New Computer and New Install

[JG1_Shadepiece]

Hello guys,

 

I am about to build a new computer, and I am looking to get a clean install of the game on a new hard drive. I don't want to loose all my mission, group, and config files. Is there a way to save all that, and import it all into a new installation? What folders or files need to be saved specifically? Some guidance on this would be much appreciated.

 

Cheers!

Im sure its possible, but i dont know exactly all the files you should save and import for the new install. Exept the data/input folder for your control settings, and data/luascript/ snapviews folder for your camera settings. Mission folder is also inside data folder and Group and Configs are somewhere too. Someone will know, just wait...

Hi Shadepiece,

 

I would make a copy of following folders:

• "X:\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\Missions" & "X:\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\Multiplayer" for all of your missions
• "X:\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\input" for the configuation files of your IL-2 installation
• "X:\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\Template" for all your groups you've created with Mission builder (ME).
   

Just my two cents worth opinion ...

By community request, here is a short instruction on how to preserve key and axis bindings (for example, in a case of a complete reinstall):

 

1. You need to back up these files:

\data\input\current.actions

\data\input\current.devices

\data\input\current.map

\data\input\current.responses

\data\input\devices.txt

2. In case of installing from scratch, restore these files from your backup, replacing the existing ones.

3. This would work if you have the same controllers connected.

 

IMPORTANT: because of these changes, device mappings may mix up after updating to 2.005. In this case, exit the game and re-start it again. If this doesnt help, you can change device IDs in this file:

\data\swf\il2\storage\storeddevices.txt

Only exchange between the devices the parameter highlighted in red:

4,%221b3634e0-a831-11e6-0000545345440180%22,CH%20THROTTLE%20QUADRANT|

 

cheers

hi

I d say don't install inside C:\Program Files*  folders cause the UAC , better to do a custom folder for your sim and other games, like  C:\Games\il2

Also take startup.cfg. It's in the data folder.
