DEWorley Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 after my 1st un-install/delete folder/re-install i started having weird problems, my throttle remapped from the collective to the throttles & not able to get the game to recognize remaping it back me blowing up evertime i launched C8 rockets game not recognizing joystick buttons mapped to various functions, it would vary from 1 re-install to the next i may have found out why, i figured if i un-installed & deleted the folder then all the old settings/mappings would be gone but i just found out by accident that Vista64 still had all my old re-installs (to different folder names) with the old joystick files, etc saved in a 'owner'/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/Program Files (x86) folder. i've deleted the old folders & will see if the joystick button mapping improves.
Acedy Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 That's why I asked you in the other thread if you used Vista and installed BS into the default Program Files directory. :music_whistling: If you install into Program Files be sure that the launcher.exe and DCS.exe start with admin rights, because then Vista should not create the "Compatibility Files" folder and use that to write program data.

DEWorley Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 it looks like there are actually 2 folder structures at least with Vista one that the game is installed to, c:\program (x86)\whatever folder you choose and one that vista creates to store data, this is where i found my campaign, tracks, joystick, error files. these weren't in the 'installed' folder
