Quick Tutorial for copying controls over


philstyle

Recommended Posts

This is what I have in the [Config] Input folder. Did I miss something? Can I copy all the folders and paste at the 2.0 folder (which has the same content of the photo by the way)?

 

I am not using the saved games tab (Win 7) because I don't know this feature. I am looking at the root folders.

your input folder is in your saved games location not your root folder

 

example

 

C:\Users\bignewy\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input

Yea, this is way better than manually inputting all of the button assignments and axis curves. Thanks a lot for the info!

 

...Now if I can just get Normandy to install...

Has anyone tried to link these folders with mklink?

If you make a link instead of copy the folder/files every change you make in dcs 1.5 will also be available in dcs 2.1 and vice versa.

But this will work only if the config file format of both versions is compatible.

If dcs 2.1 will convert the files in the new format if it reads it and find the old format, dcs 1.5 cannot load them later.

So anyone tested this kind of control file sharing?

The DCS openalpha does not have an input folder, just the Config one. I did not change anything on Controls on the openalpha.

 

Can I copy and paste the whole Input folder from 1.5 to 2.1?

Since the Options.lua is different between 1.5 and 2.1, that will cause problems.

As a feedback to other newbies, after a while I kind of suspected that I had to plug the G940 and set some things for the Input folder to show up. Now I got it. Perhaps tonight I'll fly on the map for the first time.

Sorry, what options.lua do you mean? The one in the Config folder? What if we just link the input folder?
