transfer campaign saves

Yes you can, simply copy the /mision editor/logbook.lua from the saved games folder belonging to your open beta install (most likely /saved games/dcs.openbeta) into the same path of the saved games folder corresponding to your release version (likely /saved games/dcs/)

 

 

If you will be keeping both versions and using them both, then it might be better to delete the /Mission Editor folder of the release version and then create a hard link to the same folder on the openbeta.

While you can make a link for individual files, it is really easy to loose sight of them ... and that can mean that they will not be copied when you do backup copies. So, I prefer to do the links at the folder level instead.

 

Here is a tutorial on this subject:

Practice first on a sample folder until you get the hang of it, before attempting to do this on a DCS folder.

 

There is also an utility that does this on the gui by drag & drop:

Tough I prefer the manual method, as I like to know what I’m doing instead of hiding this behind a gui.
