Not sure what's going on, but now it will not save the kneeboard placement on my system. I removed the profile and re-added it from scratch, but it doesn't want to work. I'm running 3 screens.

Yes, I have the TM HOTAS Warthog & trying to set it up with A-10C. You just helped me big time. Nowhere does it say that you can't use .lua files anymore. They still have user-made device profiles in the download section of DCS website, but they're old and use .lua files for keyboard, not dif.lua. However, someone new to DCS will not know this (like me). The TARGET portion of the profile seemed to work fine, but the keyboard file will not map properly and I could not figure out how to make it work. I guess I'll just have to ga back to square one and learn how to code my own profile from scratch, instead of using someone else's. Was hoping to avoid having to start from scratch. I haven't seen any profiles yet that use dff.lua files, but then I haven't looked that well either. I just got TIR5 today and am trying to get that setup now. Thanks for your help! Just knowing the game has evolved releases and .lua files no longer work helps a lot.

I'm new to DCS and have the TS HOTAS stick & throttle and I'm trying to load a custom profile. I was looking in DCS device files and I found a profile that I want to use (i.e. TMC, TTM, Keyboard.lua, and Thrustmaster Combined file). The issue I don't understand is these profiles only have a .LUA file for the keyboard, but DCS keeps looking for a .diff.lua file? I don't understand why the difference. How do I get DCS to load a .LUA file & not a .DIFF.LUA? Is the file extension .diff.lua due to a newer version of DCS, whereas the profile I am trying to use was created in an older version and the file naming convention has changed? I running 1.5.5, but the profile I am trying to use was created over two years years ago in 7/2015. I tried deleting all keyboard commands, except one (you have to make at least one assignment or it will not let you save the profile), but that didn't work either. I feel like there's something stupid I'm missing and I can't figure it out. What am I doing wrong? I tried putting the contents of the .LUA file from the profile I want to use into a .diff.lua file and portions of the profile worked, but others simply did not or did not work as they should. I keep thinking the .diff file extension equals "different than default A-10C SIM assignments" and maybe the profile .lua file I'm trying to use doesn't match up exactly. I don't know... I can run the target software and I finally figured out hot to create a combined device ID (that took forever), but this last piece is beyond my understanding. Any help is super appreciated as I've been messing with this for days now...
