Started all over with new install, but first I renamed old install and the DCS folder in 'Saved Games" located in 'My Documents to protect it before the install of the new installation.
That did not work, I guess I don't understand how to make that text file work.
I then took my Mods folder from old install and copied it into my new install
I ran those to get my modules to install into the new installation.
Once that was done I deleted the new DCS folder in "Saved Games" and renamed my original back to DCS
Fired up the game, and began reintroducing my Input files back to the config of each aircraft. That is the most annoying thing of all this, so many updates in the past forced this, and something like this requires it also.
Why or is there a easier way I just don't know. :(
to get this new install with no decent broadband required installing it on a laptop with an external HD, and borrowed broadband in town.
Then taking that materiel and transferring it to my gaming machine. So all the above was basically done with the laptop.
Short installing DCS world in both machines so I could get the shortcuts in my Start Menu. On my Gamer I just stopped the download so I didn't waste my allotted 50gig a month and then the introduction of the input files after it was all transferred into my gaming PC.
I have my actual install "X:\DCS World\bin\DCS.exe" in a separate SSD drive from my OS so if you do that you have that to consider when setting up.
