Ability to access multiple drives in My Missions tab


Recommended Posts

Posted

At the moment, it is only possible to access missions from the 'My Missions' tab that are on the same drive as the Saved Games folder.

There are campaigns that have practice missions in the main DCS relevant 'Campaigns' install folder. At the moment, if one has DCS installed on a separate drive to where the Users/xxx/Saved Game folder is, then these missions can only be accessed from ME, where the file dialogue allows access to all drives.

It would be really helpful if access to all drives was made available in the My Missions tab.

I agree it would be nice to have this integral, but as a workaround I use symlinks, just create one for your actual DCS location within your saved games and you should be able to do it.  Mine allows me to access mission files stored on my server PC over the network.  There are a few utilities that can easily generate them for you.

Excellent suggestion. I made a link from the command prompt, and as a workaround, that's working well.

Glad it helped!

 

Slightly OP, but I also use symlinks for some of the DCS terrains that I don't play on much. I create a symlink where they usually belong on my main SSD, but link them to my secondary SSD to save space on my primary (which is faster (NVMe) but smaller than my other one (SATA))
