Rattler Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Wish I could help you mate. You can burn files to CD rom, assuming that you would want to keep skins, any missions you've made, and any special tracks you've recorded. You might also want to copy any *.ini files you have, perhaps the entire 'users' folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Bucky Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Thanks Rattler. OK Now I know I can burn files to a CDrom.I'll play around with that and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBloke Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 The following folders and files would be the ones to backup: folders PaintSchemes - Contains all your default and downloaded skins from online game play Missions - Contains all Missions for DF and Coop games. (You can delete NET folder as these cannot be read.) User - contains key settings for each pilot in game files conf.ini - in game settings They should fit on a normal blank CD without any problem.

Blairgowrie Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Just do a copy and paste of the game Bucky. Paste it to my documents or a folder on Desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Bucky Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Thanks BG.There has been so much talk about the mod thing.We are an honorable group and don't have to concern ourselves with who's using what.Rest assured,my mod use will be purely out of curiousity and would never be used around here.Strictly offline only.Ditto with the rest of us I'm sure!

Highlander Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 You can also use a USB Flash Drive to store your files on. A 2 GIG flash drive is only $15 to 20 dollars and for a little more you can get a bigger one (4-8 Gig) and backup your whole IL2 game files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
