Can’t load profiles

[deirpo]

I downloaded Bailey’s 3 Voice Attack profiles for the AH-64D. After extraction to a desktop folder, I opened VA and imported the Apache .vap file.

Started DCS , options, controls, clicked on keyboard column, Load profile, browsed desktop folder file location, selected AH-64D Pilot Keyboard.diff.lua first, but when I click OK nothing happens.  No files gets imported!

Message at bottom of Load profile window says “File does not exist!”! 

Followed Bailey’s installation sequence but I don’t see what I’m missing. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Barry

I am also experiencing this.   Cannot load profiles, something I've done many times before.   I'm using the same process i used before.... like as recently as last month

I sure wish I could get it to work as things with taking off and hovering with the joystick I am using is not much fun.  
DCS saves some things and not others and profiles wont load.  I found spudknockers and another xml file and
I do not know where to put them. I do a search for *.XML and only one file comes up on the open beta DCSW SSD.

I have the same issue, but was able to solve it by rolling back to 2.7.11.21408.1 Open Beta. After doing so, I tested by upgrading back to  2.7.11.22041 Open Beta and the bug returned; then rolled back to 2.7.11.21408.1 Open Beta and I'm happily flying again.

To roll your install back, from command prompt:
C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin>DCS_Updater.exe update 2.7.11.21408.1@openbeta

Instead of pressing OK, try double clicking the profile name in the browser.

Hello. You can feel free to ping/mention me if you are having issues with related stuff (I hope other content creators are ok with that too). I have heard that a solution is to Clear your keyboard binds and then Import the new ones.

I cannot even get my DCS Saved Games area to work in Updater GUI utility, and Ive been using it for a while and never had a problem like this.
I have copied so many LUA files and messed with things that I finally did a clean up and the Mustang now flys when I try to use it in a mission,
instead the A-10 II always loaded. 
   Every time I want to fly, I have to reset whatever plane I am flying. It remembers some settings sometimes, but its very frustrating.

Has the load profiles ever worked?  I bought a new system and saved my profiles, yet none of them load into DCS, so what is the point of the save and load options?

Is there some magical trick to it?

Yes they do work usually, however you have said you bought a new system, so the hardware id's on the old ones wont work with the new as far as I understand it. Would need to start fresh

Actually, you just need to find the new IDs for your controllers and rename the config files to have the new IDs. I had to do this after an upgrade a few years back.

yes you can spend time editing them. 

Personally I find it quicker just to map controls again from scratch.

Thanks for the reply.  I assumed it was something like that so started to map them; great fun

You can actually use the old .diff.lua files and load them into the "new" device ID, like you would with a backup. Fastest way I know, apart from command line script magic, with the benefit, that anyone can do this.

Only if Keybinds changed drastically, you may need to sort some orange lines.
