woodsglen Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Where do I find the Games Folder?? Is there a Games Folder for Each Aircraft? I have not used the Sim much at all, only a couple weeks way back in the spring. I've searched through all the directories ( and looked through threads here ) and can't find any directory structures ( they usually are not complete paths...) I assume there is a games folder in 1.2.8?? thanks
cichlidfan Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 I am not sure what you are trying to find but the folder for each aircraft is in DCS\Mods\aircraft while CA is in DCS\Mods\tech.

woodsglen Posted September 30, 2014 Author Posted September 30, 2014 I'm going to reload my profiles for my p51 that got wiped out between 1.2.7 and 1.2.8 they said to save my profile in the games folder - so I went looking for it ( just so I'd know where it was ). I started at PRogram files/eagle dynamics and started rooting aroudn from there but have not found a games folder yet? ( or does one get created and I just have not created one yet ? ) Really confusing when you have no clue what you're doing!
woodsglen Posted September 30, 2014 Author Posted September 30, 2014 I just went into the path dscworld/mods/aircrafts/p51D - i see missions, options, input, etc. no games.
woodsglen Posted September 30, 2014 Author Posted September 30, 2014 I don't have a .... mods/tech folder either... I was going to load some profiles i had on a flash drive before 1.2.8 wiped out my profiles in the sim... but when I went in there ( ages ago) it was not really clear where to save them ( and I was in training at the time ( take offs and landings.) I had profiles that worked and wanted to get them set up so the merge to 1.2.10 would modify them automatically... otherwise if if I go to 1.2.10 without any custom LUA files I'll have to modify the files by hand with the new "prefix" that is added ( IIRCC )
cichlidfan Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Not 'Games' but 'Saved Games' which is a folder created by Windows. It is located in C:\Users\<yournamehere>. There is a folder in Saved Games called DCS, which is where your profiles are located. The default profiles are in Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\<aircraft> Profiles that you saved before v1.2.8 will not work with the current version of the sim. You will have to recreate them.

AtaliaA1 Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 I just went into the path dscworld/mods/aircrafts/p51D - i see missions, options, input, etc. no games. The suggestion in the thread U are referring to said install path should have been C:\Games upon being asked were U wanted to install DCS. that option isn't available to U now that U have installed it to its default location of e.g.. C:\ Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin or what ever U chose at the time. This was a Boutique Builder iBuypower rig.
