I was gonna suggest Orbx's FSXGo as well, picked it up when it was on sale for 5$ but to be honest I have never used it. I actually bought it thinking it would solve a different issue. I should try it out. But for now if I want to change many settings at one time during flight is use the FSX load feature and just pick a fsx.cfg file I have created with specifics I need. I have several created. Works fine but there is always the load time one must consider.

Hi everyoneJust got back from a work trip last night and couldn't log onto the forum on my (not so smart) smart phone while i was away. Next time i'll take RSorochak's cue and and say that i'm expected to be away for a few days so that people don't think i've fallen off the edge of the planet.Going back to what i was doing last Sunday night, i'd loaded on another scenery (Gibraltar), had saved it as a separate .cfg Closed down FSX properly (End flight then exit FSX), loaded my 'Master.cfg' and the settings were still slightly different on the scenery detail slider than they were when i set them up. The time before when i did this, it was the mesh setting that had moved. Anyway, i then reloaded the settings for Gibraltar and the autogen had shifted to sparse from dense. Stranger and Stranger said Alice.Last thing i did before i shut down on Sunday was to download the FSXGO (was only about £6) to see if it will be any use, though my initial scan of it and the rather woeful set of instructions, i'm not sure till i really have a go.I'm hoping to have at least a day of 'simming' over the weekend so i can 1) read through your replies again 2) try some loading of saved settings before i fly, and then this time write down the exact results each time and 3) have a look at this FSX Go in more detail. Just to update, in case it has any bearing on things in the meantime... i have FSX with accelleration running on a Dell XPS quad core i7 64bit with Windows 7.Will update over the weekend.Thanks all :-) Steph
