Input user files directory

[skypickle]

Why does this directory exist when controller settings are stored in the config directory? Where does dcs look to load controller mappings?

Hi, 

all user inputs are saved in the saved games dcs config input folder. 

example C:\Users\bigne\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input

So why does dcs make this other directory?

Please be more specific - exact path and filenames. Maybe you saved a profile?

@skypickle - config folder in main game folder is where other default configurations are kept. for example graphics.lua

I don't have it. You must've copied it from some mod or with some custom profile.

I don't have it either. Whatever it is, it's not part of default DCS folder structure.

i do not have it either.

have you inspected what is in the folder? i do not have or ever had MODS.

and you are not first person to wonder. this post dried up.

I've seen it show up when an update changed controller mappings for a module. And I don't run any mods.

I think this folder, at least for me, is when I save my stick/throttle/rudder profiles, it saves my importable/exportable file to this folder.

Exactly, this is for explicitly saved profiles which can be done from the dropdown menu accessed with the little triangle next to the device name in the Controls setup.

This way your files (e.g. for backup reasons) are nicely separated.
