[9.JG27 DavidRed]

anybody already had any luck with it?i tried to read the readme.....but honestly im a bit helpless.first i dont have this autoexec.cfg file, so i would need to create one, which is already the first problem...i dont know how to.

and then after creating this file, i would have no clue what to write into it....

I too would love to know if anyone can help with. I had lots of custom snap views assigned to my Corsair K90 G keys and they have all gone now:(

Hi,

 

Use Notepad++ and click "New". Paste in what you want, Save it as "autoexec.cfg". Put it in the required folder. You may need to make sure you are saving as a certain format.. I have not looked into it yet (line below).

 

" - file encoding should be UTF-8 without BOM"

 

hopefully, this will get you started and smarter people will be along to help.

I think you would add the line that points to your custom view.lua file into the autoexec.cfg file. Be sure to use "/" and not "\" in the path.

 

I don't know for sure as I don't use custom snap views. The only line in my autoexec.cfg is "options.graphics.maxfps = 29".

Exert from snapViewsDefaults.lua

 

--reformatted per-unit data to be mod system friendly

--this file is no longer should be edited for adding new flyable aircraft , DCS automatically check core database for this data

(i.e. where you define your aircraft in aircraft table just define ViewSettings and SnapViews tables)

 

Note this part - it is handled differently now, modifications go into your user profile of windows and not in the config/view folder as before, and format of file is most likely different.

 

-- result of ingame editing is saved to Saved Games/<USER>/DCS/Config/View/SnapViews.lua

 

Maybe able to just move your Snapviews.lua from the old directory to the new one, but the format of the file itself may have changed, so be careful.

 

Suggest you recreate your custom snapviews with the new system, I am Trying to do this as we speak, but haven't been sucessfull yet though.:(

 

Major changes to format of file and name have been:

graphics.cfg - renamed to graphics.lua, and heap of redundant stuff removed

view.lua - major changes to format

autoexec.cfg - Added to override settings of graphics system

server.lua - major changes to format

SnapViewDefaults.lua - major changes to format

SnapViews.lua - major changes to format and directory it is placed in (not to sure about this one yet)

 

 

Cheers, Ian.
