Model transfers to V3 Model folder

I'm confused by this statement in the V3 Manual. I'm just trying to get V3 setup right.

"copy all directories EXCEPT for the ‘models’ directory and the
tx.ini file to the transmitter. Optionally, copy the ‘models’ directory to the transmitter except for the currently configured model files."

Does this mean that I should copy the new V3 Model folder from the FS zip file into my Devo 8S, and then carefully copy in my Model .ini files into the new Model folder, or does it mean that I have to re-configure all my existing Model files?

I guess what I'm really asking is;
Can I Use my old Model folder, and copy it into the new V3 File system Model folder.

Another question;
Is there a difference in the unused Model files used in V2.0 compared to V3.0 or are they the same?

Thanks very much vlad.
That clears it up for me.

Also, are the templates different in V3 compared to earlier releases?

OK. Will do.
Thanks again.

Do not restore Tx.ini, use the one with the FS for your Devo build, recalibrate and reconfigure.

I don't understand why, it should work with older ones but I had some quirks when I used an old tx.ini.

I think that's good advice.
Just load everything in new, and then make changes from there, adding in old models, templates, skins, etc.

I will also review my model config files just to be sure that all the switches do what I expect them to do.

I'm not quite sure what that means.
Does it mean that I have to reconfigure all my switches in my model configuration files?

OK. I'll watch for that.

I like the Advanced mode, so all my config. files were developed using that mode, but I would like to experiment using the icons in basic mode.

I used the tx.ini that came with v3 and recalibrated - no problem. However, I deleted the models folder that came with the v3 filesystem and copied my previous model folder in. Other than the toggle icons needing to be reconfigured - I have not had any problems. Did I do something wrong here? I also removed and recopied my icons folder. Please advise if I have caused a problem that will show itself later by erasing the v3 models folder and copying in my previous model folder.

You should be fine.
The icons are independent, they were just shown on the screen.
The model config files are compatible, only the toggle icon references changed.
The only thing you should do when copying your models to the new folder: do not overwrite the default.ini and unused model files because they can contain changes to the old defaults.

Well I did overwrite everything cause I deleted the v3 folder. I will try to set up a new model tonight and see if its causing any unexpected behavior using the old version blank models.
