A-10 reinstall & setup assistance requested

[AvgWhiteGuy]

I had a total system crash and have now rebuilt my whole system with new components. I have the old HD now running as a secondary drive as I replaced it as a bootdrv with a 480SSD, still running Win7 64bit.

 

I installed DCS World version 1.5.2.48726; is that the latest?

 

What do I need to do to use the new Nevada Test Range; that's home to me?

 

I've reinstalled all the following hardware and would like to maintain their previous config settings; it was all finally dialed in.

Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS

Thrustmaster MFDs

Saitek Pro Cessena Pedals

Tracker IR5

Razer Orbweaver

 

Can someone tell me where I might find all these config/profiles? They were all installed/configured in default locations and I can access the old drive with no problems.

 

Hope to be airborne soon.

 

Appreciate any help :)

input settings can be found at users\yournamehere\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input

If you copy that dir and place it/overwrite the newly install then all your input is as it was before.

 

TrackIR can be found at drive\Program Files (x86)\Natural Point\TrackIR5\Profiles

 

To use the NTTR: you need the terrain mod which can be bought in the ED shop. Good luck.

 

Note: if you didn't update the old 1.2 version to 1.5, the first folder structure needs to be \Saved Games\DCS World\etc

Also, NTTR is only available in the DCS World 2.0 Alpha. If you still want to fly in the Caucasus region, you can do a parallel install of both 1.5 and 2.0.

Thanks folks, got almost everything up and running successfully.

Just need to grab the old TrackIR5 file since that was one that was really dialed in.

Also need to find the Razer Orbweaver configuration since I had virtually eliminated any keyboard use by using that mini keyboard.

 

I'll get some hours in before I get the NTTR but that should be really nice since I'm in China now and completely unfamiliar with the Caucasus region.

 

One other issue I'm confused about....every time I fly a mission it starts as a external chase view with my MFDs superimposed on the top corners of my screen. I can't get out of that view no matter what keys I press. I can't even change the MFD views

 

Any assistance, always appreciated

Also need to find the Razer Orbweaver configuration

 

Razer Synapse should pull that from its servers.

[AvgWhiteGuy]

Harzach, thanks...forgot all about that, I thought it was a pain in the aft to be required to use their server to do all my setup and backup but it should payoff this time.

That's the one thing I haven't installed yet.

 

Thanks again

It seems like you're in game mode.

[AvgWhiteGuy]

Interesting, I've never consciously selected GameMode, I'll check that out.

What made me think it was some type of corruption was my flight controls were screwed up; it looked like I had my stick pushed full left on takeoff, the ailerons were completely whacked out. I had no rudder or front wheel control.

 

Again, I'll check that out and thanks for the tip.
