Switching to Non-Steam DCS. Advice?

[Mtnbiker1998]

So I'm looking into switching over to non-steam DCS. I had a few questions and was hoping someone could help me out.

 

1. Can I transfer over all my settings, control mappings and pilot logbooks to the new DCS? I'd hate to have to go through all that stuff again.

 

2. Since I already have the dcs files downloaded from steam, can I transfer those files to avoid the lengthy download again?

 

3. How will this affect the JSGME mod loader?

 

4. Can I add DCS to Steam as a non-Steam game to get the overlay and screenshot function back?

 

Looking forward to finally exploring Nevada and the Mirage, and the newly released F-5! :pilotfly:

Thanks for your help!

 

EDIT: Alternatively, I'm considering buying Nevada and using 2.0 Non Steam, then fully switching over when the 2.5 merge occurs. Would this be a good approach?

1 + 4: Yes.

2: Probably.

3: Pass

So I have 2.0 installed and added to Steam as a non steam game. all modules from steam activated themselves automagically (Thanks ED!). I have yet to buy Nevada so I'll have to test them later (Will do later tonight). I figure I can put in my control mappings via the "Load profile" option, so I'm not too worried about that, Logbooks I honestly don't care much about, and other settings I'll just go through again, that's not too hard. JSGME I will also screw with later.

 

So Far my transition is going smooth.
