Agree with both of you, but the file is overwritten only if you add the repeat 32.0000 line to the pedal axes. (That is when/where the error is triggered, and the file is messed up)If you don’t add such line to the axes, then the file is written when Flight closes, on "shutdown". That is why the batch file works with the tweaked xml file, keeping all other tweaks.

You are making an assumption that is incorrect... "some" of us loose the assignments when Flight restarts. You will just have to "believe" me that it does happen!

Absolutely correct, which was my reason for suggestion a batch file to begin with. I got temporarily sidetrack into chasing the wrong rabbit when challenged, and my original trail of logic got lost in the fog...Thanks for picking the trail back up properly. All's good now.

You were NOT challenged... I simply described what was happening to "some" of us, with Saitek Rudder Pedals. There was NO rabbits to chase! You simply have two trails of logic to follow. If you ignore one, confusion will follow for some!

You were NOT challenged...

That was a poor choice of words on my part, perhaps questioned politely would have been more apropos.
