ozTRipwiRE Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Hi, I have a question regarding how to properly overwrite ‘init.lua’ files in the setup of a touchscreen with Cap Loz’s A10C Helios profile. I am going through the steps (following draft A of DerekM’s guide) and need to overwrite some of the original ‘init.lua’ files (found under, ‘DCSWorld\Mods\aircrafts\A-10C \Cockpit\Scripts\’ ) with ones written up by PeterP and saved into his file on the forums called ‘All_Exports_ON_for A-10C_and_Ka-50_in _DCS World -1.2.5.rar’. DerekM’s guide said to go to the section of these files by PeterP called, ‘..\A10C installed\1. MFCDs in Cockpit ON\DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\A-10C\Cockpit\Scripts\’ and copy some ‘ init.lua’ files from there into the ‘DCSWorld\Mods\aircrafts\A-10C \Cockpit\Scripts\’ section, overwriting the original ‘init.lua’ files. My question is exactly how do I copy these new ‘init.lua’ files by PeterP into the ‘DCSWorld\Mods\aircrafts\A-10C \Cockpit\Scripts\’section and overwrite the original ‘init.lua’ files? I made a copy of one of PeterP’s ‘init.lua’ files and tried to drag it over the original ‘init.lua’ file in the ‘DCSWorld\Mods\aircrafts\A-10C \Cockpit\Scripts\’ ) section but this just copied it into the same folder without removing the original. Does the fact that I changed the name to keep track of which is which create a problem? I also tried to copy the one by PeterP and paste it over the original ‘init.lua’ file but this still did not remove the original also. How do I go about properly overwriting these ‘init.lua’ files with the new ones? Do I do what I have already done and just delete the original ‘init.lua’ file? What do I do now? I am not very experienced at all with this type of thing so any help is very much appreciated. I have attached a file showing the folders that I am trying to overwrite to and from and also the page from the guide that I am working on, which might help to explain what I am getting at.
