rss0900 Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 I can't seem to figure out how to get my x52 profile out of DCS a10c and into DCS World. I've went in to A10c Sim and saved profile as then went in to DCS World and loaded the profile and although it loads something it's not my profile. How can I make this simple transition please?
EtherealN Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 What kind of profile are you using? By using Saitek's bundled software for profiling you shouldn't need to move anything, just start the profile in the Saitek Profiler and it'll be correct from the start whichever version you use.

Daze Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 I use Saitek's SST along with a certain in game profile, so I needed to move my Joystick profile from DCS: A-10C to DCS: World A-10C Column. What I did was: saved my profile in A-10C, found its file location, copied it, pasted it into the input section in the DCS: World folder and that's it. People say it doesn't work like that but it worked fine for me... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] First to Fight, First to Strike.

No I have not used the joysticks software (sst) to build the profile. Set the options directly through DCS options menu.
rss0900 Posted June 9, 2012 Author Posted June 9, 2012 I guess I'll have to remapp all my controls again, this is the part of DCS a10c that would keep me from playing for months on end. It literally takes hours for me to find the right "SIM" commands and map them to the joystick button I want. Not to mention you have to exit the sim and go back to the main menu/config everytime you want to change/tweak something. I dread messing with controls for this SIM.
Parrotman Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 I did this for my X52 profile. In DCS-A10C, controls, click on a joystick entry and the 'Save profile' button at top is activated. Save the profile into a location you can remember. Close DCS A10 and navigate to where you saved the profile. Check it has an extender .lua If not rename to .lua Open DCS world - controls- and click on a joystick entry and the 'load profile' button will activate. Navigate to where you saved the profile and load. Note: if you created a modifier in DCS A10C, say 'Pinky', you will have to create that in DCS World before the modifier will work. good luck, worked for me. Regards, Andy

Thanks I've tried this save the profile from the original dcs a10c to the l drive, did not show up in DCS world to load until I added the .lua as you mentioned above. It will load and there are some mappings for some views for the x52 but all other mappings are missing. Edited June 9, 2012 by rss0900
rss0900 Posted June 9, 2012 Author Posted June 9, 2012 If I load the same .lua file in the original dcs a10c all mappings are there. Obviously, I'm either doing someting wrong or there is a bug in the dcs world. 1) pull up original DCS a10c 2) Goto config, click on saitek x52 column 3) Save As, export as .lua file to L drive 4) Close DCS a10c 5) Add .lua to the end of the file in windows explorer 6) Open DCS world 7) Goto config, click on Saitek x52 column 8) Point to my L drive and load the profile 9) - profile not correct ??? 7)
Sceptre Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 I use a CH Fighterstick and Pro Throttle and it took me 10 minutes to re do all my commands in the DCS options menu....... I'm not saying anything here, I don't know about the Saitek X-52. RTX 2070 8GB | 32GB DDR4 2666 RAM | AMD Ryzen 5 3600 4.2Ghz | Asrock X570 | CH Fighterstick/Pro Throttle | TM MFDs | TrackIR 5
rss0900 Posted June 9, 2012 Author Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) Something else I just noticed, but I can't even edit manually the saitek column for commands like m, c, v - the lines are highlight in bright red. Cleared all the columns and reloaded but still no joy, it's as if everything is locked out on the config page. Anyone else have rows highlighted in red? Edited June 9, 2012 by rss0900

Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing
rss0900 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Posted June 10, 2012 I've managed to fix this. Had to copy the Input folder from my windows profile directory not the game directory itself. Once copied in to DCS World it is working now, wow what an effort! 1) Go to c:\windows\users\(you)\Saved Games\DCS Warthog\Config\ 2) Had two folder under saved games DCS and DCS Warthog, appears the DCS one in the DCS world 3) Copy the input folder from DCS Warthog to DCS In a prior post this is what Daze recommended, however, I was using the game install path instead of the users\saved games path.
