Profiles between DCS World versions

[scotth6]

Hi,

 

I was just wondering if it possible to use lua profiles between versions of DCS World. The reason I ask is because I just tried to load a profile I saved yesterday in DCS World 2 for the F-15C in to DCS World 1.5 Open Beta. It didn't seem to work. For some reason whenever I load a new aircraft I haven't flown before, or for a while in the newer versions of DCS World, my controls are all over the place. I just loaded up an instant start flight in DCS World Beta and my thrust moves my rudder etc etc. I had the same thing in DCS World 2 yesterday and spent an hour or two setting up my various controls. It's really annoying to not even have basic controls without going through the whole process every time I want to fly a different aircraft.

 

Shouldn't the lua profile I saved work in another version?

You have to copy the input folder that is in your "user/save games/dcsxxx/mods/aircraft", then just insert that into the other version.

If you copy the one in the DCS install folder nothing will happen.

 

This work for me atleast.

That worked really well Lobinjaevel, thanks.

 

Originally I tried to just load the saved lua profile from the controls section in the game menu, and that's what did not work.

 

Using your method of copying and pasting the actual input folder in to the different DCS World version solved the issue.

 

BTW, I found my Input folder in "User/Saved Games/DCSxxx/Config/Input".

 

Thanks again for the help.

That's the right folder, wasn't at my computer so sorry about that.

I've copied the same folder as you at first many times ;)

 

Glad I could help,

Cheers!
