Mosley Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I will report back once I am home and try it. I've always been able to backup and load it this way each update. Unless something major changed which sounds like the case. Several people in the forums have updated and not been able to load the old Lua files. Might want to wait or plan on rebinding what's missing. i7 2600k @ 4.4 / GTX 470 1.3gb / 8GB DDR3 1600 / TM Warthog #7440 / Toshiba 37" 1080p / OCZ Vertex3 SSD 128GB / Win7-64 / TIR4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might want to wait or plan on rebinding what's missing.In that case I'd rather wipe out all bindings in my f18 module and go off of Chuck's guide again if rebinding is necessary. I used a mix of wags warthog profile with some additional bindings to make things easier for myself.

boscoh Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Lost some axis, stick and keyboard mappings as well. Quite inconvenient... But I made a backup of my Config\Input folder before launching the first time. You just overwrote the new files with the backup? I tried that, and tried loading via the in-game context. Did not work, so I remapped everything. 3800X, X570, 32GB 3600, RTX 2080Ti, SSD, Odyssey+ VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAngel Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I just remapped my HOTAS. No big deal. It kept the Axis and both MFDs.

Snapps Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I thought u had to back up inputs from both saved games folder and the game drive under config\inputs. I backed mine up like that but it shouldn't be a big deal having to redo them if that don't work. I went home from work to start the download and came back like I wasn''t even gone.

Kayos Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 It's odd that you can't load the old Lua files. Anyone find a work around for that? I tried saving a new Lua and pasting in the old info but that didn't work either. Odd. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosley Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) I thought u had to back up inputs from both saved games folder and the game drive under config\inputs. I backed mine up like that but it shouldn't be a big deal having to redo them if that don't work. I went home from work to start the download and came back like I wasn''t even gone. Checked the config folder in the game folder and it seems to be mostly default settings. The other thing is that If i rebind the keys, for example the nosewheel steering button its added to the users saved games folder lua file. However copying the old lua into the new one, copy/paste, and loading profiles does nothing. Like I said its not a big deal but its something i'm sure they either want to be aware of or say something like all keys have to be redone with this patch. Well to be fair, my flaps and gear still work on the joystick. Can someone check if the flaps and gear info is in the new lua file? overwrote mine. Something odd i noticed. If i copy the old lua's over to the config folder almost all of the commands dont show up in bindings, the flaps and gear still do.

I even saved a new one then copied the old info in and it didn't work. I've been trying to see how I can copy it to fix it since I'm at work and have nothing else to do :) I'll rebind when I get home if I can't figure it out.

Mosley Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 After rebinding are the changed actually being saved? When I was messing with it earlier I binded the nws button. It was added to the Lua file. I think checked the syntax of the nws section and it was the same as the old Lua. i7 2600k @ 4.4 / GTX 470 1.3gb / 8GB DDR3 1600 / TM Warthog #7440 / Toshiba 37" 1080p / OCZ Vertex3 SSD 128GB / Win7-64 / TIR4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sze5003 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Didn't take long to download the update but installing it is taking longer. Going to check the bindings soon. I'll probably just rebind everything anyway. I have been meaning to rebind my radar slew to axis so I guess now will be the time.

sze5003 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Ok so looks like the only bindings that remained as before after the update are my engine crank switches, wheel brake left and right, rudder and pitch + roll axis. Also flaps remained the same. Fcs bit button, and landing gear also remained the same. Everything on the stick I have to rebind.

Doum76 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I wonder, is there a way to save your setup in the options window? I don't remember seeing one..... I'll likely update anyway You can choose « Save Profile as » for you gears, i often do it for my Jostick, my throttle, my keybaord and my rudder, specialy after adding or changing stuff, plus, i take my config/input folder in my Saved Game folder of DCS and i copy them in a different folder as backup, better do more than being sorry. Been doing thisd for a few years, you never know what can happens, savec my ass quite a few times. So when you loose your settings, or when you get another DCS verison you can start by trying to simply copy the input folder in config, or if not working, simply « Load profile » in DCS/control settings. So let's see if it does work for this patch later when i download it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphamale Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 But "Load Profile" appears not to be working...yes, I save my profile several times and on different drives, just as a precaution, but if none of these are loading, then we have a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDSSTT Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I was about to update and saw this... if you update and rebind all the key does it save? I haven't read through the 8 pages.... yet [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.csg-2.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mx22 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I was about to update and saw this... if you update and rebind all the key does it save? I haven't read through the 8 pages.... yet Yes, it saves... Also, just as someone already mentioned - I would not backup controls settings and then load them up on a new version. While it may work, it may also mean that something in controls changed and there is a need for a total reset - this is alpha, not even beta, version of the module so everything is subject to change... It took me 5 minutes tops to reconfigure Warthog throttle and joystick; if you have problem remembering where you mapped your buttons, maybe it is time to rethink your mapping or what is being mapped.
