brettt777 Posted August 12, 2023 Posted August 12, 2023 I recently had to change some drives around... installed an M.2 SSD for the OS, then two more SSD drives, one for DCS and on for other high end sims... P3D, Star Citizen, etc. Then two 3tb HDD's for storage. The drive with DCS on it stayed the same in that I didn't change anything on the drive. But it changed it's drive letter. I used to have the OS on that same drive, so all the associated directories and files that DCS used were all on that drive. Now the OS is on a different drive (Also went from Windows 11 back to Windows 10). DCS works fine now... except all the control configurations I had for my Winwing HOTAS don't show up. Now, I could reenter them as I did write them all down. But I would prefer not to have to punch all that in again for two dozen jets and helicopters and planes, oh my. So my question is... where exactly is/are the configuration files stored for DCS controls? I haven't yet deleted all the OS files on the DCS SSD so I'm guessing they should still be wherever they were. Anyone have an idea where that might be?

DCS works fine now... except all the control configurations I had for my Winwing HOTAS don't show up. Whenever you re-install windows, the USB identification ID of the Hotas changes, which confuses DCS, that's why the prior configuration doesn't show up, to DCS it looks like a new device. 5 minutes ago, brettt777 said: Now, I could reenter them as I did write them all down.

So my question is... where exactly is/are the configuration files stored for DCS controls? they are at c:/users/your user/saved games/DCS/Config/Input/ inside there is one folder for each aircraft you have, and inside that there is a folder for each device category: keyboard, mouse, trackir, joystick. Inside joystick there should be one or more .diff.lua files .. check their dates, the one with a date after your Windows install is the newest, the one with the prior date is the one that contains your old key bindings. You can either rename the new file with the name of the old one, or copy the contents of the old file into the new file. Note that you wont have a new file if you dont bind at least one control on the new windows. 1 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
