Possible to copy controls settings to new profile?

[Griphos 10]

I need to create a new profile with a different name for joining an online community. I have a good number of custom controls set up in my original profile already. Is there a way to copy the controls settings to the new profile without setting them all up again?

Yes.

1.

First start the game and create your new profile with default settings. This so it creates the folder you need to enter.

Shut down the game.

2.

Go to C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\Arma 3 Alpha

and copy the two profile files with the old nick and settings in them.

3.

Then go to C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\Arma 3 Alpha - Other Profiles\NewNick

Paste the copied files into this folder.

4.

Cut the NewNick files and paste them to desktop.

The files with the default settings you do not want.

5.

With the NewNick files moved rename the OldNick files into the NewNick file names.

Just right click rename the desktop files and copy the text.

6.

Once you have done this the NewNick profile will have the same settings as the OldNick profile.

Start the game and select the NewNick profile. Done.

You should be able to open your profile file using notepad which is in your documents folder and copy the relevant key bindings over, or copy all over if your still keeping the same graphics settings, etc.
