Went to save Viper config profiles. Game deleted them instead?

I assume this a lost cause but ill make this post incase its something that can be avoided in the future. 

 

I went to the control options for the Viper and navigated to the Keyboard and Joystick columns for my controls. Went to 'Save Profile As' for each one and made sure file explorer was in the right folder. Now each folder is just empty. No config files in them and the folders are also 'Read Only'

hello. my only guess on the information provided is you are saving in the main DCS folder. try saving these in another folder. these are only for importing later. if you want a backup, make the changes in game and then make a backup of saved game\dcs\config folder. exact path name may be different.

there is a little app called dcs witching. this has a button to "backup config folder." it creates a zip file dated for future reference.
