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.

Yes, in the root folder of your second installation. 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!

just as a remark, you might want to "manage" these 2 open betas via

The DCS Updater GUI / Launcher Utility

To prevent such issues (or rather any further issues)

 

Agreed, brilliant utility for DCS. 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?
