Copying joystick diff.lua from beta to alpha?

[minimi66]

Hi guys,

 

Want to copy my existing TM Warthog config from the Beta to 2.0 Alpha? Can someone tell me which file from where and where it needs to go?

 

Tried what i thought would work but i'm only getting the Default set up in 2.0?

 

I assumed the one i wanted was in Users\Saved Games etc and goes to Mods\aircraft\A-10-C etc?

 

Any help appreciated?

 

Thanks.:megalol:

You'll need to go into config (in game) and save each profile from 1.5. Then go into 2.0 and load each for keyboard, throttle, stick, and I did rudder pedals as well. I just saved them to a temp folder on my c: drive.

Worked for me, hopefully you see the same results.

Not the answer you want to hear but in order to fully test the Alpha you shouldn't be copying anything in from anywhere, or using mods. I know, but we're here to help out ED, right?

You can copy the diff files from Users\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta folder to the corresponding folder of \Saved Games\DCS.openalpha. The structure is the same.

As others have said, this is not advised by ED because as usual there may be bugs and changes they forgot to tell us about. But it worked for me so far.

First and foremost, we are customers and we're here because we have paid for a product. You can act like a professional and responsible tester, although usualy such guys do not pay for the "privilege" to test something, but rather they are paid to do the job. I'm off to have some fun in the meantime.

If you run into issues with your controls, make sure you remember this response, and don't come asking for any help or reporting any bugs on it ;)

Perfect!! Job done, thanks very much indeed!

When you have several joysticks and other hardware like me, the first thing you have to learn is how to solve issues with controls yourself, because you won't get much help from developers anyway.

Er! Blimey, stirred up a bit of a hornets nest there didn't i?

 

Lol!

I just took the time to build mine up from scratch as they suggested. I did not want to have any question if something should happen , was it because I copied my files over. Once I got into there and doing it, did not really take me that long. I just exported my assignments to HTML, and used them to reference as I put the assignments back in. ( first wiped all the default buton assignments out).

 

But I am currently only actively flying the Ka-50, so not like I had a lot of modules to go in and build up at one time.

Lol, it would seem so! Glad you got it sorted. I'm sure you know my reply was just a friendly suggestion, obviously we're all free to do as we wish with our paid for product. :thumbup:

One thing I wish was available (esp now that we have just the one instance of DCSW instead of two) is to be able to remap your controls whilst on a MP server. I always find mapping the A10C the hardest because of the number of functions that need to be mapped, however there's nothing worse than jumping on a MP server, starting up (4 mins) then figuring out you've missed something! NOOOOO.

 

Is it just me or can you not create quick missions in 2.0?

Quick missions don't work, because alpha.
