Bazmack Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Is it possible to Export or backup Controller Profiles so that when doing a full clean reinstall of DCS or OS I don't have to setup controls again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 C:\Users\_username_\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\_modulename_\joystick or keyboard or mouse or trackir Save any file which has .diff.lua extension or simply the entire Input folder. Diff, or difference files record the difference between your personal setup and the default setup. Without those differences your controls will be the defaults.

Weegie Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Yup agree I answered to a somewhat similar question that may allso assist https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=285082 You'll see in that response that I'm now saving profiles before an update, as I think if any modifications work are done to the Keyboard.lua in the game itself the diff.luas aren't recognized and reset everything to default. Unless you check before you exit after the update the defaults are saved and you lose the keybindings. Hence the reason for keeping a backup. Not 100% on that but I'm not the only one to suddenly find that I've lost all my bindings after an update and its really annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later on, I will try again with your information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
