Getting controls back after patch

[FencerX]

I applied the new patch and my controls profile is showing the program defaults. I tried to find the old profile files but can't seem to find them. It's the HOTAS that's most time consuming in particular. I'm looking in

 

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C\Config\Input\Aircrafts\A-10C\joystick

 

None of the files there seem to be it.

 

I don't think I actively saved my profile to a special file before.

Does the patch wipe out the previous files? If so, why?

The patch should have retained your config files.

 

Copy and paste this into a run (win+r) command:

%userprofile%\saved games\DCS Warthog

 

This is the directory where DCS saves all user specific info.

 

You can use Windows Shadow Copies to find an old copy:

• Find the file you want an old copy of

• RightClick the file and click properties

• Select the Previous Versions tab

• Find a version from a previous date

• Select open, copy, or restore based on your intentions

This didn't work for me. I got back an error:

 

C:\Documents is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

 

I cut and pasted your command this verbatum into the terminal

 

%userprofile%\saved games\DCS Warthog

 

(You didn't mean I should substitute something into %user profile%, did you?

 

btw, I'm running Win XP if that matters.

 

Thanks in advance for the help

Nevermind! I got it. The old config files are in

 

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C\DCS Warthog\Config\Input\A-10C

 

not

 

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C\Config\Input\Aircrafts\A-10C
