Multiple Installs Of DCS (Steam/Stand-Alone) about joystickprofiler HOT 3 OPEN

1) Yes, both the DCS ID DB and DCS Clean DB. 2) Yes, there are checkmarks for not including those games, but why do I have to uncheck them as opposed to checking them? They are always checked. 3) Frankly, there are many options and buttons on the screen, but no dialog to “lead” you through what to do to make it GO? In other words, I can add/remove relations, import profiles, tweak other settings, but when I am done with all of that, what BUTTON or dialog do I press to make Joypro update or change DCS input profile settings? It’s great what you are trying to do to make all the planes in DCS use the same control axis and buttons, but the software itself does not “lead” you through the process and for us ignorant users, we have no ideal what to do or how a proper joypro configuration works. Let me stop and say it is apparent we are from different countries and have different ways of looking at software. You are the designer. Your audience and 75%/85% of your customers/users do not understand how to use what you have built. We look at the software and to us, most of it makes no sense. We watch YouTube videos and even those are confusing. Most developers use a software design that leads users through the process, or stops a user when the settings would break something. Once all the settings are done, most ignorant users what to see a “Go” button or an “Update” button. To be honest, for the ignorant user, this software is confusing at best, and will break things in the worst case. I have been playing with this since your first versions and I still have a vague understanding of what it does, even though I understand the basic principle that it will set all DCS aircraft input to the same settings for keyboard and controller, and I worked for Microsoft for ten years as a software development engineer for Windows NT through Windows XP. So, if I have trouble figuring it out, what would most average users be faced with? Joypro does have promise and DCS does not make that process easy. Without Joypro, users have to do each aircraft input one at a time, and ignorant users cannot even do that effectively. Most users of DCS want one thing to solve this. Just give me a software utility that “imports” one profile and then makes that profile effective of all aircraft and a GO button to implement it. They really don’t want to spend hours trying to figure out what all those buttons do. If you’re a smart and educated user of DCS, then you want to have access to those buttons, because you’re an advanced user not a novice user. So, for novices and ignorant folks, hide advanced controls and give them a simple import profile and a GO button. For the advanced user, expose those controls and give them choices, then a GO button. This software has great promise, it just needs a user friendly UI for novice folks.

For the steam version have you checked/tried selecting in the dropdown the Nonsteam version or manually put in Settings an override path to your DCS Install you want to base it off? The checkmarks remember your last selection and you have quick checkmarks to turn off all other games other than DCS or IL2 So if you always just want to operate one way and you never delete the meta file, it should remember your selection. How do you suggest the UI to Improve? Im open for concepts and so on, but i need concepts for it and then time to rework it :) — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#44 (comment)> , or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AEFF5EBACIGU2QH5EENY3TLVGVGERANCNFSM5T4ZVSSA> .
