C.R.V Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Currently running MFS but want to try DCS. If I were to assign pairings for the peripherals required to control a/c in DCS, would I loose the assignments currently used in MFS? CRV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
