InputUserProfiles folder in SavedGames>DCS.openbeta what is this for?

[sobe]

I just noticed a separate folder titled InputUserProfiles located at Saved Games>dcs.openbeta>InputUserProfiles .  I normally place my profiles for my HOTAS etc in the folder DCS.openbeta>Config>Input>MODULE.NAME.  What is the difference in the two folders and which one is correct for a DCS module and for a community mod module?

InputUserProfiles are where the lua files are for any profiles you save, via the dropdown menu available at the top of each device's column in the Adjust Controls menu. I personally use them a lot, as I have some devices that have the same device name and occasionally get mixed up when they get a new ID in windows. When that happens, it's quick and easy to load the profile into the right device in DCS.

Same here - it is a wonderful feature! I had to do that recently when the device id of my Virpil CM3 Throttle changed with a firmware update.
