Building a new PC - How do I save/export my keybindings?

[Reisen]

I'm building a new PC and won't be moving my old SSDs to the new computer. Can I back up my game settings with my HOTAS keybinds and apply them on the new system so I don't have to start from scratch?

Anyone?

Your keybinds are stored in the /data/input folder.

Be aware you may have to edit the devices.txt file. More than likely your new system will assign different ID #s to your controllers.

Thank you for the help 🙂

If you print out that devices.txt file you can use it as a reference so that you always plug the controllers back in the same order so that their numbering stays the same.  I also plug them in based on the chance of being replaced.  My Crosswind pedals always go first.  Joystick goes last and throttle is next to last.

In case anyone else reads this all I had to do was copy the input folder to the new build after I'd connected all my devices and when I started the game it asked me to assign each device. Didn't need to edit any files manually. Easy.
