What folders do I delete??

[Jackdaws]

Hi all,

 

Can somebody please tell me what folders/files i need to delete from the following screen cap to ensure the new shader files etc are updated for the new dcs2?

 

I didn't want to delete the whole thing as i want to keep my settings etc.

 

Thanks!

I was having some problems with DCS 2.1 running. Got some freeze-ups and long loading times. What i did was determine that my Nvidia drivers were out of date so I updated them. And did this, to answer your question.

 

 

Go into your Saved Games, DCS.openalpha folder and rename it. Start the simulation (it will create a whole new folder. Then go into the renamed folder under the "Config" folder and copy tour "input" files into the newly created DCS.openalpha "Config" folder. This will save all you inputs for aircraft set-ups. You will have to reset your main simulation settings such as textures, traffic, etc.

 

 

Maybe someone else can tell you what file will keep your settings, I just reset mine.

There is a whole lot more in there besides input. Missions, campaign progress, custom knee boards, logbook, etc. I'd be careful with that folder. Would be better to know specifics, which I do not.

Yes, there are other things such as screenshots, kneeboard, possibly liveries and mission depending where you savrd or installed them to. As long as you renamed the folder and NOT deleted it, you can copy those over just like the input file. For me, I save my missions and liveries in the main program folder under the approiate file structure. I should have mentioned this at the time.

I thought this worked for me, but it didn't, when I play a mission I've made (even a new small one I did tonight in Normandy) the stuttering is still really bad.

 

I had been fooled by playing the Constant Peg mission after renaming the folder (then re-importing my inputs etc) and it ran fine, but no user made mission runs well. Good luck though.

If you're doing this just to test shaders and such are working, don't delete anything.

 

Just rename it.

 

DCS will then generate a new one.

 

You can then copy the input folders over if you want to keep your keybinds.

as noted, just rename it! you'll always have the original as a backup.
