For a number of reasons I decided to do a complete reinstall of WoFF UE and to upgrade it with PE. Please advise what should be my back up and installation sequence.
Namely:
1. Which folders/files should I back up to avoid re-assigning the controls/keys and to preserve my pilots (I'm not planning to continue flying any existing careers, just want to keep now deceased pilots for history's sake).
2. Should I update UE with latest UE patch before installing PE, or is it not necessary?
3. When do I install the official skin packs - before or after PE?

1. For controls/keys - backup the following file: C:\users\admin]appdata\roaming\obd_games\obdww1 over flanders fields\woff keys.xca. You need to show hidden files and folders in order to see it. I don't know how to preserve pilots but I think there's a mod that will accomplish that.

2. not necessary

3. before PE

You can use either Robert Wiggins's backup utility or Mission Editor backup feature. Both applications save pilots, necessary config files and keyboard mapping.
