Copied both files (lua and dlg), installed both into saved game folders. It worked until I changed the font size in the LUA file. Since I did that it wont work AT ALL...
I have since deleted the files, copied and pasted fresh ones literally a dozen times now, tried it on DCS Beta, used notepad ++, repaired DCS, reinstalled DCS, and it still does not work...
I find it strange how it was working just fine until I opened the one file (deleted and replaced by original file multiple times now) just to change the font size setting.
I suspect that Windows is somehow to blame for this, probably not reading the extensions properly since opening them or something. However, I even made sure that lua and dlg files are opened from notepad by default.
I am very confused on what is going on here, have been racking my brain for hours now. Is there something wrong with the registry or something??? Do I need a clean install of windows!!!!
