accidentally deleted input profile

[dmatsch]

Hi, everyone.  I've gone through a time today!  All I wanted to do was just fly a bit while the wife was out...

 

I was making a backup of my inputs folder and accidentally deleted my FA-18 TM Warthog inputs folder for the throttle, stick and keyboard.

 

In trying to re-load a profile from here but all it gives me are two LUA files.  

 

**My Load/Save profile buttons in DCS options are disabled.  I can't load anything.

 

I've tried copying the two LUA files into the DCS game dir as well as my saved games folder, BOTH under /mods/aircraft/FA-18C/input/FA-18C/, but no profiles are loaded in DCS and the profile page for FA-18C SIM are blank.

 

I've also tried removing and re-installing the module with same blank results.

 

could someone please help with rebuilding this profile?  It looks like I need to do all three sections: joy, throttle, keyboard.

Have you tried undeleting the folder from the recycle bin?

[dmatsch]

it's gone.  I had zipped up the entire user folder, but it got corrupted on file copy.  didn't realize until after I completely killed the original. 

 

I recovered everything except the FA-18 settings.  Lost the TM Warthog stick, throttle and keyboard LUA files.  if I could just get those from somebody with similar joystick AND find a way to import them.

 

The "Load" and "Save" profile buttons in the game settings are disabled for me.

Not much you can do if you fully deleted it.  Reset the Keyboard category to defaults, blank the other peripherals by column and start over binding them from memory.  You have your work cut out for you.
