Hi Pluton. When writing in French , please open a thread in the French speaking users section, here: https://forum.dcs.world/forum/29-francais/

You can simply copy-paste any DCS installation folder ("DCS World" or "DCS World OpenBeta") from one drive to another. It will work. The only things that will no longer work are your DCS shortcuts. You'll need to edit them.

Thank you Mr Flappie
excuse me I had translated it I had to copy paste the wrong side of google translation.
Thank you for the answer, when you say that the shortcuts will no longer work it also includes all the settings of the joystik and trottle?

he refers to the windows shortcut that are on your desktop, as they point to the DCS programs that you moved. Your settings are stored at the /Saved Games/ folder, so they are not affected by this move.

Thank you gentlemen for your help.
one more question!
Does copy pasting also work for the SavedGame?

No ... the /Saved Games/ is a special windows folder, don't attempt to move it by copy paste ... follow these instructions:

Thank you Mr. Rudel these explanations are clear and precise, you have given me very good information.
Again thanks to you
I wish you good flights
Be well

Apparently I have to return the ssd disk
because it looks defective (because once installed in the tower it is well recognized in the bios, it is on enabled but windows does not recognize it and by right clicking on the disk in disk management it is marked not allocated and on on the net they say that when a disc cannot be rented it is that it is defective, so I sent an email to the seller to see what he will tell me. I will come back to follow up on this little problem.
GOOD FLIGHT PILOTS

And if you right click on the non-allocated zone, can't you create a new volume?

 

 

[PLUTON]

Ha that not try I will do it tomorrow because tonight not at home
thank you MR Rudel

[PLUTON]

I come back to you to answer your question Mr Rudel,
yes I did a right click and it tells me that it cannot be rented
What do you think ?

Hello,

Its hard to say from just your description, maybe your disk is defective ... let me show you how I manage new drives on my Windows:

 

1) This is a small external drive, it already has data:

 

 

I will delete its current volume ("Vol 1"), by righ clicking on it and selecting "Eliminar" (Delete)

 

2) This is what an empty drive looks like:

 

3) To create a new volume, I right click on the unassigned area and select "New Simple Volume", like this:

 

 

The new simple volume wizard automatically starts:

 

 

Follows its prompts and give the volume a name:

 

 

The volume will be created and formatted with NTFS fil system, it will take a few seconds, afterwards it should look like this:

 

 

Now, tell me if this sequence is the same you get?

 

 

 

 

 

[PLUTON]

I will try your method and let you know what happened.
Thank you Mr Rudel
