Profile Overwrite

[TheD3vil]

Hola guys.

 

So I went through the painstaking task of creating my keybinds for my X-55 and saving in the controls section of the DCS UI. It created the .lua I noticed today that DCS would not recognize a keypress all of a sudden. I made sure the HOTAS software was recognizing it to make sure it wasn't a hardware issue. I then decide to just try to load my .lua file and in doing so, it deleted all my keybinds save for one hat switch. I've encountered this before.

 

Any help on this?

I might've found my issue maybe.

 

Let's say I wanted to save a keybind change to my stick. After I make the binding I have to be actively in my X-55 Saitek Stick column, then save, and then remember that save is only for the STICK. If I make a change to my Throttle, I have to do it that same way. Saving doesn't save one global profile, correct? It saves for each column that's highlighted.

 

Confirm?

I think you can save off the entire profile, but I don't use it, so I'm not 100% sure w/o looking at the config menu.

 

 

 

But you'll find that DCS' update sometimes messes with the configuration. For example, it might assign pitch, rudder, throttle to any and all USB devices. It can be a pain in the butt. What I do is to backup my "C:\users\your_username\Saved Games"

 

 

 

Every time I make a change, I save it off. But here's the catch. Just be mindful that if you use an auto backup program, be sure to save off more than one version. You want to be able to go back at least one version in case the last backup already is a copy of the "bad" config. I hope that makes sense.

Understood. Thanks much, Hans!
