Maybe, you trying to save file, which is 'in use' (for example, game is running)?

Hollywood, you are trying to edit files in C:\Program Files\somewhere\else.

Program Files is protected from users (including admins).

(Yes, you can change that - but dont turn off UAC. It keeps your Windows safe).

 

DCS/FC2 "userfiles" are stored in the C:\Users\<youruser>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50

So to edit a "userfile" you need to open the version that is stored there - and save it back into the same location.

 

If you do a lot of file-edits, I would recommend that you install Ka-50 in a place outside the C:\Program Files. For example C:\Games\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50.

This will allow you to edit the files directly in the C:\Games\Eagle Dynamics directly, without having to dig deep into the "VirtualStore".

Your own "custom folders" are not protected in the same way as C:\Program Files
