DCS World: Handle DCS defaults for device that are not exposed in Saved Games configurations #33

When i run the program and select my saved games folder, select the A-10C and click export joystick profiles, it seems that it is only showing any custom updates i might have made. i have attached the results for the A-10C and my TM Warthog HOTAS. You will see there are many bindings missing that should be there based on the stock config. DCS - HOTAS Warthog_A-10C.zip

Thanks for reporting, are you able to send me your DCS config file for the stick/throttle under the A10-C/joysticks config folder?

Hey @DracoLlasa I've done some digging, and found a new scenario that is going to require some work.

Essentially this will affect anyone using default DCS binds, where they exist for your stick. Anyone using a fully customised profile will be ok.

From initial look, default configs are stored in C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft*

To fix this is going to require a pretty substantial rework to the parser, but probably something I need to handle to make it useful!

I will need to come up with a design/solution before I tackle this to ensure bases are covered.

Thank you for the update, i think this could be a very useful tool, especially why learning new modules. i will follow the project and watch for updates that i can test out. Let me know if you need any testing related help

Hi, I think this is not fixed in last website release (1.4.1). If it is not done, may I try to help ?

After further analysis, this is not trivial and requires more understanding of DCS behaviour.

This will require

Extension of plugin system to allow plugins to specify multiple setup items (current is one path expected)
Parsing of new file types in order
Dynamically handling the default device configuration and then layering on the existing parsed config

Welcome someone to take a look at the parsing/plugin integration piece and we can go from there with extending the plugin system to expose further settings to the client.
