Changing PC: what folders should I backup and copy over new DCS installation?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I just recently tried free DCS World and got my mind blown so I had no choice but to gladly jump back into the rabbit hole that is combat flight sims and the money sink that runs parallel. Luckily simfest discounts came just in time.

The thing is that I ordered a new PC (it was about time, DCS is the perfect excuse for it) and I'd like to keep all the tracks, missions downloaded and specially control layouts to port them to the new PC. I have a Steam installation and I would like to make sure I know what to copy. I'm guessing that I should copy all the contents in the 'C\USER\Whatever\DCS' and that I don't need anything inside the steamapps\etc folders, right?

Thanks in advance!!

Correct, you need your /saved games/ files, but you can also transfer the program itself without re-downloading it:
