Saving keys

[Ernohauki]

Hi,

 

I decided its time to install DCS world and DCS A-10 module for it. So far i have been playing the standalone DCS A-10. Now i started thinking. How i can save my key designations so that i can use them in the new A-10 as putting in all those keys again is pain in the behind.

 

Thank you

I'm not sure if this fits for the standalone version but check your "windows user directory/saved games".

You'll find a folder called DCS and one called Config.

I think this is where all your input settings are stored.

I'd just save the entire DCS folder.

After you have installed DCS World you can put in the input files of your A-10C.

I've read again and again that people suffered from various problems when they did what you just asked for.

 

AFAIK, overwriting the DCS World key assignments with those from 1.1.1.1 will create new problems. In the end, that may well cost you more time than setting up new key assignments.

 

With that said, these are the paths you should be looking for if you're going to try it anyway:

 

A-10 Standalone:

C:\Users\{your username}\Saved Games\DCS Warthog\Config\Input\A-10C\keyboard

 

DCS World:

C:\Users\{your username}\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\A-10C\keyboard

 

Before overwriting anything in the DCS folder, you should create a backup.

It's generally a bad idea to try to keep your keyboard settings for too many patches in a row.
