rattler Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Ok , I made a copy of the F-15 ramp start.miz , renamed it F-15 test miz. I then made some modifications to get used to things. did copies of that miz and will not show even if I make a folder and drop them in. Now for the fun part. I said hell let me start from scratch again as I was not getting a few things and my ability to talk to tower is porked don't ask me why. I had it and now I don't not even for the original ramp start .miz. So I deleted everything that I had done. Nothing shows, till I start the mission menu and there it is my F-15 test.miz. What have I done and where do I go to get this all deleted. Looked in BS folder and others and I can't find it but it is there somewhere. It's valid as I can fly it. So where is it. Please send help.:helpsmilie:
Panzertard Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 If you change files - and you have installed to C:\Program Files(x86) - and you're on Vista\Win7: - All your "userfiles" will be stored to the "VirtualStore", ex: C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\ Perhaps you need to have a look for the mission there - and you may need to copy it over to "C:\Program Files"....... if you plan to overwrite one of the original files.

I am using windows 7x64 and lockonfiles fc2 is in the C:\lockon Fc2.0. there is no virtualstore that I can find? I will look again but can't find that file name.:(
Panzertard Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 No, virtualstore only kicks in with Files/Programs stored under the "protected C:\Program Files" etc. If you need to find your mission, in Windows 7 you can do the following: - Open "My Computer" - In the "Search"-field (upper right corner), type: name:F-15 test Free hint: You can also search for all .MIZ files typing: extension:miz - Wait for the search to find your file. - In the result, rightclick the file and select "Open file location".

Ok, found them and deleted them. Now if you can help with this one. I have no contact with control tower. Using key commands for request to start engines etc. I get no reply. Have I messed up something in my trials to learn how to change and edit missions? would you suggest a re-install and how would that effect my activations and deactivations. Sorry for being a pain but I did not have DCS-BS so this is all new to me now and I am making mistakes. Learning though but have to ask for help now and again.lol.:D
