Hotas profiles

[Flapjacks]

Hey, so I'll be getting a new hotas and I wanted to know if the game automatically saves a profile for the keybinds of my current hotas or will I lose all of my assigned keybinds when I plug in the new hotas and start saving keybinds to it? Also, If I have to save a profile, do I have to save for each aircraft or can I save them all under one hotas profile?

You actually dont lose any keybinds, they will still be there if you ever plug your old Hotas back. The new Hotas will need new keybinds, as DCS will recognize it as a new device .. DCS may attempt to auto-assign som axis though, so be sure to check those.

Every aircraft and device is separate, can't save them all at once unfortunately.

The only use I ever found for the save/load profile was this: Since the AH-64 has the same controls for the pilot and CPG, Set up the stick and collective for the Pilot. Save As then load into the CPG. It works! But you’re saving each one separately. Not sure that’s useful for anything else but that’s how it works. Maybe something like the F-15E with dual controls would find that useful.
