lorfar Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 hi I reinstall all Windows 11 formatting pc (and drive C:). I have 2 install on ssd D:. One for Open Beta and one one for the stable. Now I would like to reinstall everything on these 2 existing directories. How can I do this while making sure the registry values are also written? I also backed up the contents of the Saved Games folder. When starting DCS the commands, for example those of the axes, do not correspond to those made by me How do it? Please one step by step "I told Orville and i told Wilbur, that thing will never fly" The last fomous words [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do the repair. Can i modify guid by regedit? or in another way? I have 28 modules + Flaming Cliffs 3 (6 modules). 34 air craft. I have stick + throttle + Rudder pedals. (3 devices). If I have to rename all the lua files it is 204 operations (34 modules multiplied by 3 devices).

Thanks silverdevil. Now I understand everything Inside DCS I just need to import the old lua files. Another thing. Is the repair process sufficient for installation? Does it enter the keys in the registry correctly? Or, if he doesn't include them, are they actually necessary?

Does it enter the keys in the registry correctly? Or, if he doesn't include them, are they actually necessary? importing yes! i renamed my LUAs but import likely works fine. renaming the LUAs is how i did it. the repair process is sufficient to get the game folder healthy. there is little need for anyone to reinstall. many times users do this only to find that either windows is causing problems. or something in Saved Games. i do not believe is much in the registry that needs manual changing. but repair will do this.

Many thanks. It's not possible in some way insert old guid in regedit or in other location in the operation system ? After the last update what is the difference between the open beta and the stable one?

silverdevil Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 5 minutes ago, lorfar said: It's not possible in some way insert old guid in regedit or in other location in the operation system ? to my knowledge no. i have a controller with GUID of "53E5BBD0-924B-11ec-8001-444553540000". searched registry and came up with no results. however the GUID per controller remains constant between aircraft. so you could do a batch file to rename everything from the old GUID to the new GUID ren "Joystick - HOTAS Warthog {12345678-924B-11ec-8001-444553540000}.diff.lua" "Joystick - HOTAS Warthog {53E5BBD0-924B-11ec-8001-444553540000}.diff.lua" https://www.windowscentral.com/how-rename-multiple-files-bulk-windows-10 AKA_SilverDevil AKA Forums My YouTube “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” — Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
