Controller and key bindings - is it possible to copy them?

[Bankoletti]

Hey all,

I'm new and I've only played with Su-25T for a couple of weeks now to get the basics down. Anyhow, I've just noticed that all controller and key bindings that I've created relate to this aircraft only. Is there a way to copy or transfer key bindings to another aircraft? I know some key assignments can't be simply copied (like weapon systems etc.) - but a lot of them could be (basic flight controls, axis, engine management etc.). Is there a simple way or do I have to do it manually? It's a bit tiresome to do this for all the flyable aircraft in the sim.

Thanks!

You can use the Save Profile and Load Profile buttons of the Controls Window. On my experience this is only practical with FC3 style aircrafts, the full fidelity modules are better served by manually binding what you need, as each aircraft controls design is very different from the others.

Yup, it ain't IL-2 where you set everything for all the aircraft in one go. As Rudel said, each aircraft has it's own specific controls, however, a lot of them are equal like gear up/down/toggle and in general have the same bindings...
You'll also find that modern aircraft use a slightly different name for certain controls then WW2 aircraft.
But you don't need to set up everything in one go, just pause the sim if something is missing, get into controls, set up what you need and fly on.

Hi, thanks for the answer! Would you be so kind and elaborate on where to find these "save" and "load" profile options? For the life of me I can't find them anywhere!null

not on my pc at the moment, but try un-selecting the foldable view.

Edit: I notice that you dont have a hotas to have axes control, here is how to setup a cheap Xbox or Playstation gamepad for use with dcs:

I do have HOTAS (Logitech X-56 Rhino, works as it should), I just don't have it plugged in at the moment. Still, even when I do, nothing changes (apart from two columns for each device) on this menu, still no "save profile" button anywhere (with foldable selected or not).

This.

If you un-tick Foldable View, the Load Profile and Save Profile As option become available.

Ah, ok, my mistake, works now. Thanks!

(I thought foldable view is the + and - signs on the left, used to "fold" the view lol)
