Multiple folders confusion

[pewbeef]

Hey

 

I'm having a question about the various folders that appear in association with DCS. I previously had DCS:WH and DCS:BS2 installed separately, but removed both and installed DCS World instead with both modules.

 

Now I don't know what folder is for what. Where should I add or edit files (missions, configs etc.)?

 

I currently have following folders:

 

 

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World

 

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS Black Shark 2

(this one only contains a few training missions I added manually earlier, so I guess this is just a left over from previous installment?)

 

C:\Users\Charlie\Saved Games\DCS

 

C:\Users\Charlie\Saved Games\DCS BlackShark 2

 

C:\Users\Charlie\Saved Games\DCS Warthog

 

 

So where should I put missions and edit files now since I'm going with DCS World?

 

Thanks! :)

If you had removed the original product directories and the associated saved games folders when you uninstalled, you would not have this confusion. ;)

Haha, yeah, I know...realized that when my confusion arose...lesson learned for next time :P

That pretty much answers your question.

 

There is one folder for the DCS World install and one folder for it's saved game data. The rest are leftovers.

 

File/folder creation dates are handy for sorting things like this.;)

So every folder containing the names Black Shark or Warthog now are leftovers? Can I remove them completely?

These are the only two folders that DCS World uses. Everything goes inside one of them.

 

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World

 

C:\Users\Charlie\Saved Games\DCS

Ok, that answers my question!

 

Thanks for quick reply :)
