In spite of all these various ways to get through the vast array of controller setups and profiles, I completely agree with zhukov032186 that an overhaul is overdue. Veterans already have their hours in the controls so they don't feel the pain anymore. And it's not about novices with a controller as zhukov032186 also mentioned. Most flight sim novices won't even touch a sophisticated sim like this one so why even consider catering to them? The focus and effort and design and for all the points zhukov032186 made, clearly there needs to be a quicker way to setup the game for sophisticated setups. Currently, I only have about 10 aircraft and 3 controllers. But five years ago when I had more space and was fully setup, I had 5 controllers and several other input devices and it was an absolute nightmare. I spent more time in the setup than I did flying and learning the planes. So I can totally understand zhukov032186 's point and I agree with his point of view not just accept it because we have to cater to novices. DCS/ED needs to cater to real pilots, advanced sim pilots, and sophisticated setups, period.

You are correct! I turned off V-Sync and now my FPS is closer to 140...thanks!

Actually, I was looking at the saved games...\input folder. Isn't it possible to just simply save a copy of that folder and name that folder something like "Base Install" so that I can just bring that folder back if it all goes haywire. And just build versions of that folder for backing up all the controller profiles. Would that work?

So one last question because with all the posts on what gets saved when you save a profile, I just need a clear understanding on what each profile saves. When I select an aircraft/mode then click on a column for a column for a controller and click Save Profile----Is that just saving that one controller settings for the given aircraft mode? In essence, I need a profile for each controller for every single aircraft/mode, correct? 3 controllers, 10 aircraft = 30 profiles...is that correct?

Greetings - I stand corrected. cichlidfan, it appears you are correct. The only drop down item that does not get cleared is the axis commands. Thank you.

Greetings - Now that I am looking at it, I understand the Clear Category clears the controller column chosen per Aircraft/mode and per the option in the drop down like Axis Commands, Autopilot, etc. But the point here is that When you select the aircraft/mode, we have to go through each drop down item one at a time Axis, Flight, View, and click on Clear Category for the particular controller chosen. We should be able to select Aircraft/Mode, then select ALL in the drop down, then select the controller and not only will all the assignments get cleared from the column, but also all the items in the drop down because we chose ALL. We have to go through every single drop down item and clear category for every single item for every single aircraft/mode. The clear All does not clear ALL the items in the drop down for the selected controller. I hope this is very clear now. Thank you.

ok, thanks. I'll try it all again tonight after work.

cichlidfan - I know it works for one single category at a time like the axis or the view, i.e. a single subcategory of an aircraft/mode. I am talking about the entire aircraft/mode. Thank you for your input but it does not address my issue. firmek-Amazingly, I already did that. I made a backup of the saved games\...input. Then I deleted the unwanted controller from all the aircraft/modes in each folder. But then when I started DCS back up, it basically repopulated everything back to defaults with all settings again. So that didn't do anything other than restore all the defaults.

I am sure there is something on this somewhere. But why doesn't the ALL work in the controller setup? If you select a single aircraft/mode, then select ALL, one still has to go through every single subcategory to actually clear the category. Why can't we just select aircraft/mode, ALL, clear category and ALL gets cleared for that aircraft/mode? It is still very cumbersome to go through every single aircraft/mode even for general and have to go into each subcategory to clear category. In essence, why doesn't the "ALL" actually show ALL subcategories so we can clear ALL for the selected aircraft/mode?

I have a 2560x1440p 144hz monitor. And the font size of the FPS counter via Rctrl-Pause is really small and hard to see in red. is there any way to at least increase the font size of the FPS counter? Also, I should be getting more than 60 FPS but it is just pegged at 60FPS. Is there a setting somewhere to allow for higher frame rates closer to my 144hz monitor?

Actually, I need to update my sig because it is over 5 years old. I just built another awesome system. But thanks for letting me know it needs updated. :)

That was absolutely the problem. It is all high resolution now. Thank you very much!

When I am inside the cockpit the resolution both inside and outside looking out is excellent. But when I am in the chase view, everything on the ground and all the scenery everywhere is very blurry. Is there any reason for this or do I need to change the settings somehow? I tried turning off all the heat blur modes but nothing helped. It's like the scenery is in 240kx240k in the chase view.

Thank you very much!

Maybe this has been answered somewhere in the forum, but I cannot find it. Is it possible to have a shortcut to load VR mode and another shortcut to load monitor mode? I cannot believe I have to go all the way in to uncheck VR to then completely reload it for the monitor and vice versa. Is there a way to just go into the mode VR or Monitor for what I want?
