frostycab Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 One of the most annoying things I find I deal with in DCS is control mapping. Every time there is an update many of my HOTAS control bindings seem to reset to their default settings. I've found the option to save my bindings for each aircraft, but unless I'm doing things wrong it requires me to make separate saves for throttle, stick and pedals. So I have to save 3 profiles for each module, and then have to reload 3 profiles for each module when they get reset. Can we please have single SAVE and LOAD buttons in the control editor that will just backup ALL our bindings in one go and reload them all together? Apologies if I've just missed it and been doing it wrong all this time. 1
MAXsenna Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Make a copy/backup of the input folder in Saved Games. Cheers!Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk
frostycab Posted January 15, 2021 Author Posted January 15, 2021 Thanks. Is that where DCS saves the changes I make to all my profiles? Does that mean if I make a change without exporting the profiles myself, they'll be in there in the same state as when I closed DCS? That's brilliant!
MAXsenna Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Apologies for the late reply.Yes, they will be in the same state, and you can also transfer to another computer, you just have to rename the files with the new hardware IDs in the file name.Cheers! Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk

MAXsenna Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 How?In you're drive:\users\Saved Games\DCS\Input or drive:\users\Saved Games\DCS.OpenBeta\Input You can make a copy of the whole input folder, and it will include settings for all your installed modules. You can also copy this to another computer and change the files names of the settings to reflect the device IDs of the new computer. You can even make symbolic links to this folder, (actually all of them), and share it between Stable and OpenBeta, so you don't have to do double work when setting up devices. This is what I do. Beware though, as one can have some conflicts when there are descrepancies between Stable and OpenBeta. Hope this helps. Cheers! Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk 1
