it should have all your prior assignments. Now, run DCS and go check the control bindings for that plane. In fact, you are updating the name (just the name, not its content) so that it has the name that currently DCS can use.
Clic on its name and paste the name that you saved. that should be your last binding file from your old DCS setup. copy the whole filename onto Notepad, to keep it saved. What you have to do is run your DCS and try to bind one button to your HOTAS, then exit DCS, go onto /Saved Games/DCS/Config/Input/ your aircraft /joystick/ and check with the dates which file has today's date. On the image you can see that I re-installed my windows on 2018, 2019 (twice) and the last time was on 2020. If you reinstall Windows, then the USB IDs change. The strange hexadecimal string in parentheses, is the USB ID of the HOTAS device assigned by Windows.
these are the bindings for my A-10C, how they look from a file system view: To distinguish among all the multiple HOTAS devices that you may have on your PC (say, a Throttle unit, a Joystick, a Rudder Pedals, etc), DCS adds a suffix to their bindings files, let me show you an example. Please upload your dcs.log file to confirm this. If this is the case, then DCS should be using the /Saved Games/ config and the problem is limited to the HOTAS bindings. Hopefully, instead you copied the /DCS World/ folder that is WITHIN the old /Saved Games/ onto the new /Saved Games/ of your current Windows.
I have tried to just accept my fate and play with a keyboared From what I have seen 7th heaven used to work befor the 2.0 update, and I would go to the previous update if I had it available. Saved Games/ is a special Windows folder and so it should not be copied or pasted like regular folders. I have rebinded all of the steam controls for desktop and a global steam controller setting. You don't say exactly how you copied from your old /Saved Games/ folder. Maybe the Old (copied) DCSW Build 2.5+ is mapped to look for a Different User Name ?Īny Suggestions ? Looking at Mega Hours to Hand-Jam all Config Settings back into my 15 Aircraft Modules.
Only thing I can Think of is that I used a Different User Name (User Account) when installing Windows 10 on the new SSD. on the New SSD (w Win10) - DCS World Not Seeing (Not Using) Saved Games Config Files (copied from Win 7 SSD) ? All Flight Control (HOTAS Warthog and Keyboard Setting Inop). Authentication/Activation Worked Perfectly (all Modules Available), EXCEPT. Lucky - had previous SSD with Win7 DCSW Installation - Booted with that and went back to Online Mode. For example, changing BIOS or reinstalling Windows in offline mode will not allow you to log in. * on the same PC - it means exactly the same for both hardware and software. OFFLINE mode cannot be turned off from another PC even with the same user's login. Note: user must turn off OFFLINE mode on the same PC*.
Ask for support.ĭespite Researching the Forums for how to migrate DCS World to a New SSD - I failed to come across these instructions:įrom: OFFLINE mode / "Cannot exit offline mode due to hardware ID change"
Goal is to Upgrade to DCSW 2.7+.ĭCS Login failed - Cannot exit offline mode due to hardware ID change. Copied DCSW Build 7 (from a Win7 Boot Drive) and associated Saved Games\DCS (with all Config Files) to New Win10 SSD. It seems that it is the 7H application itself that is disregarding the DS4Windows controls and causing FF7 to disregard them too.On the Same Computer - I installed a New (Boot) SSD and loaded Windows 10. eg- I can't use the mouse function to scroll up and down the 7H list or right-click an option. Also, I set the DS4 touchpad to work as a mouse, and found that it worked in Windows, but not in 7H. I did a test with all mods turned off, with the same result. But if I run FF7 through 7H, the controller keyboard commands are no longer accepted. The game accepts the DS4windows keyboard commands from my controller, and it works smoothly. If I run FF7 through Steam, the controller works as expected. For some reason, 7th Heaven running FF7 won't recognize the commands, although everything else seems to recognize them with no issues. I've got DS4windows mapping a bluetooth DS4 controller to the keyboard controls for FF7. Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm having issues here.
