My old control profiles are not working in 2.5


Recommended Posts

I pasted all my old profile files to C:\Users\[username]\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\ and nothing happens. It appears that I have to redo them all from scratch.

 

Does anyone know why that is? It is a bug or the procedure to handle profiles changed?

Did you copy your specific aircraft files, or just the profiles? The profiles must reside in the individual aircraft folders. For example, for the P-51D, the path would be "Input/p-51D/your profiles."

When all else fails, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!

To make sure that I was doing the right thing, I just did one change to the P-51 profile (ingame) and a folder named P-51 was automatically created in the folder "Input". Then I just copied all my aircraft folders and pasted to that folder (Input).

 

The aircraft folders have subfolders named Joystick, Keyboard, Mouse, Trackir.

Should I consider the profiles lost? I think that I did the right thing. The same procedure I did when I bought the Normandy map / and it worked OK.

 

Do someone from DCS check these bug reports? Its been a while.

Go to the control page, highlight the column for your controller, click "load profile" and manually navigate to the .diff.lua file for that device if you can't get the directories figured out.

 

The files should all be in Input/AIRCRAFTNAME/joystick

 

The official stance is not to port your controls between versions so this will not be acknowledged as a bug. Usually, it works, so this is probably some type of user error but if you're having issues the above method should work.

Thanks, I'll give it a try when I have some spare time (I'll return a feedback). If it does not work, I'll redo them sometime in the future.
