A little help with lost of all key bindings...

[Pally]

Hi guys:

 

I just updated the Open Beta to latest. After entering game, I checked the key binding section and discovered I have lost all bindings. I have updated before and this had never happened. Is there anything I can do now to recover it? I did make a backup copy of it from last update. I also copy and pasted that old back up to new ones in the "Saved Game" folder for DCS, but it still won't populate the old key bindings.

 

I mean, oh boy... a little help! Thanks in advance.

You can load your Profile from the F-14B (C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input) ;)

Go to the Control Options then choose F-14B > Click on a column header (ex. keyboard) > Click on Load Profile > Navigate the file structure and choose keyboard... Do this for each column > joystick, throttle, etc.....

Does this require a saved profile for us to load though?

yes it would.

 

Unfortunately, since Heatblur added some new key binds they had to over write your old ones. It wasn't really a surprise, IIRC it was in the patch notes.

Seriously? Sigh - I haven't opened the game yet, because I don't want to lose all of my keybinds. I'm guessing there's nothing I can do? Unfrickingbelievable if true.

Using the import, a bunch of binding appeared, but they were all screwed up for my VKB MCG Pro as if randomly assigned. Very strange.

 

My best fix was to rename my saved files from <user>\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input from F-14B to F-14 (after backing it up first). They appeared for everything BUT my VKB stick, which were blanked on the buttons and the Z-axis (T-rudders) were set axis on throttle instead of rudder. I then manually assigned the stick functions (forgot the trim which I discovered when trying a Case I).

 

I trapped fine in the F-14B with an OK... also noticed the change in afterburner effect. Not the "whoompf" it would do before but a bit of a delay then hearing the F110 GE burners similar to before without that initial ignition sound. The TF30 does a popping noise.

 

And Supercarrier thinks F-14A is a Hornet. I called "Tomcat Ball" in Voice Attack and the communication was Hornet Ball. Also noticed on a cat launch (which I usually always do two traps, one launch on the Instant Action Supercarrier Case I), they didn't tell me to extend my wings and told me to raise my nose strut as if I was still a Hornet, but only for the F-14A. F-14B had it correct (except for the known wrong signal for kneeling).

 

Was able to trap but ignored the WO. The TF30 drop power alot faster than the F110...
