I just logged in but unlike normal I had to enter my username and password. When I logged in all of my controls are now gone. I have most of the modules and after a long break I returned to dcs a couple of months ago and I was on the way to getting all my controls completed. If I don't get this back I will not be playing again. I hope you can help fix this.

@huggy98 Have you looked in your saved games/config/input/aircraft type/Joystick folder - hopefully there are some files in there?

I just swapped my HOTAS Joystick Base over - same stick grip, but it created a new folder and ID. All I had to do (same grip mind) was cut and paste the contents of the old into the new. 

Not sure but believe it may happen if there are other hardware changes.

Hi m8. Thanks for your reply. My folder looks empty to me. My computer did an update last night. It was strange when I logged in that I had to log in with my user name and pw. Normally I go straight in.

Really odd. Try a file search across your drives for joystick in case they have been removed and deposited elsewhere? 

Not sure if that is the right address, as I don't have the 'common' in mine - as soon as I open input on my c drive I get a list of aircraft I have configured. (Not at my games machine at the mo so cannot have a looksee properly).

Here's another that I have set the key bindings. This has more files but none of them work.

OK - so think you're on the right track. Mine are here:

So if you open one of the folders in the saved game folder - say for the F15, and click through you should hopefully get to the config luas:

These are the aircraft I have set key bindings for. It's not showing the aircraft I have not done. I think this is a good thing. lol

It looks like I found my key binding files. Now can anyone tell me what I need to do with them please?

It is a good idea to take a back-up of your Saved Games Input folder once you are happy with the bindings.

Thanks for the help guys. My bindings have magically come back. Don't know what happened there.???
Probably a Windows thing.

I think it was. I did a system restore and it was still the same so I shut down my laptop and went to work. I logged back on and tried transferring one of the files and when I started dcs the key bindings were all back.
