Control bindings reset?

[Skysurfer]

I've just updated and noticed that all my binds for the Tomcat got re-set/deleted. I kinda figured those would either port over or be split into 14B and 14A? A headsup to save em would have been much appreciated.

DITO! Im a little Pissed right now :(

It's unfortunately due to the addition of the -A and to have both use the same keybinds. The alternative would be to have two keybind setups, one for each aircraft.

 

Your keybinds are not deleted though and can be imported for each controller if you rightclick the controller name itself and find and import your old controller keybind file.

Ok thanks, I'll try that.

 

EDIT: But for that to happen I'd have to have my old keybind files saved/backed up?

I was able to load my bindings from the input backups folder in my savedgames folder..seems to be ok now

Just go to controls for F14, click little black triangle near the name of your controller then chose "load profile".

Then you can navigate to saved Games/DCS/COnfig/Input/F-14B and retrieve the appropriateprofile, which you load.

Then enjoy the -A

ok loading profile worked :thumbup: now im Happy again^^

Yep, worked out well. The new binds are just called F-14 and F-14_RIO in the input folder. Old ones are 14B and 14B_RIO.

In my case i didn't lose any keybinds. I just had to add again the 2 modiffiers i had, it took 10 seconds, and all my prev keybinds were OK. X-52 pro

I took a few mins to rebind mine. I think that I've actually improved the usability.

Were there any controls that were deleted? I'm having a problem finding a few I had mapped before.

Just go to %UserProfile%\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input in Windows explorer, select F-14B folder, paste it and rename the copied one to F-14. Same applies for the RIO one. When you're ok with the controls and checked everything you can delete the old F-14B folders.

I just noticed the issue myself without then entering the mapping menu (so nothing was overwritten). Now I'll try to just rename those within the saved games folder. In the module folder, it's still with the B in the names though.

 

Edit: That worked like a charm, all my keyboard bindings are back... guess it's the same for the other devices which I have yet to plug.

 

So basically, just do this:

 

Go to C:\Users\[Your user name]\Saved Games\DCS[.openbeta]\Config\Input

 

And rename F-14B to F-14 and F-14B_RIO to F-14_RIO by just removing the B.

Thank you Eldur for the simplifying it.
