Shortcut Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 I downloaded a second copy of DCS Openbeta to a different drive the the first one is for VR and I want to use the second for my 2 monitors. With the monitor install I can have DCS running and YouTube on the other for learning. The problem is that both the second copy over wrote the Save Games DCS.Openbata folder. I now have 2 DCS.openbata folders I call "DCS.openbata VR" and "DCS.openbata NV". I need to keep removing the VR or NV from the folders depending which one I'm using. Is there any way to change the Saved Games DCS.openbeta name or have it sent to another folder? I hope I'm explaining this correctly. 13700K, MSI Z690 D4 Edge wifi, Swiftech H360X3 Cooling with Corsair Water Block, Gigabyte 4090 OC, 64gb Trident Z 3600 CL16, Evga 850W G2 power supply, Moza AB9, Virpil Apha Prime, Winwing Orion 2 Viper, TM Warthog, MFG Crosswinds With Damper, TrackIR 5, HP Reverb 2, Pimax Crystal

Make a text file called dcs_variant.txt and inside that one type a string like OpenBeta2 or something, and it should create a new folder under your Saved Games folder like that. Google dcs_variant.txt just to make sure the syntax is correct and that I don't misinform you! Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk

Everything is also plain and clear. How much longer, Ops? The engine’s overheating and so am I. We either stand down or blow up. Which do you want? :pilotfly::pilotfly::pilotfly:
