[DO NO TRANSFER FILES, MODS, ANYTHING] Settings transfer to openbeta

[Decibel dB]

Hi how do can I transfer my settings from dcs to dcsworld open beta again. I know it was answer before but I can't find the posting anymore.

 

Thanks

The answer was not to transfer anything from 1.2.x to 1.5 because of the switch to Dx11 as well as other things.

(like control assignments that changed, MIG-21 being a prime example)

 

I know, its a pain. But part of the DCS way of life.

Actually, I did not have much problems I just needed to delete the general "config.lua" (not 100% sure about the name - cant check now) and started up the openbeta. I got a strange stretched screen, but I could enter the options, reselect the approriate resolution and since then everything worked fine. There was no need to also delete my controller config and it was ported just fine. I dont have the MIG 21 module though. I can 100% confirm that A10C and HUEY did work flawlessly.

Don't want to encourage bad habits but I saved my 1.2 OB config and pasted it into my 1.5 OB instal and everything worked except for MIG21 throttle assignment. I did this before I saw any posts saying not to and hey it worked for me:)

Worked perfectly for me as well but I don't have the MiG-21.

 

EDIT: And isn't the <config>.diff.lua just storing the difference between default assignments and your likings? I would suspect so. Transfer off all .diff.lua between versions should work fine? Or?

I copied across my diff.lua control files or just imported them via the controller menu (not as quick, but lets you quickly scan down the list, one at a time, to check all is okay).

 

I didn't do this for aircraft that have had relevant changes implemented in 1.5 - just the 'old timers' .

 

FC3 aircraft, A-10C, Ka-50 - that sort of thing.

 

the newer, still in beta, modules I entered manually.

 

No issues thus far.

I fixed it by copying my conf folder from my C:\Users\dB\Saved Games\DCS and paste it on my C:\Users\dB\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta

New control options were added to some if not all FC3 aircraft. In the F-15 at least there are now anti-collision lights and bingo bug controls. Anti-collision I could see being an across the board addition.
