How do I do a reinstall?

[Mrmaverick]

My DCS spat it when I updated it to 1.2.9.

so ive changed the folder name to Eagle Dynamics-original , then installed a new 1.2.9 version.

now is there a chance i can copy the files from my original to my new install ?

I have all the modules except the Dora and sabre.(havnt bought them yet)

If i can do this can someone tell me what folders and files I have to copy over for my modules and also my joystick control settings?

 

I have the discs for black shark and A-10c warthog. the mustang was there in the module manager so thats done.

so its just the huey,Mi 8, FC3 and combined arms to go.

I purchased all those modules from this site and not steam.

 

Any help would be great, Cheers.

Your controls and so on are not located in the game folder but under C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\DCS; Your new install should recognize this folder and use it, so your control settings will remain. For the modules, I'm not sure, but I guess the easiest solution is downloading the current files from the website or use the built in download manager

OK, i have got all the modules back, used the module manager and installed them again.

Now dose anyone know were the files are kept for the downloaded training files so I can copy them over instead of re downloading them again? my original install is a bit of a mess with files everywhere from not knowing where to put them.

I'm in the same jumble, before I updated to 1.2.9 I noticed some funky aircraft models, and my partition got corrupted later and the repair function doesn't fix the corrupt files. I think the best option is to re-download from scratch. Would I need to de-activate my license first?
