Key Commands, Axis Assignments, and Graphics, ETC. Settings Swap?

[Chopper1987]

Hello, I just recently revamped my standalone DCS world, and I want to copy over all of my settings from DCS World Steam? Is there a way to do this and how would I do this?

 

I want to copy over my Controls, Sound, Module Setup Configs, and Graphics Settings as well as my General settings too... Thanks!

The Steam and non-Steam version should be using the same Saved Games folder, so it should already use the same settings, though you might have to import the controls settings.

How would I do that?

The Steam version is Beta, and it does share the files with the DCS World Standalone non beta, but the standalone beta does not share those same files. Is there a way to fix that?

The standalone beta files could be copied to the standard Saved Games\DCS folder. The content is identical.

 

I guess you could also point your standard install to the Open Beta Saved Games folder. You do that with a file, in the main DCS folder, called 'dcs_variant.txt'. The contents of that file are are appended to 'DCS.' to create a unique DCS Saved Games folder. If you look in your Open Beta install you can examine the file, and even copy it to your non-beta install.

 

When DCS starts, if that file exists, then DCS will use the Saved Games folder defined by the file, or create the folder, if it does not exist.
