Moving Existing Key Bindings to a New FS2020 Install

Featured Replies

A friend has a new PC and wants to preserve his existing MS2020 key and button assignments when he installs FS2020 on the new PC.
My understanding is control bindings are backed up automatically in the cloud, so will the new install on the new PC preserve his existing controller bindings, 
or will be have to start from scratch in setting up MS2020 on the new PC?
One possible work around I thought of is the wgs file in FS2020 stores the controller bindings (I think). So if necessary, maybe copying the wgs file from the old install to the new one 
might work. Has anyone tried something like that?

It should. Early on I had to nuke my entire install and start fresh.  Once I completed the new install and connected to the cloud servers my profiles and settings were all available.  YMMV but was my experience.  Also screenshot everything in the settings pages, just in case
