Where is progress from "My Campaigns" stored?

[FupDuck]

I've searched this forum and found that campaign progress for the DCS campaigns are saved in logbook.lua, but this file doesn't seem to save the progress of the campaigns I have under the "My Campaigns" tab (i.e. the stuff I downloaded from here). People also suggested just copying over the entire previous saved games folder, but I'm trying to avoid that as I did a new build recently and I'm trying to "keep it clean" (the game runs way better since my fresh start). 

 

Any idea where the non-DCS campaign data is saved? Thanks!

should be on logbook.lua at /saved games/DCS/mission editor/

 

you can check by flying a campaign mission and after it ends, check the date of the file has updated

This is the one that I copied over, and it was drafted from right before I did my rebuild, but it only restored the progress of the campaigns that come with the DCS modules, not the "my campaigns" campaigns.

Hi,

Probably your custom Campaigns are not on the same path they were before. You can open logbook.lua with Notepad++ and take a look .. the official Campaigns have a relative path, that makes them much more resitant to changes on their location, for example:

 

["campaign"] = "./Mods/aircraft/Flaming Cliffs/Missions/Campaigns/Su-27-Fortress Mozdok.cmp",

 

But custom Campaigns have an absolute path, like this:

 

C:/Users/Papito/Saved Games/DCS.OpenBeta/Missions/Campaigns/en/Su-25A - Emirati Rebellion (by kabalum)/Emirati_rebellion_v1.cmp",

 

If you move the Campaign somewhere else, say you move Saved Games to your D drive, then the logbook record wont be found by your new DCS.

Interesting, I will take a look at this when I'm back in front of my rig. Thanks!

This ended up solving it, thank you kind sir! I set up the rebuild with a different windows account name, and that changed the path inside logbook.lua. Thanks again!
