DCS user folder - how to change location?

[Jinker]

As title says: how can I make DCS write the user folder somewhere else than in Saved Games?

Unfortunately that does not answer my question. That thread shows how to create additional user folder in Saved Games. What I would like to do is, instead, have my user folder somewhere else than in Saved Games.

Sorry I misunderstood your question ... DCS will always create its user folder on Saved Games, but once created you can move it somewhere else and then put a hard link to that location.

 

 

For example, lets asume that your DCS' user folder is at \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\ and you want to move it to drive D:\

 

 

The first step is move the folder DCS.openbeta to D, you will end up with a D:\DCS.openbeta folder and on Saved Games there should be no folder with that name.

 

 

The next step is to open a command windows (by running cmd.exe) and then navigate to C:\Users\your user\saved games

 

 

Finally, run this command: MKLINK /J DCS.openbeta D:\DCS.openbeta

 

 

This will create a link on saved games, that looks like a DCS.openbeta folder, but its actually a link to D:\DCS.openbeta

 

 

Best regards
