DLC I have). Now at least my Flaming Cliffs 3 aircraft show up individually in the new start menu, under "Available". But no matter how many times I tick and install them. They refuse to move over to "Installed" and they remain unavailable in the game.

Am I the only one who hates this new start menu nonsense already!?

I'm the same as Crossbone. FC3 is now greyed out, but all of the planes appear individually in the modules shown at the bottom of the main DCS screen (once loaded). The individual wallpapers for each are quite cool. FC upgrade is showing in the DLC to buy at £8.18.

Different question - I've been loading up using the MT Preview for ages. Should I still do so, what is the difference between the main DCS World and MT Preview these days?

FC3 aircrafts are still available in game.

Not for me. They are completely absent. I can see them as "available" in the new start menu, but they refuse to be installed. In-game the FC3 aircraft icons are greyed out on the wallpaper and clicking on them, the only option is to buy them again!?

And yes, Flaming Cliffs 3 is ticked as DLC in the Steam library

The FC3 drama continues!
With the latest update 2.9.6., ED simply removed my purchased FC3 and inserted the individual modules.

When I start the game, this is shown:

Authorization is valid for 2d 23h 59m

The following DLCs are not authorized and will be
disabled:

Su-25
A-10A
F-15C
Su-33
MiG-29
Su-27

Of course I don't own any of them, just FC3.

If something doesn't change soon, I won't buy any more modules!

Do you use steam or stand alone version?
