jasonstory44 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Hi guys, I was curious, this is the first time I am gonna run a beta parallel to the current version. Is it possible to copy or import my current pilot/pilot log to the new beta install when it is released? I know I have to redo inputs, reinstall missions and kneeboards etc. Also is there any way to continue a campaign in progress or does that need to be restarted with the beta install?

HiJack Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Just copy all settings and files from saved games/dcs to the saved games/open beta folder and there you have it! :D

JughedJones Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Wait.... So all I have to do is copy every single file in my save games to the dcs beta save games? Ctrl c ctrl v and I get all my inputs, missions, kneeboards etc??

jasonstory44 Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 Thanks for the advice guys! BSS I've heard its a good idea to run in parallel in case the beta has some major bugs...Just a temporary thing.

JughedJones Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 So, if I copy and paste all my saved game files to Open Beta Saved Game, I get all my inputs, missions, kneeboards, etc?

NeilWillis Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Yes, unless something has changed fundamentally within one of the Beta saved games files. With such an in depth upgrade, it is a distinct possibility, so back up the Beta saved games folder, then try to migrate the standard one. If you encounter any glitches, that way you at least have a route back to the original settings by reinstalling the backed up copy.
SharpeXB Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 The change log mentions an update to the Pilot Logbook so I'm curious if just pasting the old logbook in from the previous version will work.

HiJack Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Yes, I didn't understand this at first either but keep the regular DCS install nice and tight so you always can game with that one. Only use Open Beta to test! It will have bugs! Even big bugs!
Scooternutz Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Do it now because both builds are the same I believe. I can join multiplayer and join/host with either one. I copied my config, saved games, and skins over with no issues. I am sure once 1.5 is released we may have to be a little more reserved as to what we copy over in mass. Just my .02.

grunf Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Its recommended not to copy that stuff over, especially profiles. Oops, too late for me. I already did it... :(
ED Team NineLine Posted September 30, 2015 ED Team Posted September 30, 2015 Oops, too late for me. I already did it... :( The fix for that would be to remove the folders, start the Open Beta and let it recreate the folders... or you can wait and try, but if you have issues, you will be do that anyways.
