Oh that's where I was getting hooked up, I interpreted it as it creating the files inside the scripts folder and it was just pointing in the general direction that it would be in saved games and not the main install. Understood.
However would just like to point out after 2 full DCS reinstalls, half a dozen mod reinstalls and dozens of DCS launches, this folder was never created. Unfortunately I couldn't be able to tell you right away if it was a security setting of mine, windows 11, or idk. I had just done a fresh reformat last week and updated to win11 so parts of it are still a bit raw to me.
I can confirm however that I just created the folder straight in the directory, moved over the 2 test txt files I made and they showed up right away, big thanks guys. I'd rather have done something wrong, eat the fault and spend time figuring it out than stumble off blaming the mod when it wasn't its fault.
