anyone know where these files are stored, so I can back up settings (like on the F15)?

%savedgames%\DCS (diff.lua files)

To be more specfic: C:\Users\your user name\Saved Games\DCSwhatever\Config\Input\.

Back up this folder and you're good (this method won't work when moving to another computer, but that's a topic for another discussion).

While we're at it, the whole Saved Games\DCS folder contains all your game settings, records and whatnot, so you might want to back it up anyway.

I don't have DCSwhatever folder, I uninstalled DCS and downloaded and installed it again twice but that didn't work. Also tried re-installing Windows but now I only have empty Saved Games folder. I contacted Microsoft support too, but they couldn't help. I'm thinking whether I should buy a new computer to fix it. Any thoughts?

stop spamming the forum Iceecl

theOden has it right.

Is this purely sarcasm for the sake of being funny...or did you actually do all of this? If it's just being snarky...let's leave it out of threads where someone is trying to get help.

Yea .. sorry - I checked the question was already answered - if it wasn't obviously I'd had answered his question.
