How do I export keybinds from one computer to another?

[orcbuster]

Hi, I was just wondering if there is a file I can copy to transfer my control keybinds to another computer without having to do it manually in game.

 

 

I have some 12 planes in total and doing them all sounds a bit tedious so was wondering if there was a way. :joystick:

Copy your Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input folder and move it to the new computer in the same location.

 

 

DCS will use these files if it finds them at startup. Otherwise it reverts to the default files.

You can also export your settings from the controls menu. This function allows you to export the settings per aircraft and per device (e.g. A-10C Joystick would be one file, A-10C Throttle would be another file). I use this function to backup my settings from time to time...

This only works if the IDs of the devices stay the same. I don't think that's the case, so you have to rename the diff.lua files afterwards.

Hope no one minds me barging in. Just tried this on a freshly installed computer and DCS is not seeing my keybindings for some reason. Is there a file to point to them or something?

ok folks if you go to x52 top column you can load the profile directly :-)
