Dginn69 Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 Hello all, forgive me if this was already covered but my search did not give me ay results that clearly answer my question. I just started DCS about a week ago. I was just going to upgrade my current GPU & PSU but have decided to upgrade the whole pc instead, as it should allow me to run both XP & DCS on high settings. I also use X-plane 11, and to move that all I have to do is copy the x-plane 11 folder to the new pc. Do I need to do a new install of DCS? Will all my purchased modules follow with a new install? Will doing a new install affect the modules I have purchased? And while I am not completely set up in DCS what about the things I do have set up? Can I copy the :saved games" folder over? I will hopefully have the new pc in the next week or 2. My new pc will run XP & DCS exclusively. With XP & DCS sharing a dedicated 2tb SSD. Thank you in advance.
Paganus Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 You might avoid some headaches by doing a fresh install. You can activate/deactivate the modules in the manager. If you must try a copy over, I would at least install the base game on the new machine, and then overwrite it with the old. Some Saved Games folders are ok to move. Kneeboard, Liveries, Missions, Scripts... Others are not. Controllers will be addressed differently, and fxo, and metashaders2 will not be the same on different hardware. Good Luck!
