Question About Folder Structure


gryper

Recommended Posts

I found 2 campaign folders:

D:Steam/Common/DCSWorld/Mods/Campaigns

and

Users/Me/Saved Games/DCS/Missions/Campaigns

I downloaded some user campaigns from the DCS website and I am wondering why the two folders in seperate locations and which one do my user campaigns go into?

 

And I will likely have questions about any mission folders and user mission placements so i might as well ask about that too.


Thanks.

Andrew

The one at Steam is for payware Campaigns, the one at Saved Games is for user campaigns. The user campaigns instructions for each, should state this clearly.

Oh ok, I am not aware of any user campaign instruction location. Where might these be found?

 

Also, I additionally found a campaign folder in:

D:/Steam/steamapps/common/DCSWorld/Mods/campaigns

and then also in that mods folder is an aircraft folder which each also have a "mission" folder.

 

I am thoroughly confused. I would simply like to know:

1. Where do user-made campaigns go?

2. Where do user missions go?

Thanks Again.

Well, any good quality user Campaign should clearly state where it should be installed, for example this one:

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3328036/

.. it clearly states:

Installation:
-Extract file into C:\Users\%username%\Saved Games\DCS\Missions\Campaigns\en\"

But of course, Campaign quality varies greatly and there are some that have no instructions.

The first location /Mods/campaigns/ is for payware campaigns. However, some aircrafts (for example the Mirage 2000) came with "free" included Campaigns ... those are placed by ED within the respective aircraft's folder structure.

User Campaigns go into /Saved Games/DCS World/Missions/Campaigns/EN/  ... each campaign on a subfolder, like this:

User missions go into  /Saved Games/DCS World/Missions/
